Remember when The Revival were two-time former NXT Tag Team Champions and debuted on Raw and beat the New Day in their first match?

That was just a year ago. Injuries derailed their push, but now Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder are the guys who are already in the ring when Raw returns from commercial. Monday, they were awaiting the Raw Tag Team Champions, who defeated them with minimal concern, vanquishing a potential tag contender with relative ease.

Yes, you need to have wrestlers who lose to bigger names, so this isn’t a complaint that someone lost. But it’s crazy how quickly the Revival went from somebodies to just guys.

And what’s really funny is that they would be ideal opponents for Bray Wyatt and Matt Hardy, with the Deleters of Worlds being over-the-top crazy and Revival being the straightforward grapplers. It actually could be an interesting feud if given an honest shot.
