The Revival are one of the best tag teams in the world. Since joining the main roster the night after WWE Wrestlemania 33, things haven't gone too well for Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder. At first, they beat the New Day, who are former tag champs and were the hosts of that year's Wrestlemania. Good start. They then, however, were riddled with various injuries over the following year and basically did nothing in their first year on Raw.
They then requested their release from the company a few months ago and have now been given the Raw tag titles. It seems as though they could walk into Wrestlemania 35 as the tag champs, but, they may not even be on the main show this year.
They clearly want to leave the company and these here are three reasons why the should:
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
#3. To show WWE that they can be top stars elsewhere
Cody Rhodes left WWE in 2016 and in these 3 years, he has become one of the biggest names in wrestling without even being under the WWE banner. The man is now the executive vice-president of a wrestling company created by him and his friends which is funded by a multi-billionaire.
The Revival could leave and go to any big wrestling company around the world whether that is All Elite Wrestling, New Japan Pro Wrestling, Ring Of Honor or any other company of similar stature.
Wilder and Dawson could become much bigger stars if they leave and are given more creative freedom in a new company. Giving them the ability to have more control and choose opponents they want to face could tempt them to shift to the indie scene.
If their NXT matches are anything to go by, they will certainly have incredible matches with a host of teams outside the WWE. The Revival could pull a Cody Rhodes and become much bigger stars than they already are in around a year.
#2. Bad booking
If The Revival resigns with WWE, there is no guarantee that they would be booked as good or as much as they have been in recent times.
Since asking for their release, the team have been booked to win the tag titles and have been featured on the main card of PPVs. WWE obviously wants them to stay but it's not to have great matches but to prevent them from becoming valuable to any other company.
As we know, Vince McMahon can change his mind at any time. While Triple H and various others backstage will know how good The Revival are and can be if given the chance, there is a very big chance that Vince won't think in a similar manner. Leaving and going elsewhere would mean more chances of being appreciated by whatever company they choose to sign with.
#1. To join AEW
The Revival leaving the WWE and joining AEW would virtually guarantee them becoming bigger stars. It is hard to become a top star in WWE when you are a tag team. AEW stars will have no such problem.
The Young Bucks are possibly the most popular personalities on the AEW roster which means any match they have will be important, especially with great teams against whom they can have great matches. The Revival vs. The Young Bucks would undoubtedly be an amazing tag team match worthy of main eventing any AEW show.
They would have so many more chances to be bigger stars with much more focus on tag wrestling in AEW than WWE. This could be the smartest career move for the two and they wouldn't even take that big of a pay cut. If they perform as well as we know they can, WWE will be offering triple the amount they are now to get them back.
