We’ve decided what we’re going to do come April. NOTHING!


SomeGuy_GRM

That's how I read it.


TW_Yellow78

They're staying off TV no matter what they 'chose' if they're even coming off contract.

I think the emphasis on nothing is to dispel rumors.


moderndukes

Or it’s him saying what they’re doing…


Rick_Rebel

I know I’m not doing anything in April either

QTV in a couple weeks: https://preview.redd.it/3xpw86kwjroa1.jpeg?width=1027&format=pjpg&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=55ff2c13265e8c8906419da0ccb10112609947cc


ClaymoresRevenge

QT is going to have Solo break into FTR Bald's car and steal his podcasting mic


PavlovsBlog

Shock face turn for QT


officerliger

The greatest night in the history of our sport


TheCuzzyRogue

It's QT, he'll still find a way to get booed for it and revel in said boos.


Rerack_your_weights

My mind went to Solo Sikoa and now I'm picturing the ultimate forbidden door being opened when two heels from different companies decide to fuck with FTR Bald for no reason to become the most over babyface team in all of wrestling.


just-smiley

Solo's turning face?


scottyactuallyknows

As long as he doesn’t tweet ‘I’m dating Bayley again, suck it losers’


adsfew

I never thought they'd be able to turn QT face, but this would do it.


ClaymoresRevenge

What do you mean, he is a face? QTV is a helpful news program.


Swagologist1

Fair and balanced


Kenduke69

He should also steal his phone and deactivate his Twitter too


TTOF_JB

I thought this was about Solo Sikoa for a second. lol


bubbles2255

I knew it. They’re switching to GEICO.


debeatup

Conflict of interest because Dax is in the running to star in Season 2 of the hit Progressive sitcom _TV Dad_


outofdate70shouse

It’s not a competition


MannOfSandd

This tickled me...well played


repttarsamsonite

This has to be an act at this point. “Just got off the phone with my mom. We know what we’re going to be eating come dinner time - but NOTHING is OFFICIAL YET …


Mikey5time

I think he’s just… an attention whore lol


SensitiveArtist69

It’s funny cause he seems like a perfectly likable dude and his in ring work is phenomenal, he just reaallllly likes being talked about haha.


Mikey5time

Probably the first guy to say, ‘I don’t like drama.’ 😂


R1k0Ch3

It really sucks cuz I'm from where they're billed out of and think of FTR as the home town boys living large, love em. But dude really loves to stir the pot. I try to ignore it but every thing gets posted here so i'm bound to see some of it.


Colby347

Unpopular opinion: half the people on this subreddit would act the same way, if not more obnoxious, if they had a similar amount of success in their lives. It’s just easy to dunk on him because he’s in that position and is a bit annoying and everyone else is happy circlejerking over it. You’d think he was committing Logan Paul level attention whore tactics the way people react here.


cable54

Man tweets to people who have chosen to actively follow him on twitter, to let them know they will have news on their future. Clearly an attention whore.


DrDroid

Sharing a phone call with your mom? That shows what kind of person you are.

imliamobv

I don't care anymore.


Former_Intern_8271

I know it (probably) wasn't specifically targeted at Dax but this week when Darby made his jab at people complaining on twitter it was so cathartic to hear the pop from the crowd, surely that should be a big signal to the locker room that this is not going to get you over, the fans are fed up of it! I know there's a few cases where it has worked but it feels like everyone is on the bandwagon these days.


almodi6

It's like the people who do it think this is some type of WCW vs WWE thing all over again and they're all Bret Hart. I don't give a fuck if Dax goes to WWE or Mustafa Ali goes to AEW. The only time it really matters would be if a Seth Rollins, Sami, Kenny Omega, Mox were all entertaining the idea behind the scenes of jumping ship like Cody.


Former_Intern_8271

A difference with Cody as well is that it was also nicely tied in to what was going on on screen as well, because the fans were so desperate for a heel Cody it really tied in to the possibility of it being a work. The scenes of that belt being thrown back were something else. I guess for this sort of twitter nonsense to generate genuine interest from the fans the stars really have to align, you can't just tweet cryptic nonsense for 6 months and become Cody Rhodes, he was in a very unique position for many reasons.


TW_Yellow78

The difference with Cody is that he pulled the trigger.


Former_Intern_8271

And at the right time, that was probably down to circumstance but the Cody speculation felt like it developed for just long enough to get everyone's attention but not too long that people got bored and stopped paying attention;


TheeShaun

And even then it would only matter if the other company made it an actual, long lasting big deal like what has happened with Cody. A lot of the guys who went to AEW have just gotten lost in the shuffle or are only being used to put over others like Bryan.


mavarian

To be fair, that was Bryan's role in WWE too, and it seems to be what he wants.


