**Matthew Ronjon Massie** (born March 13, 1989), is an American professional wrestler that is currently an active member of the WSC roster under the ring name **Matt Jackson** and is 1/3rd of The Elite.

### The Young Bucks (2020)

Jackson made his WSC debut in the Tag Team Ladder Match to crown the first WSC Tag Team Champions along with brother Nick as The Young Bucks, and fought against The Usos (Jimmy and Jey), D-Generation X (Shawn Michaels and Triple H), and The Hardy Boyz (Matt and Jeff). Sadly, The Buck's lost.

### The Elite (2021)

During the 2nd Ultimate X Match, Kenny Omega attacked Seth Rollins from behind after the match, which leads the rest of The Shield to help Rollins, but both end up getting Super kicked from The Young Bucks. This sets up the 2nd Winners-Take-All Match between The Shield and The Elite. During the match, The Good Brothers distracts The Shield and The Referee, so The Elite can sneak attack. But as they do, Jon Moxley comes out with a Barbed Wire Steel Chair and cracks Gallows and Anderson across their heads, and Mox goes back into the ring with The Shield to perform a Triple Powerbomb to Matt. But then The Hurt Business comes out also to help The Elite. Kenny sets up Roman Reigns for Bobby Lashley to Spear him, but Roman ducked, leaving Omega taking the Spear. Lashley, distraught of what happened, gets Superman Punched by Roman then finally pins Omega.

### Elimination Chamber (2022-present)

The Young Bucks came back after a hiatus to the 2022 Tag Team Elimination Chamber along with Brothers of Destruction, RK-Bro, The Street Profits, champions The Usos, and The Brawling Brutes. The Bucks were the first to eliminate someone, as they performed the Meltzer Driver on Montez Ford and pinned him, eliminating the Street Profits. Unfortunately, with an RKO to Matt by Riddle, The Young Bucks were eliminated.
