FTR (Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler) will compete at NJPW Battle Autumn.
In a tweet on October 24, New Japan Pro-Wrestling shared a video in which Harwood and Wheeler announced that they are finally coming to Japan for the Battle Autumn show on November 5. The duo wondered which team will step up and face them; as of this writing, their opponents have not been announced. In the video, FTR made it clear that they wanted to face NJPW's best.
FTR won the IWGP Tag Team Championship by defeating United Empire (Great-O-Khan & Jeff Cobb) and Roppongi Vice (Trent Beretta & Rocky Romero) at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door.
