Per TRS, removing Doing It For The Art misuse and ZCEs


* DoingItForTheArt: The team ''loves'' old-school tag team wrestling, and every creative decision they make puts that first. They left WWE because they didn't feel that they took their tag team division seriously, and in AEW have made it clear that they are content with being upper-midcard heels who can put on great matches and help get other tag teams over.

* EnforcedMethodActing: During the tag team triple threat match between FTR, Roppongi Vice and United Empire at ''Forbidden Door 2022,'' Dax legitimately separated his shoulder and had to be taken to the back to get it taped up before coming back out again to continue the match. This gave the match a gripping story as Cash had to hold the line on his own while facing two other teams at the same time (including such dramatic spots as instinctively going back to his corner to try and tag out while United Empire was brutalising him, only for Dax's absence to force him to tag Roppongi Vice in instead) and resulted in a phenomenal pop when Dax came back out again for his hot tag.

Names The Same is no longer a trope


* NamesTheSame: This team's Scott Dawson must NOT be confused with the character portrayed by Creator/SamAnderson in ''Series/{{Boomtown}}''. Now that he goes by Dax Harwood, it's far easier to deal with.
