When they burst onto the scene on the Raw after WrestleMania, the Revival looked like they would breathe some life into the tag team division. And then Dash Wilder broke his jaw.

After sitting on the sidelines for a couple months, the Revival got back to throwing hands and using some old school tag team wrestling, and in the process knocked off tag team royalty in the Hardy Boyz. Dash and Scott Dawson used their double team tactics and attacks behind the ref’s back to secure the advantage and grab the win, propelling them to the top of the division.

Interestingly, that puts two heels teams at the top of the division: Revival and the Club. And considering that the champs (Sheamus & Cesaro) also are heels, it raises a question of who the next challengers would be. But for now, it’s good to see the Revival pick up where they left off.

Scott is a former journalist and longtime wrestling fan who was smart enough to abandon WCW during the Monday Night Wars the same time as the Radicalz. 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.
