WWE's decision to use the 25th Anniversary to have the past screw the present drew immense criticism in the moment, though it wasn't until a full year later that Harwood and Cash Wheeler formally asked for their WWE releases, doing so while still clad in their gear after wrestling on a January 2019 episode of RAW.

Anderson and Harwood continued bantering back and forth after the initial exchange. Impact Wrestling's 'Machine Gun' criticised WWE for "killing [The Revival] without even building us," saying he has "so much hatred for 5 certain people." Harwood then threw a dig at WWE's 50/50 booking policy and proposed he and Wheeler get together with Anderson and Gallows on a future Talk'n Shop podcast episode.

FTR are currently flying high in AEW, seemingly heading for a big match with The Young Bucks, while Anderson and Gallows have become one of Impact's most talked-about acts as The Good Brothers. Both teams left WWE in April.
