Cash also laid out for WWE: The Revival didn't especially want to become Raw Tag-Team Champs.

Dax remembers those words coming out of his partners mouth, and he elaborated; Cash didn't think the titles meant anything in January 2019 anyway. The previous year, WWE had taken a dump all over their importance by having Braun Strowman steamroll through The Bar and then win the belts with a 10-year old kid at WrestleMania.

The lack of true focus on anything but comedy depressed The Revival to the point that they felt they had to make a stand. Cash told WWE their unhappiness didn't stem from a lack of personal gain. Instead, they wanted everyone in the division to get some shine and look good.

The Revival were concerned that the state of the Raw Tag Titles would reflect poorly on them too. They thought they'd be viewed as failures automatically because the straps weren't credible to fans, and worried their efforts would be a waste of time.