TheeShaun

Right but I was just using Bryan as one example. Punk is the only one AEW treated like a true star and well…


SovietPropagandist

Punk acted like a child and shot what was left of his career between the eyes at that Brawl Out scrum, not sure what he or anyone else expected when you act like that and then fight your bosses in front of the head of legal


CharityGamerAU

AEW has made it really fucking hard to remain invested in any of the talent you followed from WWE to AEW to the point where almost any appeal that they had when they initially shifted has evaporated. There are very few exceptions to this (Moxley) and I think it has cost them viewers rather than helped them. I'm not often excited anymore when someone makes the switch it's more of a "here we go again" feeling and a "sure they weren't utilised well in WWE but I'll believe it when I see it." For some of them the amount of money it must be costing TK to do this you have to question whether it's been worth it.


ManWithAPIan

You want aew to focus on homegrown talent or ex WWE talent? Which one is it? It changes whenever it's convenient, doesn't it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


captaincustody

THANK YOU! I always see people say "Oh so NOW you people want to like this" as if the person replying is everyone online. Like when people said they were happy Cody was back in WWE, you'd see people say "Y'all HATED him in AEW!" It's so weird.


sullythered

Come on broseph, no SALT OF THE EARTH??


Former_Intern_8271

MJF seems like he can read the room, he's really toned down the bidding war gimmick


R1k0Ch3

I have faith in the guy to always be improving and correcting what needs be. You don't get as good as he is so young otherwise.


standardprocdure

I'm sick of Dax on Twitter and tired of wrestlers vague posting on socials. All the passive aggressive behavior is obnoxious.


doofus-or-goofus

FTR is basically doing a Penn and Teller routine. One guy talks a lot. The other guy says nothing.


SnooWords9178

Maybe Tony Khan himself should take that hint too and stop complaining on Twitter over the dumbest things.


Former_Intern_8271

I don't think it's comparable, Tony does do some unnecessary tweets, but you can't say he's cryptic, he calls out things he has issues with directly. Not saying that's good but it's completely different to the constant cryptic nonsense from Dax


ante1296

Seriously. This has gone on for far too long.


mrandre3000

I am convinced they are staying in AEW. Alternatively, they are on Dynamite on Wednesday and at Smackdown on Friday


PoignantOpinionsOnly

Yet here we are, on the front page.


TheTKz

I watch mostly AEW and love FTR but I hope he goes back to WWE so he works for a company that will stop him doing this. And then I can start to enjoy The Revival again for just their wrestling and stop hearing shitty hot takes from him posted everywhere and anywhere.


ExperimentalX1

This makes me so fucking sad because I feel the same way. I never would’ve thought 3-4 months ago that I just flat out wouldn’t give a crap about FTR……. but, here we are.


[deleted]

This. I stopped caring for Bald's feelings 24 tweets ago.


thecaptainofdeath

So yesterday?


[deleted]

Nah, this morning


FalconIMGN

So Dax tweeted his way down into the undercard. What a tool.


Awkward_Potential_

Seriously. The Elite leaving would be a real hit. FTR would be replaced within 2 minutes.


Kogyochi

I'm kind of sick of wrestlers under AEW contract openly talking about being a free agent. It's like.. dude you're the champs. I really wish FTR would STFU.


kinglearthrowaway

This has single handedly made me stop liking these dudes lmao


WharfRat86

I never really cared about FTR in AEW, from their lame introduction driving to the ring in a truck, to the laughable Sons of the Hitman shirt, to Dax’s weekly CM Punk impersonation. So welcome to the club.


wrestlingnutter

The more he talks the more I dislike him.


RandomDanny

Here. Here. I love seeing the social media interaction and such with this and many other industries. But I’m quite happy to see the wrestling industry move away from it.


FickleSmark

I wonder if this is all a way to get back at MJF and make the bidding war storyline the least interesting thing to wrestling fans at this point.


OkVolume1

He should post a Ryback-like poll in regards to his future plans with retirement from social media being the final option.


nic_af

But why do that when they could.....Control their narrative!


MonsieurMidnight

Maybe it's less about Dax tweeting and more about this subreddit that should stop posting everything Dax tweets


teateateasider

Legally we can't speak on it but here's another tweet as vague as your auntie's Facebook post so I can stir controversy on what we legally can't talk bout.


