Automatic rematches are one trope WWE did away with late-last year, and they've stayed pretty true to it (with few exceptions) ever since. Apparently, that has since been abolished, because The Revival received an auto-title shot against New Day after losing the belts in England last week.

It would've been nice had the announcers mentioned that New Day wanted to wrestle Dash and Dawson again to prove themselves rather than relying on the tired rematch clause safety net.
