In footage from earlier today, we hear from Chris Jericho and The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson). Nick is looking forward to thte upcoming Stadium Stampede match and mention how Jericho is one of the founding father, and Matt mentions their history. Jericho says they are a team for the first time, and considers this an honor while asking them to forgive him so they can move forward. The Young Bucks say that Ricochet and The Don Callis Family (Andrade el Idolo and Mark Davis) will not know what hit them when they face "The Bucks of Jericho." Jericho favors the team name of "Y2Jackson." Nick feels the former name rolls off the tongue better, and Jericho combines the two team names into "The Bucks of Jackson or is it Y2Jackson."
