10 Booking Directions Heading Into WWE Payback 2017

10. A Hit And Run

On NXT, The Revival were spectacularly over as heels because of their ruthless and uncaring attitude towards their opponents’ wellbeing. Rather than fighting fair, they would routinely try to take their opponents out of the equation before or after matches, or in backstage segments, usually by injuring their legs.

It made Dash and Dawson look tough as hell, stopped the two teams from constantly fighting to the point of saturation, and made you want to root for the injured babyfaces that much more. This was a flawless dynamic, and one that should essentially be copied beat for beat on the main roster.

Having already attempted to injure The New Day, the Top Guys should now turn their attention to recently crowned number one contenders Sheamus and Cesaro, who were quite possibly the most popular thing on a RAW that also featured Finn Bálor, Kurt Angle and The Hardy Boyz. By injuring the current challengers, The Revival can worm their way into a contender’s match of their own, before applying the same gruesome methods on champions Matt and Jeff Hardy.

It would leave the RAW Tag Team division with several strong claimants to the titles, all of whom garner strong reactions from the crowd.
