Great tag-team wrestling, you say? Look no further than The Revival.

They did everything in their power to crown Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins the new Raw Tag Champs during WrestleMania 35's pre-show. This kind of lower card gold is exactly what any Kickoff should be; fans flooding into MetLife Stadium were all in on the lovable losers grabbing some belts.

The then-Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson grafted hard to fill the heel role and give their counterparts someone meaningful to beat. This, if the card was formatted correctly, should've 'headlined' the pre-show, not that Z-list celebrity love-in Battle Royal that featured the Saturday Night Live goofs.

Ryder and Hawkins, who had grown up childhood WWF fans, had to be in heaven upon winning the tag titles at 'Mania. This is the kind of memory they can point towards with a grin when they eventually hang up the boots and call it a career.
