Current AEW star Dax Harwood said on his most recent podcast that the return of Vince McMahon “makes things a little questionable” for him.
Harwood talked about a negative interaction he and Cash Wheeler had with McMahon from Clash of the Champions back in 2019 and how it could impact what he decides to do in the future after his AEW contract expires this April.
“He goes to New Day and says, ‘Hey, great job, guys, thank you, I appreciate that.’ They walk off, he leaves me and Cash there and that’s when he says, ‘Everyone tells me that you guys are the next great tag team, everyone tells me you’re the next Arn and Tully. Well, that’s your problem, you are the next Arn and Tully, you’re just great wrestlers, that’s all.’ And he walks off and like, this son of a b—h thinks that he just hurt my feelings by saying that but he didn’t, he made my dreams come true by telling me that we’re the next Arn and Tully, that we’re just a great tag team, we’re just great wrestlers. He just didn’t like us, he wasn’t enamored with us.”
Harwood also said what Vince what McMahon being back “at the helm” in WWE means for his future in the professional wrestling business.
“We were so proud of that moment and he decided to take a s–t on us in that moment. That’s the kind of thing, as a human being, I will never forget how you try to make people feel. The fans were with us so, obviously, we didn’t hurt your business. We went out there, put our life on the line for you, for your company and coming to the back with as much enorphins running through our body and you decide to say that to us? That’s one of the things I can’t ever forget and we talk about what I’m going to do in the future and now that I think about that and with him back at the helm makes things a little questionable for me.”
FTR was recently granted time to heal and decide what their next move will be after their contracts expire.
