FTR were known as The Revival during their time in WWE. They had tremendous feuds with the likes of American Alpha, Team #DIY and other teams. They eventually parted ways with the company after being misused by WWE on the main roster. They do not plan on coming back no matter how good of an offer they receive.
FTR spoke to TalkSport, where they revealed that Triple H tried to make them come back to the company. Dax Harwood said that Triple H “tried hard” to keep them in the company. While they appreciate his efforts, they simply had no interest whatsoever in returning.
“There were talks with us and Triple H to go back to NXT and they tried very hard to keep us. It was all professional and all respectful and we were very gracious to the offers we got and to what Triple H was going to provide for us, but ultimately, we knew that our time in WWE was over at that time. We knew it was time for us to move on because money is great, and I am so fortunate and lucky to take care of my beautiful wife and perfect little six year old daughter because of professional wrestling… If we stayed with the uncertainly that would have been for The Revival, we would have done a disservice to ourselves and professional wrestling. We never want to do that.”
“Once we got pulled from all of our dates on the main roster, it was down to NXT as the option and we talked to Hunter at length, there were offers on the table that were very tempting because we loved NXT and we loved our time there, but at the end of the day like Dax said, we knew that our time there was done. We didn’t want to go back to the past – we’d done that. We wanted to come here [AEW]. We wanted to travel the world. We wanted to be doing something that makes a difference and impacts wrestling for the better and there we were just going to be cogs in the machine.”
