8 AEW Teases Hidden In Plain Sight

3. Dax Harwood's Four Finger Salute

Of all of the active AEW roster, nobody screams Horsemen more than the FTR pairing of Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler.

The former Revival have long been compared to Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard - one of the greatest tag teams in the history of the business - and that comparison has followed FTR through to AEW. And to be fair to Dax and Cash, they've never shied away from these comparisons. Instead, they've embraced them.

One tease that many might have missed from Harwood, though, is that he had a spell of mimicking the Four Horsemen's 'symbol of excellence' hand gesture just seconds before was about to pin some poor fool and pick up a victory.

At times, this was Dax putting the Horsemen sign over his face, while other times he'd rub those four fingers across his chest. All the while, this was only dropping suggestive thoughts of somehow a Horsemen-esque stable forming amongst the All Elite Wrestling roster.

Harwood would even further tease something by wishing himself and Cody Rhodes a happy birthday while showcasing shots of them both making variations of the famed four fingers of the Four Horsemen.
