Report Ad Wrestling Young Bucks Enter To ‘MMMBop’ By Hanson At AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door
It was a throwback theme for the Young Bucks (Matt Jackson & Nick Jackson) at AEW x NPJPW Forbidden Door.
Upset with the disrespect over the last month, the Bucks demanded they have their old theme for Forbidden Door.
The former AEW Tag Team Champions received just that as production played “MMMBop” by Hanson as the Bucks entered the arena.
“MMMBop” was the first theme used by the Bucks when they were Slick Nick and Mr. Instant Replay.
The former EVPs have been given the jobber treatment since AEW All In when they lost their EVP status against Will Ospreay & Swerve Strickland. They’ve been given terrible music, MS Paint graphics, poor introductions, and identified by the wrong names.

The Jonas Brothers are pulling out all the stops for their 20th anniversary tour.
During their concert in Virginia Beach, Va. on Friday, Aug. 15, Nick Jonas, Joe Jonas and Kevin Jonas brought out Hanson, surprising fans with a performance of their 1997 hit “MMMBop.”
Hanson, made up of brothers Isaac, Taylor and Zac, took the stage at the Veterans United Home Loans Amphitheater with an extra layer of nostalgia.
The JoBros posted about their collaboration on Instagram with their 2007 song “That’s Just the Way We Roll,” which namedrops the nostalgic boy band.
“You got moves, I’ve got shoes, let’s go dancing/Pop and lock, battle dance against Hanson/If we lose all the girls they’ll be laughing,” the song plays, with each brother lip-synching to certain lyrics and Hanson making a cameo as well.
Taylor Hanson posted about their surprise appearance on Instagram with behind-the-scenes footage. “A Beautiful night with @jonasbrothers @kevinjonas @nickjonas @joejonas (Happy Birthday Joe). Not a bad way to spend 24hrs!” Joe turned 36 on Friday.

At the show kicking off their JONAS20: Greetings From Your Hometown Tour, Demi Lovato joined the JoBros on stage to perform “This Is Me” from Camp Rock and “Wouldn’t Change a Thing” from Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam.
Jesse McCartney also took the stage at MetLife Stadium to sing “Beautiful Soul,” bringing fans back to when the singer and brothers toured together at the start of their respective careers.
Then at their show in Camden, N.J. on Aug. 14, the group brought out The Click Five in a surprise appearance to sing their 2005 song “Just the Girl.”
Speaking to PEOPLE in June, Joe reflected on the band’s 20 years together and how he feels privileged to be able to do what he loves for a living.
“Twenty years in now, still being able to do what we love for a living and have so many supportive fans and people that show up for these shows and listen to our new music and stuff, it’s why it keeps us doing what we do,” he said.
“I wake up every morning, [and] I’m ready. I get to do what I love for a living, so I’m happy to keep it going.”
Nick, 32, spoke to PEOPLE in July about how the band’s music has aged through the years and how it’s affected different generations.
“It’s aged very well. It’s one of those things where we’ve looked out and seen the fan base really evolve and change and there’s sort of a generational aspect to it now when you think about it,” he said at the time.
“The people that were our age back when we were teens touring and making music are our age now and they’ve grown up and they’re bringing their kids to the shows, but their parents that brought them when they were in their youth still want to come.”
Throughout their tour, Marshmello, the All-American Rejects and Boys Like Girls are supporting the band, who released Greetings From Your Hometown on Aug. 8.
Upcoming tour stops include Toronto, Boston, Detroit, Dallas, Seattle, Kansas City, Nashville and other cities through August, September and October.
They wrap up their trek in Uncasville, Conn. on Nov. 14.
Jonas Brothers Bring Out Hanson to Perform ‘MMMbop’
The Jonas Brothers surprised fans at a show in Virginia when they brought out ’90s boy band Hanson on stage top perform “MMMbop” together. The collab is a long time in the making after The Jonas Brothers name-checked Hanson back in their 2007 song “That’s Just the Way We Roll.”
Jonas Brothers Surprise ‘Battle Dance’ Hanson 18 Years After Name-Dropping Band in Song
The Jonas Brothers are only four dates into their JONAS20 Tour, but they keep upping the ante when it comes to surprise guests.
On Friday, August 15 — less than a week after the band stunned the crowd at New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium by bringing out Demi Lovato and Jesse McCartney — Kevin, Joe and Nick Jonas had their Virginia Beach audience losing it once Hanson hit the stage. Surprise!
Not only did Isaac, Taylor and Zac Hanson perform their mega-hit “MMMBop” alongside their fellow band of brothers, but they also joined in on Jonas Brothers’ “That’s Just the Way We Roll” — a majorly meta move, as the lyrics name-drop the band. (“You’ve got moves, I’ve got shoes, let’s go dancing,” Jonas Brothers sing the second verse of the song, which the group released on their eponymous album in 2007. “Pop and lock, battle dance against Hanson.”)
HANSON: Thank you for coming out to the shows!
