FTR recently got involved in a major controversy with Jake Hager. The former WWE World Heavyweight Champion recently made some comments on INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet about his frustrations with AEW and Tony Khan. He also mentioned that FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) skipped a TV taping after a backstage meeting over CM Punk's AEW departure.

While this controversy is far from being over, WWE legend Eric Bischoff jumped into the mix by ripping Cash and Dax with some scathing comments. Following Hager's interview, Wheeler took to X to reveal that he has already confronted the former WWE star over the abovementioned remarks. He revealed that Hager has apologized for his comments, suggesting it was a mistake on his end.

Speaking on 83 Weeks with Eric Bischoff, the former RAW General Manager termed Cash Wheeler as emotionally weak. He said that Wheeler's comments make FTR look fragile, adding that it could be detrimental for their on-screen characters. The WCW icon advised the AEW stars to remain in character even on social media, as it could put them in a bad light.

"It just makes me laugh. Fragile. There’s Dax and Cash. ‘Oh my God, he said my name.' This fragility in professional wrestling has got to stop. By posting that reaction, you’re going to fire those internet trolls up even more… Keep your character alive in social media, guys. It’ll serve you well," he said. [H/T: Ringside News]
