#3. Hope isn't true: WWE extends Dash Wilder's contract

Dash Wilder has had a minor contract extension

Before we get to it, we must admit that this one is based more on the principle rather than the extension alone. Basically, Dash Wilder has had his contract extended by another ten weeks or two-and-a-half months because of an injury he sustained two years prior. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter wrote:

While The Revival’s contracts are up in April, WWE has extended Daniel Wheeler’s (Dash Wilder) deal by another ten weeks due to the period he was out of action in 2017 with a broken jaw.

We hope this isn't true because it comes off as a rather petty move. They did something similar to Luke Harper, except in his case, they refused to grant him his release and extended his contract by half a year.

Apparently, WWE really values The Revival and wants them to stay, which is why they're trying to extend their contract as much as they can and get them to re-sign. This probably means good things for The Revival who, creatively, are more satisfied than ever before.
