Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler Reveal What “FTR” Stands For
Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler debuted on AEW Dynamite last night. Following the night’s opening match, the Young Bucks were attacked by the Butcher and the Blade. Harwood and Wheeler then drove into the stadium and acted as if they were going to attack the Bucks before then beating down the Butcher and the Blade. The Young Bucks then extended a handshake offer to FTR but Harwood and Wheeler turned their backs on them and left.
Shortly after their segment last night, Harwood & Wheeler as well as ShopAEW posted to Twitter and revealed what “FTR” actually stands for.

The tag-team also debuted on Dynamite on the 24-year anniversary of Scott Hall invading Nitro and kickstarting the NWO angle.
Harwood and Wheeler received a Cease and Desist letter from a tag-team named the Revolt. In response, FTR’s attorneys noted that their team name is FTR and what that stands for can change based on storylines.
“Our clients do not intend and have never intended to call themselves FEAR THE REVOLT,” Harwood and Wheeler’s attorney responded to the letter. “They have at all times and in every way made it clear that their tag team name would be FTR, and that FTR can and would mean different things depending on their storyline and creative. They are not responsible for and cannot be held responsible for dirt sheets and others incorrectly attributing to them a name other than the name they have chosen, FTR.”
