FTR Says Buildup For AEW Full Gear Match Against Young Bucks Was Not What They Expected

Since late 2018, the Young Bucks and FTR have been wanting to face each other inside the ring after the two teams teased it on Twitter. FTR were known as the Revival in WWE at that time and they promised they would make it happen one day and they did.

The two are going to compete at AEW Full Gear where FTR will be defending their AEW World Tag Team Titles against The Young Bucks.

Dax Harwood spoke to Wrestle Talk, where he was asked regarding the buildup for their AEW Full Gear match. He revealed that it was not what they were expecting whatsoever. He also emphasized the fact that FTR’s mission in pro wrestling to show how important tag team wrestling can be.

“For so long, professional wrestling has kind of bastardized tag team wrestling and it’s been put on the backburner,” said Harwood. “We’re hoping that this isn’t the pinnacle of tag team wrestling. We hope it is the beginning of the build for tag team wrestling to show how important tag team wrestling is, to show what an integral part of tag team wrestling this can be.

To get to your question, the build hasn’t been exactly what I hope it would be, and maybe we won’t main event Full Gear, but we are going to guaran-Goddamn-tee that no one on that show can follow us after that and there’s nothing left standing,” said Wheeler. “Those fans are going to be so spent and people watching at home are going to be so exhausted that we are going to be on our last legs so that people know, without a shadow of doubt, that it was the best tag team match they are ever going to see.”

The Young Bucks will never challenge for the titles against should they lose against FTR.
