10 AEW Wrestlers Lost In The Shuffle After All Out 2021
6. FTR
The Pinnacle could be lumped in as one here if they weren't headed up by such a can't-miss prospect in MJF.
Despite an All Out loss to Chris Jericho, the prodigious 25-year-old will go again and most likely go even better than before. Wardlow will stand alongside him until he has his own incendiary breakaway, and Shawn Spears seems more than willing to bump around for Friedman's babyface foes in a rather quietly important role.
But where to Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood fit into all of this?
Since losing the AEW Tag Team Championships a year ago, FTR have struggled to make a consistent impact when it's mattered most. Often merely very good rather than great, the pair that pride themselves on simply doing all of this better than anybody else haven't been able to back it up. Sometimes they haven't even had the chance to try.
The Pinnacle were marginalised by The Inner Circle within weeks of formation, and the Blood & Guts/Stadium Stampede brawls will be remembered for weak finishes and middling action rather than the cauldron of hatred the feud promised. That same malaise even extended to two television matches between FTR and Proud & Powerful. Cash Wheeler's arm injury was memorable for all the wrong reasons, but perhaps it's time to parlay that horrific accident into something new for the two separate from their failing stable.
