We’ve come a long way from Ucey Hot.

Does anyone know if The Revival signed new contracts with WWE? Because they’ve suddenly gone from weekly humiliation to winning their second Raw Tag Team Championship Monday night. The duo defeated the hapless Zack Ryder & Curt Hawkins in a triple threat after the Usos did 90% of the work, with Scott Dawson getting a blind tag and the pin.

The win accomplished a lot. It got the titles off a team that had zero heat with fans and put them on a duo capable of having solid matches with anyone who have shown they can be entertaining. Dash Wilder and Dawson also have aligned themselves with Shane McMahon, which for better or worse puts them in a bigger spotlight.

So we’ll be cautiously optimistic here for this one, but this was a nice turn of events Monday night.

He fortunately became a fan in time for WrestleMania III and came back as a fan after a long high school hiatus before WM XIV. Monday nights in the Carlson household are reserved for viewing Raw -- for better or worse.
