The Young Bucks haven't wrestled in Japan since losing at Wrestle Kingdom 13 in January 2019, when they came up short against the then-IWGP Tag Team Champions EVIL and SANADA. Days before, the brothers helped announce the formation of All Elite Wrestling in which they are three-time Tag Team titleholders.

During their run in NJPW, The Young Bucks were former IWGP Tag Team Champions and captured the IWGP Junior Tag Team belts on seven different occasions.

Wrestle Dynasty, which takes place the day after Wrestle Kingdom 19, will feature talent from AEW, New Japan Pro Wrestling, Ring of Honor, CMLL, and Stardom, and are expected to be competing in a variety of matches.
