Dax Harwood Open To AEW Return Before Contract Expiry

After dropping the ROH, IWGP, and AAA World Tag Team Titles, FTR have gone on a sabbatical from AEW, with the team of Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler taking time to rest and contemplate their futures with their contracts set to expire in April.

Could there be a chance we see the multi-time tag team champions before their deals are up? Dax Harwood hasn't ruled it out, saying the following on the FTR podcast:

"There was no correlation there, none at all. I just happened to be watching wrestling, drinking coffee, and the two times of the day where I have endorphins completely running through my body are my first cup of coffee, especially if I'm watching wrestling, and my first drink of tequila. That's all it was. Endorphins and I really do miss wrestling. I still have to take things easy, let my body and mind rest, recuperate and be ready for, if we come back before April, I would absolutely love that. If Tony [Khan] is on board with that and that's what he wants, I would love to. If that's not what he wants, it's his company and I will do whatever he says because I trust him and he's the boss," said Dax.

Despite being away from TV, FTR have been the subject of some verbal jabs from the new AEW World Tag Team Champions The Gunns, and Dax spoke of their recent title win:

“They are guys who study the craft and try to be better. They're also a couple of guys who made it to the top because of who their father is. They never had to be in the trenches or they've never had to travel to these little s***** shows to make a buck or get seen. All they know is AEW or national television wrestling. With that, they may not think it and they may not be doing it on purpose, but with that, they think that everything should be catered to them. Personally, we have different thoughts and ideologies, and that's okay, you're not going to get along with everyone.

“I will say, there aren't too many acts in wrestling that people absolutely despise. They despise these guys. They get the 'ass boys' chants. When they won the tag belts, the people were mad. When you think about what wrestling is, you want people to be mad or to feel a certain way. They felt a certain way about that title change. Who knows what's going to happen in the future or where the story is going. There has been a story to this, this is a year long story that I wish people would stop and think, 'Oh, you're right.' There is a backstory and a long history. It's another chapter in the story. Congratulations to them, their first-ever tag team championships. I look forward to seeing what the Ass Boys and Acclaimed do next,” said Harwood.
