Fans believe that a former AEW World Tag Team Champion team may potentially head back to WWE, amidst rumors of other possible plans for the future.

The team in question is FTR.

The former WWE stars have established themselves as one of the best tag teams of all time in the pro-wrestling business. Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler have remarkable coordination in the ring, allowing them to execute moves with ease. The duo has been Triple Champions in the past, holding the ROH, AAA, and IWGP Tag Team Titles simultaneously.

FTR recently announced that they were taking time off from TV to contemplate their future. They also mentioned that they needed time off to heal their bodies, considering the packed schedule they had in 2022. However, fans on social media were quick to speculate that this may result in FTR jumping ship to WWE. A few tweets also talked about the team potentially reappearing in AEW with CM Punk later.

Jim Cornette recently commented on the possibility of FTR jumping ship to WWE

While fans anticipate FTR potentially returning to the Stamford-based promotion, Jim Cornette believes that recent developments may throw a wrench in the works.

Vince McMahon recently returned to the company, leading to speculation about the future of the roster. Given Vince's tendency to release superstars at the drop of a hat, fans are quite concerned about his plans.

In an episode of the Jim Cornette Experience, the wrestling veteran pointed out that the chances of FTR joining WWE may be slimmer now.

"Are we hearing FTR's contracts are up in April? Because they certainly had to be high on Triple H's call list. But with Vince now who the f*ck knows. With the return of the incomparable Vince McMahon," Jim Cornette said. [From 2:01 to 2:18]

Since there is no timeline revealed for FTR's return as of now, only time will tell what they plan to do next in the future.
