AEW star shares a picture with Bret Hart, takes a cheeky jibe at FTR [Photo]
Recently, former AEW tag team champions were seen with WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart. The stars in question were none other than The Acclaimed.
The Acclaimed are one of the most popular tag teams in AEW, known for their "tongue-in-cheek" raps while walking down the ramp. They're almost always targeted at their opponents, receiving loud pops from the fans pre-match. Hart, a bonafide legend in the wrestling world, was seen with The Acclaimed, posing for a photo.
Taking to Twitter, AEW star Anthony Bowens, alongside Max Caster, shared a picture featuring themselves and Bret Hart. Bowens playfully captioned it with a cheeky jibe at FTR's Dax Harwood.
"After this pic, Bret whispered “Shhh don’t tell @DaxFTR, EVERYONE LOVES THE ACCLAIMED," Bowens tweeted.
Check out his tweet below:
The current AEW tag team champion Dax Harwood's love and admiration for Bret Hart is no secret and The Hitman has even accompanied Harwood and his FTR partner Cash Wheeler to the ring on a few independent shows.
In rather playful banter, Dax Harwood couldn't resist responding to Bowens' tweet, showing his apparent distaste for the presence of the legend with The Acclaimed.
"You’ve taken it too far," Harwood tweeted.
