Stokely joins FTR as they send a violent message through pro wrestling history
Summary
– FTR made their alliance with Stokely Hathaway official on AEW Dynamite
– Legends Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson were assaulted after a fake tribute
– The segment ended with a spike piledriver on Morton before Adam Cole made the save
FTR escalated their heel turn on the April 23 episode of *AEW Dynamite*, viciously attacking the Rock ‘n’ Roll Express during what was framed as a tribute segment. The moment came after Stokely Hathaway announced he is now the official agent for FTR, vowing to have their recent suspensions and fines erased.
After cutting a scathing promo targeting AEW’s disciplinary practices and mocking the legacy of other top stars, Stokely brought out Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson. The segment quickly shifted as FTR insulted the legends, downplaying their accomplishments and mocking their age.
Things took a turn when Morton was ambushed and dropped with a spike piledriver, leaving him motionless in the ring. Before FTR could continue, TNT Champion Adam Cole and Roderick Strong ran out to intervene. By then, the damage had been done.
FTR made it clear—this isn’t about respect anymore. It’s about dominance.
