FTR Sets Its Sights On The IWGP Tag Titles As AEW Contracts Wind Down

AEW stars Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler are teasing a potential New Japan run and declaring their desire to challenge for the IWGP tag titles.

FTR members Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler have a few very clear-cut goals … but not all of them involve AEW. And if their own words are anything to go by, they’re more than ready to part ways with Tony Khan’s promotion in order to take care of business.

Harwood and Wheeler addressed their future and their current AEW contract status during a recent chat with Brandon F. Walker on Barstool Rasslin‘. The FTR said they want to regain the AEW tag titles next year and they intend to defeat The Briscoes, the stalwart Ring Of Honor tag team they confronted during last week’s Final Battle pay-per-view.

I think we are going to be the first-ever two-time AEW Tag Team Champions,” said Wheeler. “In 2022, we are going to get the titles back. We are going to have the title run that we should’ve had the first time,” he added. “Rematch with the Young Bucks. Beat the s**t out of The Briscoes. Hold titles everywhere.”

Harwood later revealed that the lads don’t have much time left on their AEW contracts.

“I don’t know what’s going to happen from there. But we have a short amount of time to accomplish what we want to accomplish,” Harwood said, before declaring FTR’s intention to challenge for the coveted IWGP Tag Team Championship at some point.

So far, FTR has been unsuccessful in its attempt to recapture the AEW World Tag Team Championship, but they didn’t manage to win the AAA tag titles from the Lucha Bros on Dynamite a few weeks ago.

Harwood and Cash Wheeler formed a tag team while they were both members of WWE’s developmental roster. For the majority, they were known as The Revival, due to their penchant for an old-school style of tag team wrestling. The duo parted ways with WWE in 2020 and subsequently jumped ship to AEW. They made their AEW debuts on the May 27, 2020 edition of AEW Dynamite.

FTR Debut On AEW Dynamite In A Segment With The Young Bucks

Former WWE stars The Revival, now known as FTR, have finally made their debuts in AEW.

It all went down following The Young Bucks and Matt Hardy defeating Private Party and Joey Janela Wednesday night on Dynamite. Butcher and the Blade attacked the Bucks after the match was over, but then an old school truck pulled up to the building with Cash Wheeler and Dax Hardwood inside.

Instead of attacking the Bucks, however, the duo went after Butcher and Blade. After fending them off, FTR once again came face-to-face with Matt and Nick Jackson.

Butcher and Blade attempted to attack FTR from behind during the standoff, but the Bucks hit them with superkicks to knock them out of the ring.

FTR and The Young Bucks then had another standoff, but Cash and Dax left without saying anything.

Watch how the segment unfolded below.
