AEW Stars React To WWE Stars Referencing Them At Elimination Chamber

WWE

At last night’s WWE Elimination Chamber event, WWE Hall of Famers Edge and Beth Phoenix, the ‘Grit Couple’ came out on top in Mixed Tag Team action against Finn Balor and Rhea Ripley of the Judgment Day.

The finish came when Beth hit Rhea with a Glam Slam on the outside, before she and Edge hit Finn with the Shatter Machine to score the win, which was called as such on commentary.

The Shatter Machine is, of course, the finishing move of FTR, currently called the ‘Big Rig’ when used in AEW and NJPW.

The move was named the Shatter Machine during Dax and Cash’s time as the Revival in WWE, so it being used and named as such on WWE programming rose a lot of eyebrows.

There has been a lot of specualtion about FTR’s future, with their AEW contracts set to expire in April, and Dax potentially accidentally teasing a potential WWE move recently.

Reacting to the shout out on the show, Dax took to Twitter to simply say:

Shatter Machine

Cash responded to the tweet, also keeping it simple by saying:

What a great name

FTR are close friends with Edge, with him even subtly name dropping them on SmackDown during his feud with Seth Rollins back in 2021.
