WWE Raw: 10 Things You Might Have Missed (Aug 8)

7. Michael Cole's Announcement About The Revival

The Revival

Last week, The Revival were content to sit off to the side of the announce desk instead of being menacing heels and booting others from behind it. This week, they're on the shelf due to Scott Dawson's bicep injuries. Since being promoted from NXT to the main roster, Dash Wilder and Dawson have struggled to maintain any level of consistency. The Revival just can't stay healthy.

Michael Cole referenced Dawson's need for immediate surgery on Raw, but didn't linger on that point before moving on. Unless you pay attention to every single piece of news out there, this one may have slipped your net. All these injuries (first, Wilder's jaw and now Dawson's arm) are hurting The Revival's chances on Raw.

They were set for a feud with The Hardy Boyz, but that will likely be scrapped until Dawson has recovered. WWE might just can the entire idea if that takes too long, which means The Revival will miss out on a feud that could've helped establish them as a top heel team.
