FTR took a break from wrestling last year in what has been their most intense year. The tag team received the award for the greatest tag team and the greatest feud of 2022 in the observer newsletter awards.
On the latest “FTR” podcast, Dax Harwood discussed the rise and fall of The Pinnacle in AEW with Matt Koon. Despite receiving awards for their performance last year, Harwood believes the company is not appreciative of FTR. When the awards were announced, AEW congratulated everyone on their awards except FTR. AEW even congratulated The Briscoes, who received the award for greatest feud of 2022, but they left out FTR’s name. When asked whether it rustled a few feathers, Harwood had this to say.
“Yeah, I did feel slighted. I can’t lie. I mean, yeah, it was just because we worked so hard last year. We did, with what I feel was not the best content, not the best effort, to maximize our momentum from last year. I feel we did our best to make everything work, and for them not to acknowledge us, really did hurt me a bit.”

We will have to wait and see if AEW bring back FTR to their TV product anytime soon.
