FTR Provide Update On AEW Contract Status

FTR were guests on the Wrestling Inc. Podcast on Wednesday. It had been reported previously FTR was on a “handshake deal” with AEW. This includes potentially wrestling for other companies.

They updated what this actually means on the podcast. Dax Harwood had the following to say:

“The pandemic…that’s the only restriction we have right now and hopefully things are gonna start lightening up soon. But yeah, it is almost a handshake deal. Tony trusts us and we trust Tony. We’ve had a lot of conversations with a lot of different guys and Cash and myself are extremely excited about the opportunities we have in front of us.”

Cash continued:

“As he said, the only restriction is the pandemic which is obviously a huge restriction. But we have our fate in our hands right now. We get to call the shots and control and say what we want to do when we want to do it.

“I’ll say this humbly: we are a hot commodity right now. There are tons of things we want to do as we’ve always been extremely ambitions. We know that tag team wrestling hasn’t always been seen as the sexiest form of wrestling; it’s no surprise to us. But we’ve always been so ambitious and we set goals for ourselves that we 100 percent always think we can obtain. One of those goals is to wrestle for every company against every tag team that thinks they’re better than us and prove them wrong.”

Hmm, could we see them show up at Slammiversary and challenge The North? Or show up in New Japan? Maybe ROH or NWA. Only time will tell. Who would you like to see FTR wrestle against? Let us know on Twitter.

FTR discuss their upcoming match against The Lucha Bros, the Spike Pile Driver and more in the full podcast.
