AEW star Colt Cabana was rumored to be the latest star on the chopping block before re-signing with the promotion. However, Dax Harwood recently took to Twitter to strongly refute the claim, possibly killing the rumor.
According to a Fightful Select report, AEW rumoredly intended to let Colt Cabana go, striking another blow to The Dark Order. They then continued by noting that Cabana's relationship backstage resulted in the promotion reversing their decision.
After seeing Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful's original tweet, Harwood took to Twitter to set the record straight:
"100% complete fabrication." - Dax Tweeted.
Dax then replied to his own tweet, clarifying that he hadn't read the article but that no one was getting fired from AEW:
"I hadn’t read the article. I just want everyone to know that no one is getting anyone fired. LFG!" - Harwood responded.
Cabana's documented public disagreements with CM Punk were thought to be why the star hasn't been seen on screen lately. According to a May 2022 report from Dave Meltzer, Cabana is set for a significant run with Ring of Honor, which could be why the star has been MIA.

The former AEW Tag Team Champions blame "one company" for the state of tag team wrestling across the industry
During an interview with Culture State, FTR's Dax Harwood commented on how much more prominent tag team wrestling is due to their recent in-ring work:
“For so long, tag team wrestling has been on the back burner, because one company, for the last 20 or 30 years or whatever it is (…) always focused on singles wrestling," Dax said. "So the tag team guys would attempt to outshine their partners because they were just focused on themselves. For us, we wanted to completely change that.” (H/T: WrestlingInc)
FTR has come a long way since being The Revival in WWE. The duo currently holds three Tag Team Championships: the ROH World Tag Team Championship, the AAA World Tag Team Championship, and the IWGP Tag Team Championship.
