FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) confirmed during an appearance on The Jim Cornette Experience podcast this week that the duo are currently working with All Elite Wrestling on a “handshake deal”.

“That’s the thing. So, we’re negotiating still. We have a short-term almost handshake deal because they want to get this thing done because it’s been talked about for so many years. So we’re not under any long-term obligation to anybody…We’ve been very transparent with them that we’re willing to work with these guys, but there’s a very real possibility that it’s not going to be pretty and we’re not going to respond well to some of the things they said before. He knows this…I think Tony is very aware of those things you said, I think he knows and I think he welcomes it. He seems very excited about the possibility that things could get real ugly real quick and if he’s willing to do these deals that he’s kind of put in place right now, to me that’s the green light to do whatever we need to do.”
