The Good Brothers Send Emotional Message to FTR Amid AEW Absence

The Good Brothers shared an emotional message for FTR following their recent match at the AMW Super Bowl of Wrestling, showing respect for the AEW duo during their absence from All Elite Wrestling.

Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson faced Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler in a highly anticipated tag team contest at the event. The bout ended with The Good Brothers capturing the vacant AMW Tag Team Championships.

The Good Brothers Show Respect to FTR

Following their victory, Luke Gallows took to Instagram to share photos from the event. One of the standout moments showed The Good Brothers embracing FTR after their match, highlighting the mutual respect between the two experienced tag teams.

Gallows accompanied the photos with a short but meaningful message:

#Respect #FTR #GoodBrothers @appalachianmountainwrestling

The moment came after an intense tag team battle between two teams with extensive experience in major wrestling promotions.

FTR Returns to In-Ring Action Outside AEW

The match was particularly notable because it marked FTR’s return to in-ring competition after a period away from AEW. Harwood and Wheeler had been absent from the Jacksonville-based promotion since losing the AEW World Tag Team Championships to Adam Copeland and Christian Cage at Double or Nothing 2026.

FTR’s appearance at the AMW event gave fans an opportunity to see the former AEW champions back in action while their future with Tony Khan’s promotion remains uncertain.

FTR and The Good Brothers Have WWE History

Both teams have extensive WWE experience. Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson spent several years working for WWE, while Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler also competed in the company before making the move to AEW.

FTR left WWE in April 2020 after their releases and joined AEW one month later. The team eventually became one of the most recognizable tag teams on the AEW roster.

Dax Harwood Explained Why FTR Joined AEW

Dax Harwood previously explained that he and Cash Wheeler decided to leave WWE because they wanted greater control over their careers and hoped to contribute to the growth of another wrestling promotion.

“The whole reason Cash and I bet on ourselves and went to AEW is because we knew if we could be part of building up another company that would afford to pay wrestlers fairly.”

Harwood also emphasized that the duo wanted to help create a better environment for future generations of professional wrestlers and wrestling fans.

When Will FTR Return to AEW?

Although FTR have now returned to the ring outside AEW, their next move remains unclear. Their appearance at the AMW Super Bowl of Wrestling has naturally raised questions about whether they will eventually return to Tony Khan’s promotion.

For now, fans will have to wait for further developments regarding FTR’s AEW status. The emotional interaction with The Good Brothers, however, provided a memorable moment during their return to competition.
