Dax Harwood Teases Third Match Against Top AEW Tag Team
FTR has become one of the most prominent tag teams of the last decade, currently holding three sets of championships based in three different countries.

While their previous goal was the AEW World Trios Championships alongside Omega, the Young Bucks could also conceivably challenge FTR for any of their three championships.
