AEW star and one-half of FTR, Dax Harwood, recently appeared in The Sessions with Renée Paquette and would delve into he and Dax Harwood’s relationship with WWE Hall of Famer Edge. Dax would recall the time Edge called him and Cash Wheeler to help get him ring-ready while he was still attempting to see if an in-ring comeback was possible.
“We’ve been friends with Adam [Edge] for a very long time but he called both of us and he said ‘there’s not many people in wrestling that I trust but I’d love for you guys to come to Dr. Tom’s and work around with me,” Cash recalled. “I know you guys won’t take it easy on me and I really need to see if I’m actually gonna be able to do this.’ So, it was obviously an honor because as much of a friend that he is to is, I always tell him that it’ll never go away how a hero of mine — he’s also a friend but he’s one of my heroes as well — wants us to work with him or help him get ready, or comes to see Rock N’ Roll Express versus FTR or calls us because he and Randy are in the [Greatest Wrestling Match Ever at Backlash 2020]. Randy called us to put that match together with them.”
Dax would then delve a bit deeper into his and Cash’s short-lived FTRKO faction alongside Orton as well as their off-screen friendship with ‘The Viper’.
“There was no one else in WWE who fought harder for us than Randy. Maybe Roman [Reigns] was a close second but Randy fought super hard for us,” admitted Dax. “The whole FTRKO thing wasn’t supposed to be a thing but it worked, we worked together. So, we worked a few house shows together and he was so impressed with myself and Dan being able to call stuff in the ring and we got along on the tour buses and stuff and it was just easy. I think he’s a wrestling fan, he sees that we’re huge wrestling fans, so we bonded over that. We asked him questions about his dad, and he saw how hard we worked, so he loved that. It’s so weird because of who he is and what he is and who we are and what we are, you’d think that we’re polar opposites, and maybe we are, but it made for a great friendship.”
