WWE is reportedly interested in bringing back the team formerly known as The Revival.

According to a report from Fightful Select, there have been internal discussions in WWE about bringing back the team now known as FTR. Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler's deals with AEW will expire this summer but the company has the option to extend their contracts by one year.

FTR debuted in AEW on the May 27, 2020 edition of Dynamite. WWE had granted them their releases in April 2020. The team had reportedly turned down five-year renewals on their contracts before leaving the company.

Harwood signed with WWE in 2012 and Wheeler signed in 2014. During their time as the Revival in WWE, they were two-time NXT Tag Team Champions, two-time RAW Tag Team Champions, and one-time Smackdown Tag Team Champions.

Since leaving WWE and signing with AEW, FTR are one-time AEW World Tag Team Champions, one-time AAA World Tag Team Champions (current), and one-time ROH World Tag Team Champions (current).

Anything think FTR will consider going back to WWE? The only reason would be money, but after that silly gimmick pitch and the way WWE presents tag team wrestling in general, I'd never consider it if I was them. AEW have had the freedom to go and take on the best tag teams around, such as Rock'n'Roll Express, Briscoes, Lucha Bros etc. Going back to WWE, you'd literally have the Uso's... and that's about it.

Hopefully Tony Khan ties them in and continues to let them work in AEW, ROH, AAA etc.

There is no way in hell they go back there before Vince is dead.

I sure hope you're correct. Even after then, it will always depend on who is running the company. when Vince is dead, WWE will be run like WCW was, owned or operated by some massive corporation and run by some executive.

AEW's next 5 years is certain, Tony Khan will still be running it, Tony Khan will still be investing in it. WWE's next 5 years is not certain, I don't see many taking the Cody plunge.
