While CM Punk and The Elite are dealing with issues, FTR is said to be on good terms with The Young Bucks following the AEW All Out brawl.

As PWMania.com previously reported, FTR’s Dax Harwood came to CM Punk’s defense, calling out the wrestler who has spoken about the tension behind the scenes in AEW. The schism between the two camps has grown worse in the week since Punk’s return, despite his interview with ESPN and his Collision promo.

Dave Meltzer stated on Wrestling Observer Radio that everything is fine between The Bucks and FTR. Bryan Alvarez noted that the locker rooms for Punk and The Elite at Forbidden Door were kept separate and that they never interacted on the show.

“Neither of them were brought to the press conference. Tony Khan said later down the line they would be. FTR and Omega, the Young Bucks, they’re all fine. Some people think it’s like this divide with Punk and FTR against these guys. With Punk, there’s still fence mending that needs to be done for them to work together and everything like that. It could happen, it may not happen, time will tell, but with FTR, it’s fine. There’s nothing at all that would hold up if they wanna do a tag team title program at some point tomorrow, everyone’s cool with that. FTR worked really hard on that too. They went out of their way to get that done. There was stuff there of course….but it was not nearly as bad of an issue as it was with Punk. It was much easier to mend, so anyway, that’s all taken care of.”
