8 WWE Releases To Expect In 2020

3. The Revival

If recent online reports are to be believed, The Revival have turned down new WWE deals worth a basic $700,000 per year each.

Don't get us wrong, the tandem of Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder are fantastic - the best tag team in the world, in this writer's opinion - but that's a ludicrous amount of money however you look at it. But for all intents and purposes, Dash and Dawson are less interested in the fiscal rewards of such a deal, and are said to be more keen to see renewed focus on tag team wrestling within WWE.

For this pairing, it seems a clear-cut case of either stay with WWE for a huge payday, or turn down this big bag of gold in order to seek creative fulfilment. There are merits to both scenarios, of course, and this could prove to be a pivotal moment in the career of The Revival.

As recently as this week, it's been said that WWE is preparing one last, even bigger offer to these multiple-time Tag Team Champions. With Scott Dawson's current contract up in April and Dash Wilder's to follow ten weeks later, there's a good chance that The Revival's time with WWE is in its closing stages.
