#3: FTR
It is hard to look back on the WWE career of The Revival and not feel that the talented duo was not allowed to reach their full potential. Following an incredible run in NXT that saw them wrestle classic matches with the likes of DIY and American Alpha, fans of the old school team were salivating at the thought of the pair reviving the stale tag team on the main roster. Incredible matches were ahead for the two-time NXT tag team champions with the likes of The Usos.

The team finally made their WWE main roster debut in 2017 on the post-WrestleMania Raw and the audience greeted them with a thunderous ovation. The bloom quickly fell from the rose and it wasn’t long before The Revival was on the losing end of a beat down courtesy of veteran members of the infamous Kliq.
Even when the duo was paired against with the aforementioned Samoan tag team, it was mostly played for laughs with segments dedicated to Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder shaving each other’s backs & a bizarre skit where The Usos poured a substance dubbed “Ucy Hot” onto The Revival’s ring gear prompting them to skid across the ring feigning intense irritability at the supposed heat.
Despite capturing the WWE tag team titles, it seemed that The Revival would not be permitted to achieve the same acclaim on the main roster as they had in NXT and reports quickly surfaced that both men were looking to get out of their WWE contracts.
After a long period of speculation the tag team was released in April 2020 and now compete as FTR on Wednesday nights over on AEW Dynamite, where they are currently building toward a long desired matched between them and The Young Bucks.
Recently it emerged that during their final conversation with Vince McMahon, the WWE Chairman apologized for the creative system being broken when the team pointed out that they had been submitting story ideas to the creative team. FTR would reveal their suggestions were never passed along to McMahon.
