10 WWE Wrestlers Poised To Break Out In 2018

3. The Revival

Poor old Dash and Dawson. No sooner had The Revival debuted on the main roster than the former was shot down by injury, suffering a fractured jaw while competing at a house show. They returned, but Dawson followed suit, rupturing his bicep soon after his partner's comeback, thus killing all hopes the celebrated NXT duo had of making a main roster impact in 2017.

A unluckier set of Superstars you won't find, but on the plus side, The Revival now look set to explode in 2018. Sure, they haven't done much since returning earlier this month, but December is WWE's annual 'take it easy' period. The company don't traditionally heat anyone up during this period, and Dash and Dawson's curbed momentum is in-line with everyone else in the promotion, though 2018 will likely send them stratospheric.

Simply put, the duo are one of the absolute best tag teams in the world, and WWE's renewed focus on the division should place them on a pedestal. Star-making matches with the likes of The Bar and Jason Jordan/Seth Rollins await: if they're half as strong as The Revivals' best NXT work, Dash and Dawson will be among WWE's biggest stars come summer.
