EXCLUSIVE: Top AEW Performers in Option Year

A major contract story is quietly developing within All Elite Wrestling involving two of the company’s top performers, sources tell us.

According to sources familiar with the situation, Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler of FTR signed a four-year agreement with AEW in 2023.

We’re told the team are now approaching the option year of that agreement, placing renewed focus on FTR’s long-term future within the company.

Sources close to the situation describe FTR as believing their value and consistency over the last several years should place them among AEW’s top-tier acts financially.

There has also reportedly been at least preliminary interest from WWE communicated through mutual contacts as the situation continues to draw attention internally.

At present, there is no indication a departure is imminent, though FTR’s future beyond the current option year remains unclear.
