During a recent appearance on the “Battleground” podcast, FTR’s Dax Harwood revealed that one of the main reasons he and Cash Wheeler (FTR/The Revival) left WWE was because they wanted to go after New Japan Pro Wrestling’s IWGP Tag Team Championships. Obviously, WWE wouldn’t allow them to do that. He said,
“Before AEW became a thing, our idea was to finish up WWE, go to Japan, and we wanted to win the IWGP Tag Team Championships. To be able to Internationally do what we’ve done here in the states is awesome too. When we were making our decision on taking our career into our own hands a few years ago and leaving, like, New Japan was one of the reasons. We wanted to go and wrestle in New Japan. We wanted to win these titles.“
