Dax Harwood had everyone teary-eyed tonight.
During tonight’s AEW Dynamite, Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler, FTR, came out to the ring to talk with Tony Shivone about their upcoming ROH Tag Team Title bout against The Briscoes at ROH Death Before Dishonor. They promoted the match, hyped the Pay-Per-View, but Dax also had a very nice message when he talked about a five year old girl back home with a hole in her heart, later revealing that the girl was his daughter.
So, there was this little five year old girl back home and uh, her parents took her to this routine checkup to the doctor and uh, he put her — he was listening to her chest and listening to her back and he heard something weird, it was a irregular heartbeat and the doctor said “hey, don’t worry parents, let’s just go to the cardiologist and get some X-rays done let’s get a CT Scan, an MRI and see what’s going on.” So, they went to the cardiologist and they found out this little five year old had a hole in the bottom of her heart and uh, the doctor told the parents “If this little girl worked hard, she fought hard, she could overcome this and that hole would close up on its own but if not, they would have to do open heart surgery.” Which you know, is a big risk for a five year old. So, fast forward three years later this little girl, she goes back to the same cardiologist and he does the X-Rays, he does the MRI’s and he looks and the hole is completely closed. This little girl worked her ass off, she fought her ass off to make sure she was healthy, and that little girl, the eight year old girl is my daughter. And if that little eight year old girl will fight that hard for something that’s not promised to her, well daddy’s gotta do the same thing. Saturday night, Saturday night, daddy’s gotta fight that hard to bring home the Ring Of Honor World Tag Team Championships and bring home a legacy she can be proud of!

That’s one hell of a way to promote a title match. The tear-jerking promo had the crowd all on their feet and we’re so happy to hear his daughter is okay.
