Dax Harwood takes a jibe at WWE legend Road Dogg

The FTR member recently took a dig at Hall of Famer Road Dogg for expressing his love for The Usos. In a recent post on Twitter, Dogg praised the Usos after their bout on the latest episode of SmackDown. He also said that there are tag teams who are better than the Undisputed Tag Team Champions in terms of work rate, but they are the best at attracting the money. The statement did not go down well with Harwood, who stated that FTR was "dollar signs," as well. "I’d like to think we’re dollar signs too. But hey, your friend is back in charge. we all know your intent. Have a good day, Brian," Harwood wrote. I’d like to think we’re dollar signs too. But hey, your friend is back in charge. we all know your intent. Have a good day, Brian. You talking “workrate” I’m talking dollar signs. A lot of guys were better than Hogan…. Who cares You talking “workrate” I’m talking dollar signs. A lot of guys were better than Hogan…. Who caresI’d like to think we’re dollar signs too. But hey, your friend is back in charge. we all know your intent. Have a good day, Brian. FTR is potentially regarded as a top tag team in the wrestling business and currently holds the IWGP, AAA, and ROH Tag Team Titles. As of writing, they are slated to face The Briscoes to defend their ROH Tag Team Titles at the Death Before Dishonor pay-per-view. Do you think FTR will also hold the AEW Tag Team Titles soon?
