8 WWE Dropouts Who Revived Their Careers
6. FTR
It would be no exaggeration to call FTR not only one of the greatest tag teams of their generation, but also a team that is likely to go down as Hall Of Famers across the board. Having had their presentation and in-ring prowess nailed during their NXT run, their mistreatment on WWE's main roster is surely something the people in WWE must regret on a daily basis.
Having arrived in NXT as The Mechanics and then dominated as The Revival, the lasting image of these incredible athletes losing their first main roster tag team title match to Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel's B-Team, and being reduced to a back shaving skit are moments that still linger as a source of annoyance to this day. Since their release in 2020, FTR have never looked back.
Winning championships in AEW, NJPW, Ring Of Honor, and AAA, FTR have shone brightly for the past few years. Their matches with The Young Bucks, their short-lived union with CM Punk, and particularly their in-ring classics with The Briscoes, are the stuff of legends and just a few of the many highlights over the past 5 years. With no sign of slowing down, FTR remains one of the most impressive tag teams in the world today.
