AEW Confirms Heat With Current Stars Rumored To Be Leaving?

AEW has seemingly thrown shade at one of the company’s former champions in a recent Twitter post.

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter awards were released yesterday, which saw AEW and it’s stars pick up many wins.

Throughout today, AEW has tweeted graphics celebrating their wins, including Jon Moxley being named Wrestler of the Year, Bryan Danielson winning the aptly named ‘Bryan Danielson Award’ for Best Technical Wrestler, and Tony Khan being named Booker and Promoter of the Year.

Two victories that AEW did not celebrate were those from FTR, with the former AEW World Tag Team Champions winning Tag Team of the Year and Feud of the Year for their rivalry with the Briscoes.

Dax took to Twitter, seemingly not happy with the company ignoring their accolades, with the caption:

Tell me April’s around the corner without telling me April’s around the corner.

Well, it turns out that since Dax’s tweet, AEW HAVE put up a graphic celebrating the victory in Feud of the Year, just not in the way Dax had hoped.

AEW shared a photo of Jay and Mark Briscoe, congratulating them on winning Feud of the Year, with no mention of Dax, Cash Wheeler or FTR at all, with the tweet reading:

Congratulations to the 13-Times & Current @ringofhonor World Tag Team Champions @jaybriscoe84 & @SussexCoChicken aka #DemBoys aka #theBaddestTagTeamOnThePlanet #TheBriscoes on being awarded @WONF4W’s 2022 Feud of the Year!

FTR’s contracts are set to expire in April, as teased by Dax, with many rumours that they could be departing AEW.

Congratulations to the 13-Times & Current @ringofhonor World Tag Team Champions @jaybriscoe84 & @SussexCoChicken aka #DemBoys aka #theBaddestTagTeamOnThePlanet #TheBriscoes on being awarded @WONF4W's 2022 Feud of the Year! pic.twitter.com/KgdXweAoaS
