Dax Harwood of FTR has raised the stakes for his team’s upcoming match at the AEW All Out pay-per-view, declaring that he will retire from in-ring competition if he and his partner, Cash Wheeler, lose. The statement adds a layer of intense, personal drama to what was already a highly anticipated grudge match against the legendary team of Adam Copeland and Christian Cage. The feud between the two teams has been building for months, ever since FTR brutally attacked Copeland at the Dynasty pay-per-view, writing him off of television. The upcoming bout at All Out on Saturday, September 20, is set to be the culmination of their rivalry.
In a recent exchange with a fan on social media, Harwood was asked what his plan would be if FTR were to lose their match against Copeland and Cage in Toronto. His response was short, direct, and shocking.
“I’ll retire from being an in-ring competitor”
The vow puts immense pressure on FTR to win the match, as a loss would not only be a defeat at the hands of their bitter rivals but could also mark the end of the in-ring career of one of the most respected and decorated tag team wrestlers of his generation. The match is now not just about revenge, but potentially about the very future of FTR as a team.
