For the past three months, the B-Team has scraped by with dumb luck, going undefeated as a tag team during that time.

It would have been one thing for them to be lucky and still win with skill, but they were the wrestling equivalent of Inspector Clouseau, literally stumbling backward into victories.

That all ended Monday night, as The Revival defeated them cleanly with a Shatter Machine to Curtis Axel. Interestingly, it wasn’t played up as the end of their undefeated streak, which it should have been.

It’s also worth noting that the Toronto fans, who had been hot all night, sat on their hands for much of the match, including when Axel got the “hot” tag.
