Jurassic Express may be the team that’s $500,000 richer, but it’s the Young Bucks who look to have the stronger storyline angle here following their loss to the newly reunited tag team at WrestleDream. Sure, that loss means they’re still the “Broke Bucks” with, if their entrance tron is to be believed, only $32.17 in their bank accounts, but they also look like they’re headed for a babyface turn.

After the match, “Jungle” Jack Perry and Luchasaurus extended their hands to Matt and Nick Jackson after retrieving the bag full of cash at ringside. The Bucks considered accepting, but not before The Don Callis Family would attack Jurassic Express. The Bucks, still playing the heels, didn’t help Perry and Luchasaurus, but Kenny Omega came to their aid. Omega tried to get their help to get ahead of the numbers game, but the Bucks were hesitant. AEW cameras made a point to show the conflicted Bucks on the ramp during the brawl, making fans believe they were actually going to turn around, quite literally, into a babyface turn. After the chaos with the babyfaces standing tall, the Bucks sheepishly stared down Omega on the ramp, but things didn’t come to blows between the former Elite members.

The “Broke Bucks” gimmick has been fun since it started back when they lost their EVP statuses at All In, but the story seems like it’s come to its natural end. The obvious next step is for them to come to their senses and possibly reunite with Omega, and maybe even Perry, alongside Luchasaurus, for a babyface run. Or, if AEW wants to do something really interesting, the Bucks could only just pretend to be friends with Jurassic Express, hoping to get a cut of the $500K.

The crowd in St. Louis was certainly ready to see a babyface Bucks turn, as was a lot of social media. Going in to “Blood & Guts” next month, if the company is going to do a men’s match, it could be fun to see a Don Callis Family team take on Omega, Jurassic Express, and the Young Bucks, as the match type would be perfect to further push Matt and Nick Jackson as good guys once again. It would also be a good place for a potential swerve angle, with the Bucks taking out the babyfaces to join the ever-growing Don Callis Family, or to at least align themselves with Callis in an attempt to get rich again. With just the simple babyface tease for the “Broke Bucks,” AEW seems to have unlocked quite a few options for the tag team going forward.
