* FTR taking on Jay White and Juice Robinson once again in a two out of three falls match for the AEW World Tag Team Championship on the July 15, 2023 Collision. This was an absolute masterclass in tag team wrestling as the two teams for 55 minutes went back and forth until eventually Harwood managed to make Juice tap out with the Sharpshooter. Dave Meltzer would end up calling this the greatest televised tag team match of all time and giving it [[BrokeTheRatingScale 5 1/4]].

Forgot the first match was already there as well, but the entire feud really does benefit from a seperate write-up so it can be appreciated as a whole


** The feud started at ''Supercard of Honor XV'' when the two teams finally faced each other the first time in what for a long time had been considered a dream match. After a 5-star match, FTR defeated The Briscoes with a Big Rig onto Mark to win the [=RoH=] Tag Team Championships for the first time.

* At [=RoH=] ''Death Before Dishonor 2022'', the most-anticipated rematch of the year happened when FTR put the belts back on the line in a 2-out-of-3-falls match against 12-time champions The Briscoes, known for their speciality of sweeping 2/3 matches 2-0. And while The Briscoes did take the first fall with a Doomsday Device on Dax, FTR first denied them the sweep with a Big Rig onto Jay Briscoe, then won the near-45-minute '''war''' with a pair of ''apocalyptic'' moves- first Cash taking out Mark Briscoe with a side suplex off the ring apron through the SpanishAnnouncersTable, then Dax finally finishing Jay with a ''second rope jumping spike piledriver!'' A new contender for the title of greatest tag match of all time, solidifying FTR as ''the'' greatest tag team in the world today, and possibly of all time.

* At Their 2022 feud with Wrestling/TheBriscoeBrothers, the "Holy Trilogy" of tag team wrestling comparable to [[Wrestling/RicFlair Flair]] vs [[Wrestling/RickySteamboat Steamboat]]. Not only did it win "Feud of the Year" from Wrestling/TheWrestlingObserverNewsletter Awards (and also decisively solidify FTR as "Tag Team of the Year" in both those and also the Pro-Wrestling Illustrated Awards), it's been hailed by many as ''the'' greatest tag team feud of all time.

** Finally
the title of greatest tag match of all time, solidifying FTR feud came to a brutal climax at ''Final Battle 2022'' as ''the'' greatest tag team in the world today, two teams clashed in wrestling's first ever ''double dog collar match,'' with Dax chained to Jay Briscoe and possibly Cash shackled to Mark. Both teams used every ounce of all time.violent creativity they had, whipping each other with the chains, striking each other with chain-wrapped fists, using them to clothesline each other or drag their opponents into the ringposts or off the turnbuckles. In the end, Jay was able to hit Dax with a superplex onto a pile of chairs and then use a chain-assisted crossface to make him pass out while Mark kept a desperate Cash from rescuing his partner, regaining the belts and ending the legendary feud. While both previous matches had received 5 stars from Dave Meltzer, this grand finale received ''[[BrokeTheRatingScale 5 1/2]]!''

As many wrestlers restrained the fan and attended to Bret and his niece, Wrestling/{{Natalya}} (who also took a bump when Bret got tackled), Wilder got the a huge reaction from the crowd when he gave the fan a well deserved punch in the face as he was being dragged out of the arena.

* At Wrestling/RingOfHonor's ''Supercard of Honor 2022'' show, the promotion's return PPV and its first event under the management of Tony Khan, FTR had another tag team dream match against The Briscoes. After what as arguably the match of the night on a very good show, FTR triumphed to win the [=RoH=] Tag Team Championships! Notably, as they were still AAA Tag Team Champions at the time, this made them double tag team champions across two different promotions, an incredibly rare and prestigious feat.

** Incidentally, when Dax was first taken out with his shoulder injury, fans were split between feeling deflated that the injury curse that had been plaguing the show had apparently struck ''again'' and ruined the match, or intrigued about whether this was a work to give Cash an incredible babyface-in-peril underdog struggle until Dax came back for a triumphant return and epic hot tag. And while Dax's return did end up making for a killer angle which popped the crowd huge, ''[[EnforcedMethodActing it wasn't an angle!]]'' Dax really ''did'' separate his shoulder in the match, but [[{{Determinator}} got it taped up, gritted his teeth and came back out]] to help FTR win the match, something he nonchalantly tweeted about afterwards:

* At ''Forbidden Door 2021'', FTR proved themselves yet again to be THE top tag team in the world beyond any doubt when they defeated Roppongi Vice (Trent Baretta and Rocky Romero) and United Empire (Jeff Cobb and Great-O-Khan) in a 3-way winner-take-all tag match where they not only retained their [=RoH=] Tag Team titles, but won the IWGP Tag Team Championship, making them '''triple champions!''' The match was a stunning babyface performance by FTR as well, with Dax taken out with a shoulder injury early on, leaving Cash to battle on alone against the odds, before his partner came back with his shoulder taped up again to even the score and finally win with a Big Rig on Romero. Incidentally, this feat makes them the first (and if we're being realistic, most likely the ''only'') tag team to have held the NXT, RAW, [=SmackDown=], AEW, AAA, [=RoH=] and IWGP Tag Team Championships.

* Only five days after the ''Supercard of Honor'' match, FTR (now fully babyface in defiance of everyone's expectations, and white-hot) too on the Young Bucks for only the second time ever in the main event of ''Dynamite'', putting both of their pairs of belts on the line to determine which one of them is truly the world's greatest tag team. The result was one of the best TV matches in ''Dynamite's'' history, as good as or possibly even better than either FTR's match against the Briscoes or their first PPV match against the Bucks, with the crowd on their feet cheering for FTR, Cash playing an awesome [[RickyMorton babyface in peril]] and Dax having amazing hot tags, sterling heel work from the Bucks, and some ''incredibly'' good false finishes. In the end, FTR finally put the Bucks down with a Big Rig, retaining their titles and rounding off what [[Wrestling/TheWrestlingObserverNewsletter Bryan Alvarez]] called what could be the best single week any tag team has ever had in history.
