Ever since leaving the WWE, FTR has grown to become one of the best tag teams in the world. Within just a few months of joining AEW, they claimed the AEW World Tag Team Titles. Since then, there has been no stopping them as they have won tag titles in all the major promotions around the world.
FTR held the ROH, NJPW, and AAA Tag Titles until recently when they dropped the ROH and AAA Tag Titles. New reports have now emerged regarding FTR’s status with AAA.
Fightful Select is now reporting that FTR is done with AAA for the time being, which is why they dropped the AAA Tag Titles on December 28. Fightful also learned that FTR informed AAA that they wanted to drop the tag team titles and finish up with them at the end of the year.
Recently, reports emerged about FTR’s current contract status and their future considering their contracts are reportedly due in Spring of next year. Dax Harwood even recently stated in an interview with Fightful that FTR is evaluating their options and might even take a year off wrestling for major wrestling companies.
