1) Rumors regarding WWE's interest in FTR

Rumors have suggested that the company is interested in bringing back the former tag team champions FTR, formerly known as The Revival. During their time with WWE, the duo held the tag titles on all three brands. Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler are currently signed to AEW, and they have also competed for other promotions including ROH.
