Over the last few years there have been a number of teams who have tried to assert their dominance in All Elite Wrestling, and FTR have been working a the top of the tag team division for some time. FTR have not wrestled since they dropped the AEW Tag Team Championship to Cope & Christian at the Double or Nothing pay-per-view, and it appears that they have no plans to rush back to the ring.
Recently Dax Harwood issued a statement announcing that for the first time in 12 years he and Cash Wheeler will be stepping away from wrestling to focus on their families. Harwood noted that he’s not sure when they will be returning, or how much longer they have. However, he did confirm that they will be working their scheduled match with The Good Brothers on 8/22, and theyr match with The Young Guns on 8/29.
Dax Harwood posted the following on social media:
“Since the summer of 2014, The Revival, FTR, Dawson & Dash, Dax & Cash, whatever you want to call us, we’ve had the pedal to the floor. Aside from my bicep tear in 2017, we’ve taken no time away from the job we’ve dreamed of having. Physically & mentally, we both became exhausted.
.
We were two of the very few talents that traveled and worked on both Collision & Dynamite. I’ve fought through 3 hematomas on my lower back, another bicep tear I decided not to have surgery on, labrum tear from my groin to my hip, a shoulder that needs replacement, and probably a laundry list of other things I’m too afraid to get checked out haha.
.
For the first time in 12 years, we’ve decided to step away and take some time for ourselves & for our families. I’m not sure when we’ll be back, what we’re going to do, how much longer we have, or if we even need to prove anything at all anymore.
.
However, we will see some of you on August 22nd for @appalachianmountainwrestling as we take on The Good Brothers in Corbin, KY & the following week August 29th for the @revprouk Undisputed British Tag Team Championship as we take on The Young Guns in Wembley Arena.
.
Until then, enjoy my Hawaii family vacation pictures.

Top Guys, out.”
