FTR responded to the reports from Sunday about being upset that they have been removed from the upcoming AEW: Fight Forever video game. The tag team said that they aren’t upset and don’t blame anyone.
The tag team spoke with GiveMe Sport and clarified that they have been told why they were removed.
“For us, the only real issue was we were kind of blindsided by it. We found out not how you would expect,” Wheeler said. “When you find out something like that, something major, you’ve been taken out of a video game, your mind automatically assumes the worst. So, for us it was like, is this something we need to worry about? Should we read between the lines here? Were we not told for a reason? And now that we are aware, and now that we are out, what is that reason? Is it something we should worry about? We got an answer, it made a lot of sense, a very logical answer. We said, ‘oh, okay cool’ as long as we don’t have to worry about it, non-issue and that’s what it was.”
In the interview, Cash Wheeler did not say why they were removed from the video game, but further said they have known about this for several months: “I don’t know why it just now became a headline but we’ve known about it for a while. We got answers on it awhile ago and for us, it’s not even an issue or thought about.”
Dax Hardwood noted they did had a conversation with AEW legal about it: “We text Tony [Khan], talk to him, we text legal, or excuse me legal texted us and we talked with them for a bit. We got our answer and it was a non-issue. Like Cash said, we just wanted to make sure we weren’t doing something wrong.”
Wheeler told fans not to be upset about their removal from the game, but also said there might be a chance FTR can still be used in the game. Wheeler did thank the fans and told them not be upset, and that he doesn’t know why this became a headline.
