4	* Enzo and Cass put on their best match ever against Dash and Dawson at ''NXT [=TakeOver=]: London'' for the titles, only losing when the champs started to go after Cass's previously injured knee and slammed Enzo from the top rope. Carmella also elbowed Dawson in the face when he tried to use her as a human shield.
5	* American Alpha wins the Tag Team titles at ''NXT [=TakeOver=]: Dallas'' in an excellent opener over The Revival.
6	* The Revival vs. American Alpha 2 out of 3 falls match on the 6/7 edition of NXT. Once again these teams put on an incredible match.
7	* After a hard and brutal match, they become the first 2X NXT Tag Team Champions after beating American Alpha at ''NXT [=TakeOver=]: The End''.
8	* The Revival had another classic tag match at ''NXT [=TakeOver=]: Brooklyn 2'', this time using a bit of sneakiness to beat #DIY (Wrestling/JohnnyGargano and Wrestling/TommasoCiampa).
9	* ''NXT [=TakeOver=]: Toronto'' gave us what has been hailed as possibly the best NXT or even WWE tag match ever, with a 2/3 falls match between #DIY and Wrestling/TheRevival for the NXT Tag team championship.
10	* The Revival vs #DIY vs The Authors of Pain at ''NXT [=TakeOver=]: Orlando''.
11	* Their debut on the main roster: Wrestling/TheNewDay were in the ring (with Xavier and Kofi wearing shoulder pads like Wrestling/TheRoadWarriors, [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments except in pastel colors and with ice cream cones instead of spikes]]) lamenting the fact that they didn't have a match at ''Wrestling/WrestleMania 33'' the previous night. So they issued an open challenge to any tag team in the locker room. The next thing we hear: [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic SAY YEAAAH!]]
12	* The Revival's tag team championship match against Ziggler and [=McIntyre=].
13	* 11/20/19, where The Revival and Wrestling/TheUndisputedEra's Wrestling/BobbyFish & Wrestling/KyleOReilly put on a tag team classic for 25 minutes, including giving, in addition to their regular moves like the Shatter Machine, they hit Fish with a double knee smash variant of DIY's finisher.
14	* At the 2019 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony, a fan (who turned out to be MMA fighter Zach Madsen) rushed into the ring and tackled Wrestling/BretHart during the induction speech for The Hart Foundation. As many wrestlers restrained the fan and attended to Bret and his niece, Wrestling/{{Natalya\|Neidhart}} (who also took a bump when Bret got tackled), Wilder got the a huge reaction from the crowd when he gave the fan a [[AssholeVictim well-deserved]] punch in the face as he was being dragged out of the arena.
15	* FTR make their debut in AEW and have a standoff with Wrestling/TheYoungBucks. Fans of both teams have long been clamoring for a match between them.
16	* FTR making their AEW in ring debut against The Butcher and The Blade on the June 10, 2020 Dynamite.
17	* FTR and SCU putting on an absolute clinic in tag team wrestling on the June 24, 2020 Dynamite.
18	* [[CueTheFlyingPigs FTR teaming up with The Young Bucks]] to take on Wrestling/LuchaBrothers, The Butcher and The Blade in an absolutely insane 8-man tag match at ''AEW Fyter Fest 2020 Night 2''.
19	* FTR saving The Elite from an attack by The Dark Order on the July 29, 2020 Dynamite.
20	* FTR becoming the new AEW Tag Team Champions ending Omega and Page's 200+ day reign.
21	* FTR taking on Jurassic Express on the September 16, 2020 Dynamite.
22	* FTR and The Young Bucks having their long awaited dream match at AEW Full Gear 2020. Dax Harwood and Matt Jackson both said that the world would rejoice when the two teams finally faced each other and we certainly did.
23	* FTR becoming the first tag team to be ranked #1 in Pro Wrestling Illustrated's Top 50 Tag Teams.
24	* FTR, along with MJF, Shawn Spears, Wardlow and Tully Blanchard, brutally attacking The Inner Circle on the March 10, 2021 Dynamite.
25	* FTR and their new stable The Pinnacle taking on Inner Circle in the first ever Blood and Guts match. While obviously no one was disemboweled, the match was a brutal, bloody tribute to the original War Games matches of the 1980s.
26	* Being the ones to finally end the record-breaking (853 days!) title reign of the Wrestling/LuchaBrothers on the 16th October 2021 episode of ''Dynamite'', becoming the new Wrestling/{{AAA}} Tag Team Champions.
27	* 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 Wrestling/TheBriscoeBrothers. 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.
28	* Only five days after the ''Supercard of Honor'' match, FTR (now fully babyface in defiance of everyone's expectations, and white-hot) took 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.
29	* At ''Forbidden Door 2022'', 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.
30	** 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:
31	--->[[https://twitter.com/DaxFTR/status/1541582683301715969 Separated shoulder? Bite a towel and rub some tequila on it. It’ll be fine.]]
32	* 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.
33	** As mentioned above, 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.
34	** At ''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, something The Briscoes were known for their speciality of sweeping 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, then won the near-45-minute '''war''' to retain the belts with a pair of ''apocalyptic'' moves- first Cash taking out Mark with a side suplex off the ring apron through the SpanishAnnouncersTable, then Dax finally finishing Jay with a ''second rope jumping spike piledriver!''
35	** Finally the feud came to a brutal climax at ''Final Battle 2022'' as the two teams clashed in wrestling's first ever ''double dog collar match,'' with Dax chained to Jay Briscoe and Cash shackled to Mark. Both teams used every ounce of 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]]!''
36	* FTR taking on Jay White and Juice Robinson in an absolute barnburner of a tag match on the July 8, 2023 Collision.
37	* 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]].
38	* FTR defending their tag titles against the odd couple tag team of Adam Cole and Dax and Cash's old Pinnacle stablemate MJF on the July 29, 2023 Collision.
39	* FTR defending their tag titles against their arch rivals, The Young Bucks in front of 80,000 people in Wembley Stadium at AEW All In. The two teams threw all they had each other until in the end, FTR countered a Meltzer Driver into a Shatter Machine to win the match and the trilogy in an incredible match.
40	* FTR teaming up with their arch-rivals the Young Bucks to take on Bullet Club Gold's Jay White, Juice Robinson and The Gunns in an absolutely insane eight man tag match at AEW All Out 2023.
