Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood are the greatest traditional tag-team of the past decade. They're a love letter to fans who adore firing up the WWE Network to see old tapes of Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard, and they always deliver the goods regardless of which teams they're sharing the ring with.

Forbidden Door will be their latest success story.

FTR are already ROH and AAA Tag-Team Champions, so why not give them three sets of belts by sticking the IWGP Tag straps on them too? Now, here's where things get sketchy and the fella writing this contradicts himself; he said that New Japan wouldn't take the US Title of Ospreay so quickly. Well, they might have to do just that with United Empire here.

This is a "Winner Takes All" bout, so unless Tony wants to put those ROH straps on Jeff Cobb and Great O-Khan, then FTR will have to win the IWGP. Would that infuriate the pro wrestling fraternity worldwide? Probably not. Everyone loves FTR.
