FTR Split Not Happening? – On the April 5 episode of AEW Collision, PAC scored a chaotic win over Cash Wheeler in a match filled with interference, but it was the post-match handshake that stole the spotlight and shifted the momentum heading into AEW Dynasty 2025.
The match between PAC and Wheeler quickly devolved into mayhem as both the Death Riders—Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta—and Rated FTR allies Cope (Adam Copeland) and Dax Harwood got involved. The interference blurred the lines of strategy and loyalty, but in the end, PAC managed to capitalize on the distraction and secured a victory with a roll-up pin.
While the outcome added another win to PAC’s record, the real story unfolded after the final bell. Cope and Wheeler approached Harwood and offered a handshake — a moment that had been in doubt for weeks. Harwood, who had recently voiced his frustrations about the group’s lack of cohesion and clarity, surprised many by accepting the gesture. The trio stood united once again, suggesting that Rated FTR is back on the same page.
The reunion comes at a pivotal time, with the trio preparing to challenge for the AEW World Trios Championships at AEW Dynasty 2025. With tensions simmering over the past month, particularly between Harwood and the rest of the team, the future of Rated FTR had been uncertain. Wheeler had even publicly acknowledged that a deeper conversation would need to happen following the title match — casting doubt on whether the team could survive the pressure.
Whether this truce holds or is merely a short-lived show of solidarity remains to be seen, but for now, Rated FTR is back—stronger, and seemingly more focused than ever.
