“Analyzing It Way More” – Top AEW Star Discloses How Cody Rhodes Has Made Him Unsure About Continuing in Tony Khan’s Company

FTR came far since they took a leap of faith to try their feet somewhere else outside of the biggest wrestling company in the world. Former ‘The Revival’ tag team consisting of Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler earned numerous accolades, including the RAW tag team titles during their WWE tenure. But eventually, the duo become displeased with their position in McMahon’s promotion. It resulted in them joining AEW in 2020.

It, however, proved a wise decision for them as the FTR currently stands for one of the top tag teams in the world with the AAA, ROH, and IGPW Tag Team Championships to their name. But it seems like one-half of the FTR, Dax Hardwood thinks it’s time for some revaluation of their AEW future.

Dax Harwood considers rethinking FTR’s next move after Cody Rhodes’ push in WWE

After Cody Rhodes switched to WWE from AEW last year, the whole world witnessed the company treat him like a big star and he will be headlining WrestleMania 39 against Roman Reigns after winning the 2023 Royal Rumble. Considering the massive recognition The American Nightmare receives these days, Hardwood admits that it hugely impacted him and his teammate Cash Wheeler.

Hardwood, who previously thought they wouldn’t get their deserved place in WWE ever, probably has to rethink considering how well WWE handled his former AEW peer. Taking a bow to his old promotion for that, in a recent interview with Haus of Wrestling podcast, he stated, ”WWE could have snatched him up and really done whatever they wanted to because he wouldn’t be able to come back to AEW. But seeing that they took him seriously, and they have allowed him to be a big star definitely had me and Cash analyzing it way more than we would have before.”

One of the closest former peers of Cody Rhodes also acknowledged the latter’s own effort behind his success. He noted, ”They’ve done a great job with him and Cody has done a great job with himself too. He’s been given the opportunities, but it’s all about what you do with the opportunities because he could have been given an opportunity and just squandered it. But he believes in himself, man.”

Admitting how proud he is of Rhodes’ success, the current FTR star further stated it has made the tag team reevaluate things and what would be their next step.

Is that indicating a possible WWE comeback? Well, WWE fans might need some closure for that.

FTR’s future after their AEW contract end

While it’s too early to predict anything, it’s also a noteworthy fact that Hardwood and Wheeler’s AEW contract will expire in April. Also, during a previous interview, the duo already told that they made a final decision for the future while choosing to stay silent about what exactly the decision is.

While Hardwood’s above-mentioned statement of reevaluation might end up with a WWE return, re-signing with Tony Khan’s promotion can’t be overlooked as a major possibility for them.

As of now, we better wait until the next month to know the FTR’s exact future destination. Do you want FTR back in WWE? Let us know in the comments.
