After all the denigrations from Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson for reciting tag teams of yesteryear, the Revival took pages from those great teams of the past and put them to use Monday night.

The Club mocked Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson for being a couple of guys who simply ticked off former tag team greats, but the Revival used a lot of heel tag tactics to win, including jumping their opponents before the match. Dash & Dawson also used misdirection and a blind tag to topple Anderson with a Shatter Machine.

This mini-rivalry has been fine for the time being, but hopefully this isn’t going to become WWE’s newest pet 50/50 project, where they continue trading wins in a never-ending battle to “build momentum” in a “stacked and competitive tag team division.” Someone needs to “win” and move on to a title shot.
