Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler are considered by many to be one of the best tag teams in the business today. The duo had success with WWE before finally landing in AEW.
During an interview with Renee Paquette on The Sessions podcast, Harwood reflected on an encounter with WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels that left a bad taste in his mouth.
“I told [Shawn Michaels], I was like ;man, this happened. Tore my bicep. I went through a really dark period, I thought I was going to quit. But thankfully, just like I told you, I have the greatest wife in the world and she has supported me and brought me out of this funk and she brought me out of a dark place and I’m here now and I’m super happy.’ He said, ‘I was the same way, I was in this very dark spot. I met my wife, she’s beautiful, and she pulled me out of this dark spot, too.’ I was like, ‘Ah, that’s so awesome.’ He said, ‘Look, you and your partner are way too talented to be doing what you’re doing tonight and you’re way too talented to stay at this point. Just keep your nose to the ground and keep grinding and you’re going to get over.’ I’m like ‘Ah, man, Shawn, thank you so much.’ We had this bonding moment. And then, we got in front of his friends. X-Pac and Hunter and Billy and Road Dogg, and Scott. As soon as we got in front of his friends, he started making fun of me and making fun of my situation and what happened with my bicep and I was like, ‘Man, I just poured my heart out to you and as soon as we get in front of your friends, because we’re going over, they’re going to beat the sh*t out of us, you decide to take all that stuff and make fun of me about it. And I never ever forgot it. As soon as we were done with the business at Raw, one person said thank you to us, and it was Sean Waltman.”
Harwood and Cash wheeler are currently eyeing to get back the AEW Tag Team Titles. In WWE, the team were the first to ever win the Tag Team Triple Crown. They are also the current AAA World Tag Team Champions.
