Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler were featured in action on this past week's AEW television special. Unfortunately, the duo's newfound ally faced a markedly hostile reception from the crowd during the matchup, and Harwood has now shared his reaction to the same on social media.

This past Wednesday on Collision: Fyter Fest, FTR took on Atlantis Jr. and Templario, a matchup that stemmed from the disrespect that the former AEW World Tag Team Champions had displayed towards their opponents a few days prior. The CMLL stars were unable to defeat Harwood and Wheeler, however, as the latter picked up the win over Templario.

A number of fans in attendance at the Mission Ballroom in Denver, Colorado, at Fyter Fest were rooting for the masked luchadors to emerge victorious against FTR. In fact, at one point, the crowd began raining down a derogatory chant at the newly-turned heel duo's manager, Stokely Hathaway. Dax Harwood has now taken to X/Twitter to lash out at the All Elite Wrestling fanbase for insulting The Top Guys' newly-appointed representative and demanded an apology on his behalf.

"I try to like you, but sometimes AEW Fans have no class… Stokely deserves an apology [heart emoji]", wrote Harwood.

Stokely first accompanied FTR as their new manager this past April, shortly after Harwood and Wheeler viciously betrayed Adam Copeland at Dynasty 2025, and after they were briefly suspended for attacking Tony Schiavone and brutalizing Daniel Garcia and 2point0 later on Collision.

FTR were supposed to face two legends at AEW All In 2025

Fans at AEW Dynasty this year were stunned when FTR completely destroyed Adam Copeland following on the heels of Rated-FTR's unsuccessful World Trios Title bout against The Death Riders at the pay-per-view.

The former TNT Champion has yet to return to All Elite programming, which has put a question mark beside rumors of a potential storyline pitting the newly christened "Living Legend Killers" against The Rated-R Superstar and his former tag partner, Christian Cage.

While viewers were hoping to see FTR vs. Cope and Christian play out at AEW All In: Texas, it appears that such a bout may not come to fruition this July, as The Patriarch is still in the thick of his current program with Nick Wayne and The Patriarchy as a heel. Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp addressed the topic on a recent edition of The Hump, stating:

“People I talked to hinted to me there were some hiccups in relation to turning Christian babyface or getting him out of The Patriarchy. [It] seems like he wanted to do that for a little bit longer. They had planned for Cope and Christian against FTR at All In.” [H/T: Ringside News]

It remains to be seen what Tony Khan and company have planned for FTR for the promotion's upcoming stadium show.
