For this reason, this source believes the Bucks "wouldn't even need to gauge interest" about joining WWE since there was such clear interest in years past, and their stock has only increased in the years since. Another source, who was with WWE in 2018, noted that they had heard the feelers rumor but neglected to ask WWE higher-ups about it because "they weren't sure how that would be received." It's worth noting that the Bucks were in talks with the WWE in 2018, and nearly inked deals there before ultimately helping start AEW. It was not specified if these talent relations people were actively working for WWE. Within this report, Fightful did confirm that it had heard of people who worked in talent relations "outright" reaching out to AEW talent in August. The Bucks chatting with WWE management specifically would likely be considered contract tampering, but utilizing a third party to relay interest falls in a gray area. This anonymous source is said to "likely be in a good position to relay that information" and added that they "aren't sure who the Young Bucks would even reach out to" in regard to contacting WWE.


In an update from Fightful Select, this is said to have been a rumor among many of its sources "dating back to August." Sources specifically close to the Bucks noted that they "haven't been given that indication whatsoever" in regards to the Jackson brothers sending feelers to WWE.
