As previously reported, Roman Reigns took a shot at The Young Bucks, Nick and Matt Jackson, during a media conference call earlier this week. Reigns criticized the most decorated tag-team in wrestling today for imitating DX and using the “Too Sweet” hand gesture. The Young Bucks recently acknowledged and responded the shot that Roman Reigns took on them.
Below is what Roman Reigns said to The Young Bucks:
“No offense to any of these guys, but we don’t need guys running around doing ‘too sweets’,” Reigns said. “We don’t need guys acting like they’re DX from 20 years ago. We need original characters, guys who are [themselves]. I need Seth Rollins to be Seth Rollins. I need Kevin Owens to be Kevin Owens and I need Bray Wyatt to be Bray Wyatt. We need original superstars who have no clue what was done 15 or 20 years ago. No disrespect of our history and our past, but we’re trying to create something new here.
“That’s the most important thing, that we’re true to our characters and we’re true to our originality and where we’re trying to go forward as a product. That’s why it’s important for Braun Strowman to be the first Braun Strowman. That’s why it was important for me to tell [John] Cena that I’m not the next Cena. That’s burying me. I’m the first and only Roman Reigns. That’s all I can be, that’s all I want to be.”
Below is the response from The Young Bucks:
You expect old-timers/shock jocks to bury you, but not current, young, top-guys that you respect. Disappointing. #usVSthem

Even if someone isn’t a fan of matt and @NickJacksonYB surely they can respect the doors these guys have opened for independent wrestlers.

No clue about the beef but I’m a fan of YBs/Elite and Roman/Shield…for very different reasons. Going to see the former next Sun night.
