Why? What has changed for WWE that they would be interested in 2 wrestlers that dont fit their mold and have no interest in being square pegs? they got popular somewhere else.

WWE are either actually taking the piss, or they spent way too much money on those Flavor Flav clock outfits to see them go to waste.

I swear to God If you combined every Drake song ever written into one you'd still have a song that was about 5% as thirsty for their exes as WWE is Vince when someone he completely dejected makes more of themselves elsewhere.. ![](https://i.postimg.cc/nM8ZyZ83/83-D24-D38-1-E0-D-4-DE5-AE17-08146-E2-EE40-E.gif)

Business 101.
Vince would pay them literally just to not use them or kill them dead in the water if it would hurt AEW.
I'm not saying that WWE wouldn't try to use other talent properly (Cody seems to be a much better fit in modern WWE than modern AEW), but Vince notoriously hates tag teams so I can't see him doing anything else except paying them to sit in catering or be jobbed.

Never say never in this business.
Money is one thing, but I think to get a team like FTR back, WWE's entire creative process would have to be changed. They both seem to have a lot of pride as performers, and I find that commendable, but like what others have already posted, a tag team in WWE is rarely given creative integrity. There are exceptions to this, but more often than not, the long term booking for a WWE tag team is, "do as we say, until we break you up."

Like Mox, hell even moreso than Mox, I can't really see it happening unless Vince is gone from the company for one reason or another. If Triple H is the heir apparent, I think it becomes a lot more plausible. If it's Nick Khan, it's a giant question mark because we have no clue how he'll handle the creative process.

"If the circumstances are right" is doing so much lifting there, goddamn. Vince will never take these men seriously. The best tag team wrestling got in WWE the past decade was Usos/The Bar/New Day all fighting each other and as good as the matches were it was pretty blatant filler. By the time FTR showed up it was in rougher shape and they started doing "HA HA THEY'RE GAY" material with them before the clown concept art. Don't take anything off the table, but I imagine it's a real steep consideration, and unlike Cody where Vince has no inherent problem making a singles star--though you wouldn't know it from the past decade--he will never let tag team wrestling be a serious thing. For me: "If the circumstances are right" = not now, but let's see who runs the WWE in 5 years time. Its as impossible to say what the WWE will be like after the almighty power struggle that will kick off in the near future, as to predict when it will happen. For all I know, the Papa H "We're Really Sorry about Johnny Ace and Nick Khan, it was all their fault, honest" world tour turns out a massive PR success. Vince will be running the company for as long as he's alive be it 5 years or 10 years. Now, if in the next 5 years Dax and Cash are thinking of winding down, I can see them going back to WWE for a boatload of money. Take the embarrassment all the way to the bank.

For all I know, the Papa H "We're Really Sorry about Johnny Ace and Nick Khan, it was all their fault, honest" world tour turns out a massive PR success. I'm sure if Triple H gets control of the company it would be a massively different conversation for FTR. They would trust him and he'd be making hard moves to get back his boys and probably a fair few WWE washouts he pushed hard in the black and gold days. I just don't know how realistic that looks in the current climate. tbh At this point in time, to quote a commentary great, it seems highly unlikely! Though like Brando in The Godfather, Vince keeps going on...

Unless Vince sells the company than either H , Shane, or both will one day run the company. Vinces shares will go to his family when he dies so eventually they will end up with Steph and Shane giving them control. Steph seems to have less interest these days in anything outside PR leaving H to control her half. Khan will most likely have moved on as his types do. But there will most likely be someone like him to handle the business side.

FYI - most talent are always going to publicly say they are willing to go back "under the right circumstances" because only WWE can match AEW's contracts right now so if you want to get a better deal when it comes time, you need to say stuff like this even if you never plan on leaving.

This is totally a case of Vince having no memory of ever having previously hiring them and thinks they are some new hot tag team on the scene.

WWE, you had them, you wasted them and the only reason why they have stated that they might sign for you is to hype themselves up and to negotiate a new contract with AEW.
They aren't coming back, and if they did, they would only be wasted again.

Dax and Cash are not stupid guys, I could see them at the very least using this to get more money from AEW when their contract is up. But I doubt they actually come back to WWE unless Vince is gone and replaced with someone who actually gives a shit.

Someone already touched on it but "the right circumstances" is definetly something alot of guys and gals who left recently will be saying which is code for...WHEN VINCE IS GONE.

My two cents.
1: They aren't interested and just want to inflate the price tag on FTR
2: FTR went through the effort of trademarks after leaving, They aren't going back.

Morbidly I kind of hope they do it, because I don't think WWE would have a goddamn idea what to do with them once they had them.
Except for the Usos who has been competently booked as a tag team in like, the last decade?

And things have only gotten worse in that regard.
