The Young Bucks are also known for their work in New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) and Ring of Honor (ROH), where they became members of the NJPW faction Bullet Club; after a "civil war" in 2018, The Young Bucks, Kenny Omega, "Hangman" Adam Page, Marty Scurll, and Cody Rhodes were kicked out of the Bullet Club and went on to form The Elite. They have performed for various American independent promotions – most notably Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG) – and had previously worked for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) as Generation Me under the names Max and Jeremy Buck. On the independent circuit, they have won numerous titles as well, including four reigns as PWG World Tag Team Champions as well as being the only team to win PWG's annual Dynamite Duumvirate Tag Team Title Tournament on three occasions (2009, 2011, and 2013).
They have held the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship seven times, three reigns as ROH World Tag Team Champions, three reigns as NJPW's NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Champions (twice with Kenny Omega and once with Marty Scurll), three reigns as ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Champions (twice with Page and once with Cody Rhodes), and the IWGP and AAA World Tag Team Champions once each. They were also the inaugural AEW World Trios Champions with Elite teammate Omega. All totaled between AEW, ROH, NJPW, and AAA, they have held eight World Tag Team Championships, seven Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Championships, and eight Six-Man/Trios Championships (with various partners).
On two occasions, first in 2014 and again in 2016, they held the ROH World, PWG World, and IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championships simultaneously, and in 2018, they held the IWGP Tag Team, ROH World Six-Man, and NEVER Openweight 6-Man titles simultaneously.
