FTR Explains Why They Attacked Cope; Nigel McGuinness Saves Tony Schiavone From Piledriver On AEW Collision

FTR explained why they attacked Adam Copeland and then tried to attack another legend of wrestling, Tony Schiavone.

Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler, FTR, attacked Cope at AEW Dynasty and opened the April 12 episode of AEW Collision to explain why. Wheeler said the attack wasn't premeditated, but after watching the way that Cope moved backstage, he felt that he was only being selfish. Harwood followed up by saying that he wanted Cope to retire after a long run with Rated FTR but felt Cope was more concerned with reliving his glory days as a single competitor.

They then turned their attention to Tony Schiavone. They called him into the ring, and despite Nigel McGuinness's best pleas, Tony went into the ring and told Harwood to his face that he wondered what his daughter was subjected to when she went to school, knowing that her dad had turned on one of his best friends.

That led to FTR putting Tony in the pile driver position, at which point Nigel shot up from the announce and entered the ring. While FTR was jawjacking with Nigel, Daniel Garcia came up from behind them and was accidentally shoved to the floor by Cash Wheeler. FTR, we hugged Danny, hugged him, and apologized profusely as they left the ring.
