1. FTR Hasn’t Signed An Official Contract With AEW
While speaking on Jim Cornette’s podcast, FTR (fka The Revival) revealed that they haven’t signed any contract with AEW. They just have a ‘handshake deal’ with the company.
Cash Wheeler said:
“We have a short-term, almost handshake deal, because they want to get this match done since it’s been talked about for so many years. We’re not under any long-term obligation to anybody.”
Dax Harwood added:
“Tony [Khan] has been great to us. He’s got full trust in us, which is probably why he’s allowing us to appear on a handshake deal. He’s a huge fan of the wrestling business, more important to us and our pocketbooks, he’s a fan of ours because he loved the Mid-South stuff.
He really believes we’re guys that can get over. During the pandemic, he wants us to get the match with the Bucks and wants to be the guy to get that match. We’re not against signing with Tony but there are so many guys we want to test our skills against. I don’t think he’d be too happy with us if we had signed a contract and then came on your show.”
Cash Wheeler ended by saying:
“[Tony Khan] seems excited about the possibility that things can get ugly.”
