3. The Revival

Their name really does say it all. These guys believe they're resurrecting the old school style of tag team wrestling and, if you've watched any of their matches, it's hard to argue against that.

"No flips, just fists" is an appropriate - if a bit cheesy - slogan for the duo, who favour an effective mat-based style over the flash and pomp of most of their peers.

The first classic team that springs to mind when watching Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder work over their opponents is The Brain Busters. Not only are they extremely fluid in the ring, but they have a knack for doing all those little things that Arn did as a heel to get heat from the crowd.

They might not be the most exciting tandem in the business, but they never fail to put on an engaging match.

The fact that they're currently the only developmental team to hold the NXT Tag Championship on multiple occasion speaks to the WWE's trust in their long-term potential. Whenever they eventually move up into the main roster, look for them to enjoy a long and prosperous run as the top heel faction.
