AEW star Dax Harwood ends his podcast after backstage heat
AEW star Dax Harwood has surprised the wrestling world with an announcement that he will no longer produce his podcast, FTR with Dax. The show with Dax began airing in December 2022 as a continuation of William Regal's Gentleman Villain podcast.
Dax confirmed this, stating that he didn't want to be a detriment to the wrestling industry or his co-workers and that he had caused Cash a lot of undeserved heat due to comments he made about wanting to wrestle with CM Punk.

However, rumors suggested that the podcast caused backstage heat for Dax and his tag team partner, Cash Wheeler. The decision to shut down the podcast was made to avoid further negativity.
