TRS of AT1 Notes

Evening,

I've been reading up on the articles about Goldman offering clients TR Swaps to bet against European troubled lender's high yield AT1 notes.

However, I can't quite get the mechanics.

In my view, the buyer of the TRS is going long on the underlying without the exposure/risk.

The seller, sure, may receive the depreciation but ultimately owns the underlying note - how is that betting against? That's just a hedge to me...

Thoughts?
