AEW star Dax Harwood has revealed the reason for FTR’s ongoing absence from weekly television.
Harwood and Cash Wheeler lost the AEW World Tag Team Championship to Christian Cage and Adam Copeland in a brutal “I Quit” match at last month’s Double or Nothing pay-per-view. The FTR duo has not appeared on television since then.
Earlier today, Dax Harwood took to Instagram to share pictures of his family vacation in Hawaii and wrote a detailed note behind FTR’s absence. Harwood revealed that he and Wheeler are physically and mentally exhausted after having taken just one break in the past decade.
Dax noted that he has worked through several injuries, but he and his teammate have now decided to step away to spend time with their families. While Harwood didn’t shed light on when FTR would return to AEW TV, he shared the dates of the tag team’s return to in-ring competition on the independent circuit.
Here’s what Dax Harwood wrote:
“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.”