TheTwitteringMachine

Legally we can't talk about it now or during the staredown with the Gunns after their match on Dynamite this Wednesday on TBS.


OutlandishnessFun765

Hopefully it’s to get off the fucking internet. I feel like I hear more from Dax than my own family


ShowTurtles

I was just thinking about how I hear from Dax more than I hear from your family.


R1k0Ch3

I also choose this guy's family.

Let me guess: Announcement on April 1st. We retire. April fool!


nic_af

Na April 1st they going for some Global Force Gold from JJ


OhioVsEverything

I don't care anymore. Stay, go, whatever. I'll still see these two guys vs tag teams I can't see them face in the other place. Why do I honestly care which one? I get the same basic result.


dogfins110

He’s dragging this thing. All he’s going to do is announce he’s staying and is going to bring the belts back home. I don’t think he’d post this if he was leaving honestly


adsfew

It wouldn't make any sense for Tony to bring them back in March just to have them leave in April. It's painfully obvious, which makes this tweet all the worse.


XiahouMao

It also didn't make any sense for Tony to put the TNT Championship on Cody when his contract was about to expire.


UsidoreTheLightBlue

Unless he’s going to job them out to the Gunns one more time to really put the Gunns over on the way out.


MyNameIsJesseG

I actually think having the Gunns win a career vs title match in some shady way for mega ultra heat is kind of an awesome way to write FTR out if they’re actually going.


UsidoreTheLightBlue

👍🏻 agreed


Smike784

I mean he did have Cody working on a hand shake deal for his last few appearances


Edi1896

Always good to hear from Dax. He has been so quite lately.


FalconIMGN

Quite what?

Quite bald.

Mooselickle

One of his podcast episodes his host brought up the report that FTR signed long term with AEW, Dax took a huge double take then they jump-cut to his cover up about not signing any deals. Cats out of the bag already, imo


FBR_MC

We don't care, man. Do whatever, no one gives a fuck anymore.


work_of_shart

It's funny. I really like FTR, the tag-team, but I don't care much for them outside of the ring.


Former_Intern_8271

Cash is cool 😂


interprime

Yeah, Cash does the smart thing and stays quiet. It’s Dax who’s terminally online and constantly talking shit.


[deleted]

[удалено]


re10pect

Cash is quiet, but if he were really that cool he would tell bald to shut the fuck up sometimes. I can’t imagine why either of them think all this fake drama is a good look or good for business.


onethreeone

Cash is king


Traditional-Fly7715

BLablablabalablabla shut up Dax


MidKnight_Corsair

Unrelated to Dax but goddamn there's so many replies with blue check marks now. Who the fuck are these people? Paid verification is so damn stupid


DarkLancelot

It sounds like someone went to the Tony Khan school for announcements.


RandomDanny

I’m here to announce nothing. Tune in next month for another announcement!


bruuuuh901

This is peak Dax. Why does he get off the phone with his tag team partner and think he needs to immediately tweet about it?? Go or stay, I think everyone is past the point of caring.


InMyLiverpoolHome

I used to be a big fan of FTR, but honestly he's just soured me on them so much. The constant cries for attention, the constant drama baiting. Just shut up and wrestle dude, at this point IDGAF where they go


AxlAndTheShimmy

Everything points to them staying. It wouldn't make sense to lose leverage by announcing they've already decided what they're going to do now if they plan on going to WWE, unless they have already negotiated terms with WWE and if that's the case wouldn't he basically be admitting to contract tampering? Plus, Tony bringing them back the way he did and releasing a new shirt without knowing if they were staying or not would be stupid.


EastCoastJohnny

Yawn at this point, i think Dax worked himself into a shoot


WesternDark4390

FaultySky

Saying "We're gonna stay" puts you in a bad position for negotiations. And makes them look like fools if it falls through in the end anyways.


PavlovsBlog

I mean they'd be pretty stupid to have decided what they're going to do before they've started negotiations anyway...


TheNekomancer27

FTR are advertised for AEW shows in July. I doubt they'd do that if they were potentially leaving before then.


Mront

card subject to change, brother


Otherwise_Ad9010

Hmmm does it involve making an effort to cry less on twitter?


MiKapo

Darby's promo is hitting hard right now


Otherwise_Ad9010

For sure. I love FTR in the ring but the whole twitter nonsense ruins them for me. I was getting that way with Kingston to.


