10 Absolute Best Matches WWE Can Promote In 2019

8. The Revival Vs. The Usos

The Revival’s deal, as disclosed by Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, runs until 2020—and since The Revival Vs. The Young Bucks doesn’t even need a build, since the Elite have booked Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson more effectively than WWE despite not even employing them, there is zero chance of management granting their release request.

Supposedly promised a push of sorts, this hasn’t really happened. Dawson was put into a worse, makeshift tag team at the Royal Rumble, if that counts.

Post-AmbroseGate, WWE is purportedly intent on convincing its acts to sign new long-term deals for preposterous sums of money. If money doesn’t motivate The Revival, a serious programme with a top five worldwide tag team might.

Enter The Usos.

Laid out effectively, this would rule. The Revival would surely relish devising creative means of suffocating a team as springy and as garishly modern as the Usos. Jimmy and Jey in turn, forced into unleashing yet another layer of the creativity that has seen them not jump the shark despite wrestling the New Day about a million f*cking times, would relish superkicking Wilder halfway across the ring as he sets up for the Shatter Machine.

Plus, the Usos do superkicks a lot, so it’s almost the same thing.
