FTR are entering a key stage in their contracts as they move into the option year of the four‑year deal they signed in 2023.
BodySlam+ is reporting that Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler believe their consistent work and value should place them among AEW’s highest‑paid acts. The report states,
“Sources close to the situation describe FTR as believing their value and consistency over the last several years should place them among AEW’s top-tier acts financially. There has also reportedly been at least preliminary interest from WWE communicated through mutual contacts as the situation continues to draw attention internally. At present, there is no indication a departure is imminent, though FTR’s future beyond the current option year remains unclear.”
This situation comes just after FTR lost the AEW World Tag Team Titles to Adam Copeland and Christian Cage in a violent ‘I Quit’ match at Double Or Nothing 2026.
