The Revival turned down a six-figure deal

#2. Negotiation tactics

This is another obvious one where you can't really blame The Revival. They're in a very interesting position and the reaction they got after asking for a release last time was certainly interesting too.

You can be sure that with rumours of them refusing to re-sign, other companies such as ROH, NJPW and AEW will be seeking The Top Guys, ready to push them to the top of their tag team division.

They're a no-nonsense old school team that can succeed practically anywhere, which is why they will likely have offers or if not, will be waiting for more. Also, stalling on re-signing the contracts gives them more leverage and they're either going to negotiate their salaries or the length of their contract.

One would think that they will try to negotiate the years down to 2 and their salaries even higher. We wouldn't be surprised if they got it too.
