Dax has a statement at the beginning of the episode regarding the tragic passing of Jay.* On this episode of FTR with Dax, we explore one of the most "what could have been" factions in wrestling history, "FTRKO."

Dax talks about The Revival asking for their releases, how he felt about Kofi losing to Brock, Vince's real thoughts on the Revival, a crazy story about Paul Heyman, Cash's (Dash Wilder) contract being extended, and too many other things to list here.
