Let me start by saying that The Revival is one of the best tag teams in the WWE, and despite that, they haven't got the opportunity at the tag team titles on Raw for a long time.
Despite the fact that they have captured gold on the main roster once, the team has asked for their release from the company, and I can't blame them. They have showcased their talent on the yellow brand and were a force to be reckoned with before they were moved to lame storylines on the main roster.
This raises questions on the way the company treats its talent on the main roster, and in this article, I discuss the possible reasons why this release will not be good for the company.
#1 Raises doubts at the Performance Center
Every wrestler wishes to work with the WWE someday, but if this is the way the company treats its best talents, the trainees at the performance center will have second thoughts about joining the company's program, and if they will get the right direction when they move up the ladder.
With Matt Bloom and his staff working round the clock to give trainees the best in class training, this release will leave a bad impression on everyone's mind, which will ultimately affect the overall product.
The company has invested a lot in the performance center, and has opened its center in the UK as well, but if this is the treatment at the end of the day, we may see a dip in attendees, and the overall applications to work with the WWE.
The company has a lot riding on the new talent, but if they back out or take this as an experience of how they would be treated down the road, things could turn bad for the WWE.
#2 NXT Talent may not accept a call up
These 6 superstars have been called up to the main roster due to their impeccable performance and connection with the fans, but if the work done with The Revival is any indication, we may see a lot of superstars turn down the offer of a call-up.
We did see these call-ups appear in different segments on Raw and SmackDownLive, but apart from unexpected cameos, they haven't been utilized by the company in the right way possible. A lot of this has to do with the company stating that the wrestlers need to become familiar with fans on the main roster before they get involved in a storyline.
This is not really what you expect when you get a call-up, and if this continues to be the way wrestlers are treated, we could see some more wrestlers asking for release.
#3 Create Negative Image for the WWE
WWE is considered as the wrestling juggernaut, but this set of treatment will not only make the wrestlers but also the fans stop believing in the overall product. We have seen this in the past when the fans turned on the WWE Network and cost the company as a lot of subscriptions were canceled.
The same did happen when Daniel Bryan didn't win the Royal Rumble and when the company decided to do its show in Saudi Arabia.
With so much happening in the world of professional wrestling, and AEW looking at every opportunity to pick business from their biggest rival, we may see not just wrestlers leaving but also businesses taking less interest in an association with the granddaddy of the wrestling business.
So if WWE were to make things better, it is better to prepare and prevent than to repair and repent.
