After a whirwind run of championship reigns, FTR is officially taking some time off.
The duo no longer have any title reigns going on, and in a recent episode of the FTR podcast, Dax Harwood said the group is taking some well-deserved time off.
“I also have the blessing of Tony Khan to talk about this and make a statement about this,” Dax said. “Tony has been nothing but top-notch to me and Dan [Dax] since day one. There are things that we haven’t agreed on, as any boss and any employee, even any friend. There are times that I felt the boat was missed on opportunities for us. There were times that I was super happy with everything we were doing, but there has come a time where we are on the tail end of our career. Right now, at this point in our career, is the most important time in our career. I mean that monetarily, creatively, and personally. It is the most important time in our career. With that being said, we have asked and been granted the next few months off of television so we can sit back, reflect, decide, let out bodies heal, and figure out what we’re going to do for the next few years. Whatever we decide to do next will be the absolute last thing we do as far as wrestling.”
Recently, the duo have lost their ROH Tag Team Championships to The Briscoes at ROH Final Battle, losing the AAA Tag Team Championships to Dralistico & Dragon Lee at AAA Noche De Campeones, and losing the IWGP Tag Team Championship to Bishamon (Hiroki Goto & Yoshi-Nashi) at NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 17.
Harwood did note that by April (which is coincidentally when their All Elite Wrestling contracts are believed to be expired), the group should have a pretty clear idea of what they want to do. Whatever they choose, Dax said, the duo just want to be respected, and continue building their legacy.
“By April, we will have an answer,” said Harwood. “I have to take my health, my family, my creativity, and I have to take my personal life all in consideration about what we’re going to do next. I know what I want to do, but whatever we do, I just want to be respected. I feel we have done something so special in 2022 and most of that is in part to the fans. We deserve to continue to build on our legacy for ourselves, but also we owe it to the fans to build on that legacy because they made us this past year. I’m not sure exactly how long we’ll be away. It may be all the way until the end of our contract. Our contract is up in April.”
