The Revival were seen as one of the best tag teams in WWE while coming through the ranks in NXT. When Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder finally made their way to the main roster, they did not have the same impact as many had expected them to have.

The former Tag Team Champions were not given the opportunities that would make them megastars on the main roster. They later confirmed following their release that they regularly pitched ideas that were rejected by the creative team.

By January 2019 the two former Champion had given up with the company and requested their release before retweeting that they would wrestle The Young Bucks one day. The duo's request was denied and they were forced to remain with WWE. But after the request, they were handed the SmackDown Tag Team Championships.

The former WWE stars gave WWE a few months to change plans before requesting their release from the company again at the beginning of 2020. This time around The Revival was given their release in April 2020. The duo who are now known as Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood have been part of AEW since May 2020.
