AEW President Tony Khan recently shared his thoughts on the Dynamite opener between Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood. Khan noted that he loved to watch the FTR teammates battle it out.

Last week's episode of Dynamite kicked off with an Owen Hart Foundation Cup qualifying match. The ROH Tag Team Champions faced each other to determine who would join Samoa Joe, Kyle O'Reilly and others in the tournament. After a back-and-forth contest, Harwood came out the winner.

Speaking on Busted Open Radio during the "Tony Time" segment, Khan heaped praise on the aforementioned match. He also claimed that the high-octane bout would stand the test of time.

“It’s a great match, and it’s absolutely worth repeat viewing,” Khan said. “It was a great way to start a great show. It was very much the kind of great wrestling match you want to have, especially in a tournament like the Owen Hart Cup. That’s a match that will stand the test of time, Frankly, FTR have been in a lot of matches in 2022 already that will stand the test of time. ” (H/T - Wrestling Inc)

FTR is on a roll as they have had some stellar matches against The Briscoes and The Young Bucks in recent times. The veteran duo currently hold the current AAA and ROH Tag Team Championship.
