FTR Comments on Their Removal from AEW Fight Forever Being a “Non-Issue”

As noted before, AEW’s upcoming AEW Fight Forever video game is currently not expected to include FTR’s Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood. Both Wheeler and Harwood had been planned at one point to be included in the game’s playable roster but were pulled from it this past Spring.

GiveMe Sport held a recent interview with Wheeler and Harwood. One of the topics discussed included Wheeler’s thoughts on their reaction after learning their playable characters were removed from the game.

“For us, the only real issue was we were kind of blindsided by it. We found out not how you would expect,” Wheeler said. “When you find out something like that, something major, you’ve been taken out of a video game, your mind automatically assumes the worst. So, for us it was like, is this something we need to worry about? Should we read between the lines here? Were we not told for a reason? And now that we are aware, and now that we are out, what is that reason? Is it something we should worry about? We got an answer, it made a lot of sense, a very logical answer. We said, ‘oh, okay cool’ as long as we don’t have to worry about it, non-issue and that’s what it was.”

FTR also stated that they were never informed of the exact reason for their removal from the game.

Wheeler – “I don’t know why it just now became a headline but we’ve known about it for a while. We got answers on it awhile ago and for us, it’s not even an issue or thought about.”
Harwood – “We heard about this, I want to say maybe March. It was before the Briscoes match. We text Tony [Khan], talk to him, we text legal, or excuse me legal texted us and we talked with them for a bit. We got our answer and it was a non-issue. Like Cash said, we just wanted to make sure we weren’t doing something wrong.”
Wheeler – “If it helps kind of settle things, thank you for caring about us but please don’t be upset for us. It’s not an issue and there’ll be a chance to use us anyway, so thank you.”

Colt Cabana Comments on Hoping for Title Shot Opportunity Over Gamescom 2022 Win Streak

During this past week’s Gamescom 2022 convention in Cologne, Germany, AEW held several special matches for those in attendance as part of their festivities for AEW Fight Forever.

Among those who wrestled at the convention included Colt Cabana, who won all three of his matches. Following the convention, Cabana stated on Twitter that he is currently hopeful of being in line for a potential shot at the All-Atlantic Championship due to his wins taking place in an international setting and his current win streak in AEW.

The trip to @gamescom was a complete success!

I went 3-0 in an @AEW ring!
Those are great stats for Int’l waters…

Hopefully a shot at @BASTARDPAC’s belt is in my future on some Int’l soil…pic.twitter.com/c8mgxdSrsD
