Last week, The Revival confronted special referee Curt Hawkins for catching them trying to cheat in their Raw Tag Team Championship match. Zack Ryder saved his old tag partner, givig us a match on Monday night.

WWE did a nice job recapping the former Major Brothers and Edgeheads (as Ryder and Hawkins were known once upon a time), leading you to believe that this reformed tag team meant something… and then they lost to the Revival.

Granted, Hawkins has a 256-match losing streak to maintain, but this was just odd booking, building a new team up and jobbing them immediately.
