Dax Harwood: FTR Has A Checkered Past With The New Level, I Look Forward To Them Testing Themselves Against The Greatest Of All Time

Dax Harwood speaks on the rivalry between FTR and The New Level and how he’s looking forward to facing them in AEW.

At AEW All In 2026, The New Level (Austin Creed and Kofi) would make their All Elite Wrestling debuts, teaming with Swerve Strickland to win the Trios Championships. Later that same night, the pair would share the ring with some of AEW’s top tag teams in a stand off segment.

While speaking to the Danny Ocean Show and 3NT Wrestling, Dax Harwood spoke about the New Level.

“Of course. Any match that is a big money match for me at this stage in my career is a match I’m looking forward to. The New Level, we have a checkered past with that team, with those guys. We had a pretty memorable debut against those guys and a bunch of different kind of matches. Even one of my favorite matches of all time was the ladder match we had with those guys. But this is 2026, seven years later. FTR has established themselves as the greatest tag team in the world, and at one time, (The) New Level was the greatest tag team in the world, and now they can be happy to sit at number two. Because right now, tag team wrestling is where myself and Cash, we reign supreme, and they’re coming into our world, and I look forward to them testing themselves against the greatest of all time.”

Elsewhere in the same interview, Dax spoke about the influx of new AEW signings as a whole. You can read more about that here.
