Corey Graves references major AEW stars on WWE SmackDown

Corey Graves subtly referred to a top AEW tag team on SmackDown. The team being discussed is FTR.

FTR has been one of the most dominant tag teams in AEW right now. The duo also dominated WWE. During Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood's time in the Stamford-based promotion, the duo wrestled as The Revival and made a name for themselves on the NXT brand before failing to get over on the main roster.

In 2016, FTR squared off against DIY multiple times. Ciampa and Gargano captured the WWE Tag Team Championship on last week's SmackDown after defeating A-Town Down Under.

During tonight's rematch for the championships, DIY hit Shatter Machine, followed by Meet Me in the Middle to retain the titles. After the tag team champions took a page from FTR's book, Corey Graves exclaimed, "Shatter Machine," referring to the top AEW team's move.

After the bout, the champions had no time to celebrate as Bloodline's Jacob Fatu immediately ambushed both teams.

It should be noted that Tommaso and Johnny used FTR's move last week when they won the gold on SmackDown. It will be interesting to see if they have added the finisher so they can use it regularly.
