Dax Harwood has hit out at a snub of FTR by All Elite Wrestling, which has celebrated other Wrestling Observer Newsletter award winners from its roster.
AEW published a series of tweets throughout Saturday to congratulate its roster members who were successful in the 2022 WON awards.
These included: Bryan Danielson (Best Technical Wrestler), MJF (Best on Interviews and Most Charismatic), Jon Moxley (Wrestler of the Year, US and Canada MVP, and Bruiser Brody Memorial Award), and The Acclaimed (Most Improved).
FTR won the category for Best Tag Team, but no celebratory tweet for this was posted by AEW.

Alluding to this and FTR’s contract status, Dax Harwood posted a tweet showing some of the other winners with the statement, “Tell me April’s around the corner without telling me April’s around the corner.”
Later, AEW acknowledged the FTR & The Briscoes’ joint award for Feud of the Year without mentioning FTR.

It is not known whether the social media exchange is entirely genuine or in service of a possible on-screen storyline.
AEW on Wednesday 1st March includes a Casino Tag Team Battle Royale, which is a format that usually includes unannounced “joker” participants.
