Has Dax Harwood just dropped the biggest clue yet about what's up next for FTR?
The former NXT, WWE, ROH, IWG and AAA Tag Team Champion tweeted-then-deleted a picture of a bottle of tequila in his home office with WWE documentation just creeping into shot. The tequila bottle was placed in such a way that it obscured his Raw and SmackDown championship belts, as if to draw a dividing line between the paperwork and non-WWE gold.

In typical wrestler-on-social-meda fashion, the tweet will mean nothing until potentially meaning everything. Speculation has been rife on the future of the duo for the last several months, with Harwood recently commented that the pair's contracts are up in April. A move back to WWE was thought eminently possible after Triple H took the reins following Vince McMahon resigning in disgrace in July 2022, but Harwood himself noted that McMahon's return has raised personal doubts about a possible return.
FTR last wrestled on January 4th, dropping their IWGP Tag Team Titles to Bishamon at Wrestle Kingdom 17. That came just days removed from them losing the Triple A gold to Hermanos Lee at AAA Gira Aniversario XXX, which followed on from Dax and Cash dropping the Ring Of Honor Tag Team Titles to The Briscoes in an instantly iconic dog collar match at ROH Final Battle.
