Dax Harwood Spells Out FTR’s Goals In AEW
The FTR duo is back in AEW and Dax Harwood has addressed what could be in the tag team’s future.
At the end of the AEW Worlds End pay-per-view in Orlando, FTR’s Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler returned with their good friend Adam Copeland to confront Jon Moxley’s Death Riders group.
In a promo to end the show, it was made clear by Copeland that he was coming after the AEW World Title held by Moxley.
As for FTR, the former two-time Tag Team Champions will likely be going after the Tag Team Titles held by Private Party. They could also seek the Trios Tag Team Titles with Copeland as their partner as well.
While talking to 3NT Wrestling, Dax Harwood was asked if FTR had any interesting going after singles titles in AEW.
“We get that question a lot, and it’s never been at the forefront of my mind, nor his, I don’t think. I don’t want to speak for him. But I don’t think so. I realized, and I think we both realized early in our careers, we had a conversation when we first started teaming, we said if we’re gonna make this work, there has to be no selfish ambition, we can’t worry about what moves I’m gonna get in, or what moves he’s gonna get in, who’s gonna talk the most, who’s gonna be in the ring the most. Never thought about that.
I understand my limitations. I can only speak for me, I can’t speak for him. But I understand my limitations.”
Dax Harwood Reveals What FTR’s Goal Is
The discussion continued with Dax Harwood making it clear that FTR’s goal is to be the greatest tag team of all time and they don’t want to be singles wrestlers.
“I knew that if I had another guy who had the same limitations as me, albeit he’s a little bit better looking than I am, but he has the same limitations as me, if we could work together, because I knew how talented he was and I knew how talented I am, we could go down as the greatest tag team of all time, and that was our goal. 2022 came around, and I embarked on a ton of singles matches, and they were pretty well critically acclaimed. But I would never want to leave Cash behind and do my own thing.
If there comes an opportunity where we can be like Arn [Anderson] and Tully Blanchard, where we can still be a unit, but maybe do our own thing, then that’s something I could think about. But I would imagine, in 2025, we’ll be gunning for some trios gold, and we might get back to the AEW World Tag Team Championships eventually.”
Fans of FTR can see Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler in action this Wednesday on New Year’s Day Dynamite when they team up with Adam Copeland against the Death Riders trio of AEW World Champion Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta.
