Cash Wheeler on FTR's AEW Contract Status: We Have an 'Almost Handshake Deal'

While they've made their on-screen debuts for All Elite Wrestling, Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood apparently aren't yet signed with the promotion.

Speaking on the Jim Cornette Experience (h/t 411 Mania's Jeffrey Harris), Wheeler said FTR is content to work with AEW without a formal deal for the time being because it expedites a matchup with The Young Bucks.

"We're negotiating still [with AEW]," Wheeler said. "We have a short-term almost handshake deal because we want to get this done finally because it's been talked about for so many years. So, we're not under any long-term obligation to anybody. So, that's a nice little caveat for ya."

WWE announced April 10 it had released Wheeler and Harwood, who wrestled as The Revival. It was only a matter of time before they showed up in another promotion, and AEW was the most logical landing spot.

Billed as FTR, the pair showed up on the May 27 edition of AEW Dynamite. They teased a possible confrontation with The Young Bucks before attacking The Butcher and The Blade.

Wheeler and Harwood gave a sit-down interview with Tony Schiavone on Wednesday.

Beyond The Young Bucks, they listed off the other tag teams in AEW, signaling they intend to stick around for a while. The interview included an encounter between FTR and The Butcher and The Blade to set up a match Wednesday on Dynamite.

Wheeler and Harwood are both listed on AEW's official roster page, so their contract appears to be a formality.
