FTR is already eyeing a showdown with New Day now that Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston are leaving WWE.
Shortly after news broke that Woods and Kingston would become free agents following their WWE departure earlier this month, Cash Wheeler appeared to tease interest in the duo joining AEW by posting lyrics from Clipse’s “Cot Damn” that included the line: “It’s a new day.” Now Wheeler has directly addressed the possibility of facing Woods and Kingston in AEW.
Speaking with Yahoo’s Uncrowned, Cash explained that FTR never truly got the chance to wrestle New Day the way they wanted because of restrictions during their WWE runs.
“I don’t think we’ve ever really had the chance to go two versus two against those guys without there being any restrictions on us.”
Cash then carefully stopped himself before going too far while still making it clear WWE limited what the teams could do creatively.
“Without there being too many things that you’re not allowed to do.”
Despite all four men spending years under the WWE banner at the same time, FTR and New Day surprisingly never wrestled each other in a televised tag team match. That fact alone has already made wrestling fans start fantasy booking the matchup now that Woods and Kingston are officially heading into free agency.
FTR has repeatedly called themselves one of the greatest tag teams of all time, while New Day built one of the most successful tag runs in WWE history. The idea of the two teams finally getting a completely unrestricted match instantly becomes one of the biggest possible tag team attractions outside WWE.
With AEW always looking for major dream matches and FTR now openly discussing New Day, the speculation is only going to grow louder from here.
