Backstage News On Issues Between FTR & The Elite – In recent days, Eddie Kingston and Dax Harwood of FTR have come out to downplay reports of a divide within AEW due to CM Punk stemming from his actions at the AEW all Out event last year with both his rant at the press conference and brawl with The Elite.
As previously reported, one top star in the promotion is reportedly fearful of the ticking time bomb regarding the issues between the two sides, which was said to only get worse following Punk’s ESPN interview and return promo. The Elite and Punk were kept far apart from each other at Sunday’s Forbidden Door pay-per-view.
Harwood defended Punk over the weekend by calling out the wrestler who has spoken about the tension behind the scenes in AEW.
While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer said there are no longer any issues between FTR and The Elite as “they’re all fine.”
Meltzer added that FTR went out of their way to make things right with The Elite, and they could hypothetically work a match on Wednesday if needed.
“Neither of them were brought to the press conference. Tony Khan said later down the line they would be. FTR and Omega, the Young Bucks, they’re all fine. Some people think it’s like this divide with Punk and FTR against these guys. With Punk, there’s still fence mending that needs to be done for them to work together and everything like that. It could happen, it may not happen, time will tell, but with FTR, it’s fine. There’s nothing at all that would hold up if they wanna do a tag team title program at some point tomorrow, everyone’s cool with that. FTR worked really hard on that too. They went out of their way to get that done. There was stuff there of course….but it was not nearly as bad of an issue as it was with Punk. It was much easier to mend, so anyway, that’s all taken care of.”
