When the New Day issued an open challenge the night after WrestleMania 33, the crowd was left wondering, “Who? Who? Who? Who?”

They got their answer in the form of Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson, the old-school roughnecks known as The Revival. It was perfect timing for the former NXT Tag Team Champions to make their presence felt on Raw because the post-WrestleMania audience consisted mostly of smart fans well versed in Jim Cornette’s favorite current duo. And if casual viewers were unsure what to make of the old-school pair, they knocked down New Day’s ice cream cart to illustrate their non-nonsense demeanor.

Although injuries have plagued their main roster run, halting the momentum from their debut, The Revival proved their worth by defeating the longest-reigning WWE Tag Team Champions, and then putting Kofi Kingston on the shelf.
