Overview

  • Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler are approaching the option year on four-year AEW deals they signed in 2023, a contractual milestone that often triggers renewal talks.
  • Sources close to the situation report FTR are pressing to be placed in AEW’s top-tier pay bracket based on their track record and consistency.
  • Reporting attributes at least preliminary interest from WWE through mutual contacts but describes those contacts as early and unconfirmed.
  • There are no clear signs at this time that FTR will leave AEW, though their recent loss of the AEW Tag Team Titles to Adam Copeland and Christian Cage has reshaped their current storyline position.
  • The pair’s past WWE tenure as the Revival and their three AEW tag title reigns give them market value that could influence negotiations and prompt offers from competing promoters.