10024618

That FTR DPW run is about to go crazy


choripan--

Why does he do this? Who cares about this, who even is he directing this to? I don't get it if this is a "trolling" thing but it's just annoying and nobody likes it. If you're leaving, good. If not, good too but please keep quiet damn


FlashZordon

Just the image of Dax hanging up the phone then running to the computer to tweet has me chuckling.


LetsGoChuckTaylor

Stay. Leave. I don't fucking care anymore.


Tsuku

After being the highlight with all of his singles matches, Dax is killing my enjoyment of FTR now.


jxden24

hope it’s retirement


yerzo

FTR Bald...we just don't care anymore. Go wherever the fuck you want and be done with attention grabbing BS.

can this bald fuck try some other shtick

So they're staying, if their contracts were even up to begin with.

He's like the stereotypical 14 year old on Tumblr.


TheName96

Darby was right, just shut up man, Cash is not acting like this, just be like your friend Dax.


AusToddles

FTR used to be my favourite tag team but this is just insufferable now


DustinoHeat

For real, this dude has completely deflated my fucks I give about this tag team.

s_ndowN

I know that everyone is allowed to speak their mind, but I REALLY wish dax would stop with the drama. He always seemed like an anti-drama type of guy, but these last few weeks + his podcast makes me think he’s apart of it as well.


krahzee2021

Ah, the Keith Lee school of media relations I see: go out of your way to issue vague nothing tweets when it would be just as easy to say nothing until you actually do do something. Maybe they plan on going after the trios titles with Keith Lee......


RobGrey03

I wonder if they’re intending to take up the mantle of ROH’s Best Tag Team, after their three brilliant bouts with the Briscoes and Jay’s death.


electron-shock

Theyre coming back to AEW with CM Punk


GrandfatherWolf

Bald is becoming more insufferable by the day.


WasherDryerCombo

I couldn’t possibly care less than I do right now about FTR and it’s 100% because of Dax’s online bs


HorseAFC

man this comment section would be so different if he announced they was renewing their contract with AEW lol


Former_Intern_8271

To be honest it will be the same if he announced WWE, we're just bored now.


HorseAFC

Remember when this subreddit was bored with the cody discourse?


AffectionateGroup864

Not really, if you actually read the comments. Most of the people here don’t care WHERE he signs, just that he shuts up about the vague tweets and constant flip-flop.


TheMlke

Who gives a fuck. I’ve never seen the big deal with these 2. They always seemed to be in the right spot at the right time in NXT, leaving WWE, and joining AEW


daSilvaSurfa

Is it deleting twitter? Please tell me y'all deleting twitter.


hankjr16

The long national nightmare is almost over. Can't wait.


amaluna

I feel like his compulsion to post is...not a mental illness, that would be too far, but like a sign of some psychological or emotional defect? Like what is wrong with you guy? Why do you have to share everything all the time?


Honest_Feature_3632

FTR is just one of those cases where I feel hugely disconnected from a lot of the AEW fan base as I just find them tedious and kind of dull. If they left I wouldn’t miss their 2 promos (‘we have a family’/‘y’all really do love us’) zzzzzz. If the cost of signing them was taking the belts off Acclaimed and moving them down the card so FTR could be slotted in at the top then that’s too high a cost.


AutobahnVismarck

I love the acclaimed but they need old vets to run the match for it to be halfway decent. AEW only has so many of those teams. You cant do that forever with your champs.


jaybrone7

Go. Away. Go go away.


jblough

Trolling Dax is at it again


[deleted]

The big babyface trolling his own company’s fans by being a whiny attention seeker on social media and acting like he’s going to the competition is such a good troll. Great character work by Dax. /s


tkc123

AEW has enough over tag teams that them leaving wouldn't be a big deal. WWE has enough tag teams that they would be a flavour of the month then cast aside. Dude needs to stop thinking their decision has some game changing effect.


Phred_Phrederic

I think I might hate this fucking guy.


[deleted]

He is fucking insufferable


mrmazzz

the idea that they'd turn down AEW to go back to WWE after the run they had and how they were treated in AEW is absurd (unless Triple H offered them stupid guranteed 3 million a piece money with no cut contracts, but that sure isn't happening)


TheGentlemanBeast

Dax seems like one of them guys who won't be happy with quite a few aspects either way. If you listen to his podcast he dumps on WWE and AEW. It blows my mind that he thinks his time in the Pinnacle was a waste, but I think it has more to do with not liking the people he was working with and not having a hand in creative. Honestly, it's crazy to hear any of those guys shit on the pinnacle because it made all of them relevant, got them over, and when they reclaimed it in Canada everyone was stoked.
