FTR has reached some impressive heights in recent months, but they still have plenty of goals in mind.
Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood are the reigning tag team champions in Ring of Honor and AAA. They also captured the IWGP Tag Team Championship at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door.
Speaking with “Doc” Chris Mueller of Bleacher Report, the duo discussed their objectives, with Wheeler emphasizing his interest in wrestling in Japan and Mexico so he can defend the NJPW and AAA titles in their respective countries. He also named The Motor City Machine Guns and The Good Brothers as opponents that remain on his list.
“I still want to wrestle in Japan,” Wheeler said. “I still want to wrestle in the Tokyo Dome I want to defend the IWGP titles there. I want to defend the AAA titles in Mexico. So that’s definitely on my list. I would like to go back to the UK. This time, I think it’d be a lot different. I had a lot of fun there every time we went previously.
“There are still teams we want to work with that we haven’t gotten a chance to and the top of that list for me is The Motor City Machine Guns. I want to wrestle The Good Brothers in Japan because we wrestled them once in 2019, I want to say in Japan, and was one of my favorite matches ever, and the footage doesn’t exist. There’s still a lot I want to accomplish.”
Likewise, Harwood wants to elevate the gold that they hold. He also aims to help rebuild ROH and regain the tag titles in AEW.
“I want to be recognized as a great IWGP tag team champion,” Harwood said. “That’s something me and Cash talked about. We wanted to go to Japan and win [the titles] because they’re so prestigious. I have a couple of my immediate goals. One is to be great IWGP tag team champions and defend [the titles] against as many guys as we possibly can.
“Ring of Honor has such a rich history too. I want to help rebuild, remodel, bring in some of the older Ring of Honor guys, bring in new guys who are hungry and want to shock the business, and have some of the staple guys to make it a viable promotion.
Of course, FTR also has a second reign with the AEW World Tag Team Championship in their sights.
“And then lastly, another immediate goal is to become the AEW world tag team champions again,” said Harwood. “Our first tag title reign wasn’t anything to write home about. We really were the shortest reigning champions in the history of the company and I think having a great title reigns will cement us as, this makes me feel weird in being this egocentric, but the top tag team of all time.”
Harwood and Wheeler will defend the ROH World Tag Team Championship against The Briscoes a ROH Death Before Dishonor.
