Dax Harwood stated throughout the most recent episode of his FTR podcast with Matt Koon that FTR wished to sign up with forces with Cody Rhodes in AEW prior to the EVP leapt to WWE in 2022.
The Top Guy exposed that the American Nightmare had an interest in the pairing also.
” We did speak to Cody a lot about forming a group with him. This was prior to Max [MJF] occurred. We spoke to Cody a lot about it. He had Arn, we had Tully, we wished to develop a very group with Cody, us 2 [FTR], and we had some concepts of who might be the other members. Around that time, Brock (Anderson) was beginning to come up, and we felt that if Brock were with us, he might stand beyond the ring and see us, and if we had eight-man tags, he would have the ability to find out by basing on the apron, getting in for a couple of minutes and tagging out, and we might talk with him after and inform him why specific things occurred.”
Harwood kept in mind that the factor it didn’t occur was because of Rhodes not having an interest in turning heel.
” I believe Cody truly wished to also, however I believe he was emphatically versus being a heel, a minimum of at that time.”
