FTR Return To AEW TV, Fight Off Don Callis Family On Collision

When Dax Harwood announced that two-time AEW World Tag Team Champions FTR would be off TV "for a while" back in June, few expected that they would be back on TV only a month later. Yet on last night’s episode of "AEW Collision," FTR returned, storming the ring to fight off the remnants of the Don Callis Family.

"Collision" opened with a match between the Don Callis Family's Konosuke Takeshita and "Dynamite Kid" Tommy Billington. After Konosuke Takeshita won, Don Callis (who had been on commentary) hit the ring and offered Tommy Billington a spot in the Family. Tommy Billington refused, then put his hands on Don Callis, which led to Konosuke Takeshita attacking him from behind. Don Callis briefly joined Konosuke Takeshita in stomping the prone Tommy Billington before waving toward the back, summoning fellow Family member Kyle Fletcher. As Konosuke Takeshita and Kyle Fletcher continued the beatdown, FTR's music hit, and Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler ran down to the ring to make the save for Tommy Billington.

On June 10th, Dax Harwood claimed he had suffered a severe hematoma on his lower back at AEW's Dynasty pay-per-view in April, a condition he didn't fully disclose to the promotion's medical staff, which led to things worsening. There was also a report that Dax Harwood suffered a concussion in the Dynasty match, as well. With Dax Harwood ready to return,  last night’s segment presumably set up a feud between FTR and the team of Konosuke Takeshita and Kyle Fletcher, who are currently the last two members of the faction left standing. Powerhouse Hobbs and Trent Beretta are dealing with injuries, Sammy Guevara had turned babyface on the Family before his recent suspension, and AEW International Champion Will Ospreay left the Family of his own accord, with Don Callis' blessing, earlier this month.
