WWE Had Interest In FTR, But Their AEW Contracts Aren’t Close To Being Up

Irts not contract season for FTR, but regardless, there’s already some outside interest.

FTR are having the hottest years of their career, and their contracts are set to run until next Summer. We’re told there was a miscommunication on FTR’s side, which is why they’d done interviews over the past six months indicating that their deal was up in the summer of 2022. Originally, there was an option “in play,” but FTR’s side asked for three years without an option during negotiations, which AEW had agreed to.

Outside of that, we’re told that WWE has expressed interest internally about possibly bringing back the team formerly known as The Revival. In 2019, the two passed up what were then huge offers of $850,000 each, with Mark Carrano even mentioning that he could possibly get them to $1 million each before they left for All Elite Wrestling. WWE is unable to approach FTR directly.

FTR have since confirmed to Wrestling Perspective Podcast that they’ve not spoken to WWE directly and would not while under contract.
