Dax Harwood Reveals FTR’s Plans for 2025

Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler have built a reputation as one of the most accomplished tag teams in professional wrestling over the past decade. However, 2024 hasn’t been their best year, as they weren’t able to accomplish as much as they would have liked.

While speaking on 3NT Wrestling, Dax Harwood was asked if he and Cash Wheeler had ever thought about pursuing singles titles. Harwood explained that the idea had never been a major focus for either of them. He stated that when they first started teaming, they agreed that they couldn’t be selfish and should prioritize the team over individual achievements.

Harwood added that he understood his own limitations and believed that together, he and Wheeler could become one of the greatest tag teams of all time. While Harwood did explore singles matches in 2022, which received tons of praise, he made it clear that he wouldn’t want to leave Wheeler behind.

Harwood mentioned that if an opportunity came for them to work together while also pursuing individual goals, like the relationship between Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard, he would consider it. However, for now, he expected that in 2025, they would focus on trios gold and possibly return to chasing the AEW World Tag Team Championships.

“We get that question a lot, and it’s never been at the forefront of my mind, nor his, I don’t think. I don’t want to speak for him. But I don’t think so. I realized, and I think we both realized early in our careers, we had a conversation when we first started teaming, we said if we’re gonna make this work, there has to be no selfish ambition, we can’t worry about what moves I’m gonna get in, or what moves he’s gonna get in, who’s gonna talk the most, who’s gonna be in the ring the most. Never thought about that. I understand my limitations. I can only speak for me, I can’t speak for him. But I understand my limitations.

I knew that if I had another guy who had the same limitations as me, albeit he’s a little bit better looking than I am, but he has the same limitations as me, if we could work together, because I knew how talented he was and I knew how talented I am, we could go down as the greatest tag team of all time, and that was our goal. 2022 came around, and I embarked on a ton of singles matches, and they were pretty well critically acclaimed. But I would never want to leave Cash behind and do my own thing.

If there comes an opportunity where we can be like Arn [Anderson] and Tully Blanchard, where we can still be a unit, but maybe do our own thing, then that’s something I could think about. But I would imagine, in 2025, we’ll be gunning for some trios gold, and we might get back to the AEW World Tag Team Championships eventually.”

For the time being, FTR will team up with a returning Adam Copeland to square off against The Death Riders at Fight for the Fallen on January 1st. Regardless, we will have to wait and see whether FTR will end up winning tag team gold in 2025, as fans feel they more than deserve it now.
