"We are honest men" – Ricky Starks makes big promise to former WWE Tag Team Champion ahead of next week's title match
Team Taz's Ricky Starks promised former WWE star Dax Harwood that if they win the AEW Tag Team Championships next week on Dynamite, FTR will be the first contenders in line.
Starks & Powerhouse Hobbs will face Swerve in our Glory (Keith Lee & Swerve Strickland) and reigning champions The Young Bucks next week on Dynamite: Fyter Fest Night 1.
On Twitter, the AEW star asked if people needed more evidence that he and Hobbs are the best duo. Dax chimed in and posted AEW tag team rankings, where FTR is number one.
Starks then guaranteed to Harwood that if he and Hobbs win next week, FTR can immediately challenge them:
"We are honest men. Once we win you got first shot. On my life," Starks promised.

FTR currently has three tag team title belts (AAA, ROH, and IWGP) and would love to add AEW as the fourth. Meanwhile, Team Taz are gunning to win their first tag team championship in the Jacksonville-based promotion.
