AEW Full Gear 2021: 10 Nightmares That Could Come True

7. FTR Fool The Lucha Bros Again

Surely not.

Sadly, The Lucha Bros have occasionally come across as complete idiots in this feud with FTR. Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood tricked them once by dressing up as a mystery tag-team, which was fine, but then Penta got fooled by some dudes in masks who didn't even look like FTR.

Making your babyface champs look thick is an...interesting strategy from AEW. If it happens again at Full Gear, then the Luchas could lose all credibility with the audience. Nobody wants that to happen, so they shouldn't fall for any gags here. Again, they're the bloody champions and need some dignity!

Imagine what Penta and Rey Fenix would look like if FTR pulled a fast one in Minneapolis. It'd be hard to sympathise with faces who keep on falling for basic heel tricks; these aren't even new tricks. The Lucha Bros obviously didn't watch Edge and Christian going under hoods at No Mercy 2000.
