During an appearance on Talk is Jericho, FTR discussed an idea that Brodie Lee had for debuting in AEW. Lee apparently wanted to have himself and FTR appear as AEW’s version of the WWE faction The Radicalz from 2000:
Dax Harwood: “We had a group text with him, and he said, ‘I want us to be The Radicalz.’ Me, Cash and him, he wanted us to be The Radicalz. We had these big, grandiose plans to come in together.”
Cash Wheeler: “Our contracts were coming up real soon, until some things happened. His plan and our plan was to be The Radicalz here.”
Harwood: “But he didn’t know about The Dark Order stuff, until it was pitched.”
