Matt Jackson has finally addressed a running joke among AEW fans: why The Young Bucks’ match graphics seem to feature the same promo pictures for extended stretches of time, often spanning multiple pay-per-views.
During a recent episode of Being The Elite, Matt Jackson tackled the subject head-on, explaining the reasoning behind the tag team’s apparent reluctance to refresh their promotional renders. According to Matt, the answer comes down to his brother Nick Jackson, who he revealed has never been a fan of updating their promotional photos.
The explanation, delivered in Matt’s typically comedic tone, resonated with fans who have long noticed that AEW’s graphics packages for The Young Bucks often recycle the same images across numerous shows rather than debuting fresh photography tied to specific matches or storylines. For a team as visually and creatively driven as The Young Bucks, who have built much of their AEW run on sharp production values and self-aware humor, the admission fits neatly into their established brand of leaning into fan criticism rather than ignoring it.
Being The Elite has served as the primary vehicle for this kind of behind-the-scenes commentary since its inception, giving Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson a platform to address fan chatter directly rather than through traditional press statements. The format has long allowed the Bucks to blend genuine insight into AEW’s production process with the comedic bits that built their reputation well before the promotion’s launch.
While the explanation was framed humorously, it does shed light on a minor but noticeable quirk of AEW’s weekly presentation. Match graphics for pay-per-view go-home shows and weekly television typically feature updated or event-specific artwork for most competitors, making The Young Bucks’ consistent reuse of the same images a detail that attentive viewers have tracked for some time. Both Fightful and Wrestling Headlines reported on Matt Jackson’s comments following the episode’s release, with each outlet noting that Nick Jackson’s aversion to new promotional photo shoots was cited as the central reason.
No further details were provided regarding whether The Young Bucks plan to update their graphics going forward, and neither outlet indicated any additional context beyond Matt Jackson’s on-camera explanation.
