In a recent interview with Connor Casey of ComicBook prior to the ROH Supercard of Honor event, FTR (Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler) revealed that there was no planned match between themselves and The Briscoes when they began their feud.

Speaking about the matter, Cash Wheeler had the following to say, “So, I’ll tell you that there was no plan, the plan is there was no plan, it was just, I think it just started over a couple of tweets really. There has always been the chatter, because they are who they are, we are who we are and fans appreciate good tag team wrestling and they know that those two teams are going to give you that, so the chatter has already been there and then, it just, I think maybe Dax and Jay went back and forth on Twitter and from there it just, the videos started happening and we didn’t know if we respond for a little bit and then we decided, you know what, let’s respond, let’s put them in their place and then Final Battle got the approval and we’re like, okay we’re really cooking here and then everything just had to, the brakes had to be pumped and then we didn’t know if it was going to happen at all, and so we just kind of, back and forth, a lot of uncertainty and we finally got the final word maybe a day before the fans did. Honestly, we knew about a day before it was announced and that was it.”

Dax Harwood followed up stating, “I think that the word hype is completely the wrong word to use because there was no hype going on, there was no, the stuff that we were saying and we were doing wasn’t for promotional material or to hype anything up, it was two tag teams, maybe specifically at the time, two guys who thought their tag team was the best. There was, like Cash said, a lot of chatter, a lot of dream and fantasy booking between FTR and The Briscoes and I think they think they’re the greatest, we think we’re the greatest and if someone ever says something about me or Cash, it gets me riled up a little bit in real life and in wrestling, especially if you think you’re better than us, so I had to, we had to rebuke. We decided for a while we weren’t going to say anything, we were going to let them just go on their little rants and not touch it at all, but you know what, we were getting tired of it, let’s do it, let’s put them in their place.”
