FTR’s Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler have clinched the top spot in the 2023 Pro Wrestling Illustrated Tag Team 100.
This is the fourth year the magazine has published a list dedicated to tag team wrestlers.
Creative direction and booking play a large part in the rankings, as criteria include wins & losses and “momentum”.
The Usos topped the 2022 list, but the pair were not eligible this time around, having been split up. FTR took second place last year.
Aussie Open nabbed second place this year, while WWE’s top representation went to Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn in third.
During the qualifying period from November 1 2022, FTR have held the AEW World Tag Team Championships, the IWGP Tag Team Championships, the AAA Tag Team Championships, and the ROH World Tag Team Championships.
Congratulations to FTR (@DaxFTR & @CashWheelerFTR) for once again standing tall as PWI's top-ranked tag team in the world.
