FTR will be gone from TV for a while (Picture: AEW)
There’s a very real chance FTR may not appear on TV for All Elite Wrestling again after being granted ‘a few months off’ to plan their next career move.
The popular duo Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler – formerly known as The Revival in WWE before leaving in 2020 to join Tony Khan’s rival promotion AEW – have been open about their creative issues with the company and admitted they are thinking about what’s next ahead of their contracts expiring.
Dax said on his FTR with Dax Hardwood podcast: ‘Tony has been nothing but top-notch to me and Dan [Cash] since day one. There are things that we haven’t agreed on, as any boss and any employee, even any friend. There are times that I felt the boat was missed on opportunities for us.
‘There were times that I was super happy with everything we were doing, but there has come a time where we are on the tail end of our career. Right now, at this point in our career, is the most important time in our career.
‘I mean that monetarily, creatively, and personally. It is the most important time in our career.
‘With that being said, we have asked and been granted the next few months off of television so we can sit back, reflect, decide, let out bodies heal, and figure out what we’re going to do for the next few years.’
He noted that their next move will be ‘the absolute last thing’ the duo do in ‘as far as wrestling’, but promised fans that they ‘will have an answer’ by the time their contracts expire.
‘I have to take my health, my family, my creativity, and I have to take my personal life all in consideration about what we’re going to do next. I know what I want to do, but whatever we do, I just want to be respected,’ Dax explained.
‘I feel we have done something so special in 2022 and most of that is in part to the fans. We deserve to continue to build on our legacy for ourselves, but also we owe it to the fans to build on that legacy because they made us this past year.
‘I’m not sure exactly how long we’ll be away. It may be all the way until the end of our contract. Our contract is up in April.’
After a decorated run in 2022 which saw the team win championships around the world in AAA, Ring of Honor and New Japan, the pair have lost all the gold.
