With the former Revival now finally out of WWE and seemingly
AEW bound, new details have emerged over the WWE releases of Scott Dawson and
Dash Wilder.

Select, part of the reason that WWE let both Dawson and Wilder out of their
contracts when they did – and, it’s worth noting, without enforcing a 90-day no
compete clause - was due to the multiple-time Tag Team Champions agreeing to
hand over several trademarks that they’d filed for with their own money.
If you remember, Dawson’s contract was originally due to
expire in April, while Wilder’s deal was up in June. On top of that, WWE
reportedly planned to tack on additional months to Dawson’s contract due to
time out injured.

Earlier this week, WWE filed an opposition on the Say Yeah,
Top Guys, Shatter Machine, #FTRKO, and No Flips, Just Fists trademarks.
Since being granted their WWE release on April 10, Scott
Dawson is now Dax Harwood, Dash Wilder is Cash Wheeler, and the tandem are collectively
known as the Revolt. Given how the ominous FTR letters appeared on this week’s
Being the Elite, it seems like only a matter of time before the Revolt – as in,
the best tag team on the planet – turn up to crack some skulls in All
Elite Wrestling.
