FTR’s Cash Wheeler has made clear that he and Dax Harwood are interested in competing in New Japan Pro-Wrestling’s World Tag League tournament. Wheeler expressed that the duo wants to take a run at the prestigious annual competition.
World Tag League is one of NJPW’s marquee year-end events, featuring top tag teams from around the world competing in a round-robin format. The stakes are high — the tournament winner earns a shot at the IWGP Tag Team Championship at Wrestle Kingdom, NJPW’s flagship January event held at the Tokyo Dome.
FTR has long established themselves as one of the most decorated tag teams on the global scene, holding championships across multiple promotions and consistently seeking out the biggest challenges the wrestling world has to offer. A run through World Tag League would fit squarely in that tradition, pitting Harwood and Wheeler against the best tag team talent New Japan has to offer on one of the sport’s most competitive stages.
Whether FTR’s schedule and contractual situation ultimately allows for a World Tag League appearance remains to be seen, but Wheeler’s comments signal that the interest is genuine. If they do make it to the tournament, expect FTR to be among the favorites — their in-ring credentials speak for themselves, and competing for a Wrestle Kingdom title shot would only add to what is already one of the most impressive résumés in tag team wrestling today.
