FTR, formerly known as The Revival, were never really happy during their time on the WWE main roster. That has not been the case in AEW.

After finding enormous success as a tag team in WWE NXT, their main roster run was dampened by injuries and poor booking decisions.

They didn't let that hold them back and got the release they were looking for, signing with AEW after their WWE contract expired. Soon enough, they won the AEW Tag Team Championships.

Since then, Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood have dominated the tag team proceedings in the company. While they lost the titles to The Young Bucks, they have been consistently dominant. Currently, they are a part of MJF's new faction — The Pinnacle.

The addition of FTR has been extremely important for AEW. Since the start of the promotion, the lax rules in tag team matches have been seen by fans as something of an issue.

So far, FTR have been fastidious about the importance of the rules being followed, and the two of them have seemingly influenced the entire division to do better.
