11 Ups And 8 Downs From WWE Royal Rumble 2018
Ups...
11. Revival Gets Retribution
As abysmal as the tag team “match” between Balor Club and the Revival was on Raw 25 last week, this writer was comforted by the fact that a lot of what happens on reunion shows are ignored or overwritten later.
That’s kind of what happened Sunday when the Revival picked up a win over Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson by capitalizing on Anderson’s injured knee. The kickoff show match wasn’t anything special, but with Scott Dawson & Dash Wilder just returning to the main roster, they needed a win here. Losing twice like this would have sent them down the pecking order.
It’s a shame Gallows & Anderson had to lose as they had only recently gotten their footing under themselves again, but they can fall back on being part of a bigger thing with Balor Club and recover from the loss easier.
