Matt and Nick Jackson of The Young Bucks, formally known as Generation Me in TNA, have been posting a series of tweets on their respective Twitter accounts teasing a possible signing with World Wrestling Entertainment.
Pretty ironic that these coke bottles were sitting near tag team championship belts. pic.twitter.com/Z3vGqUbfjJ

It’s pretty ironic we’ve lost the PWG, ROH, and IWGP Tag championships in a matter of a month….. — The Young Bucks (@NickJacksonYB) July 30, 2014
I wonder where our careers will take us nxt?

In August of 2011, the brothers made headlines (for all the wrong reasons) when they received a tryout match with the company. WWE Hall of Famer and former World Champion Booker T was offended when they didn’t shake his hand. Rob Van Dam made similar acquisitions of the two during their time in TNA.
During a recent Northeast Wrestling Event, Nick and Matt took a photo with Booker T, trolling fans in the process.

The Young Bucks are former Ring of Honor World Tag Team Champions, three-time PWG Tag Team Champions and one-time IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions.
There have been no other reports over WWE being interested in signing them to a deal.
Editor’s Note
While The Young Bucks would make for a tremendous addition to WWE’s dwindling tag team division, until we hear more concrete deals over their being mutual interest between both sides, all I can do is take the aforementioned tweets as some light-hearted trolling.
