#2 The Revival (FTR) believed Vince McMahon didn't like tag team wrestling in WWE
Trending
The Revival was seen by many as a top tag team in WWE. Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson had a good time in WWE NXT after which they were moved to the main roster. However, the two men struggled to find their footing on RAW or SmackDown and failed to make a huge impact on the main roster, in the long run.
The Revival was released from their contract in 2020, and fans saw that as a major surprise. However, Wilder and Dawson had been looking for a release from the company and the duo had expressed their displeasure at their creative direction.

The Revival joined AEW soon after and was rebranded as FTR. The duo was interviewed by journalist Stephanie Chase, and they made the surprising confession that Vince McMahon is probably not a big fan of tag team wrestling.
"Cash and myself, we both worked in 2019 more than any — we had more matches than any other talent in the WWE. So they kept us booked because they knew we’d work hard on the live events, but if that were a problem, they wouldn’t have us in 155 matches in 2019, and then there’s the talk of, ‘Well they have to pay two talents.’ Yeah, they had to pay two talents but me and Cash were also two of the least paid guys in 2019. We worked the most and got paid the least, so I don’t believe that. It’s just an opinion that Vince McMahon has on tag team wrestling. He owns the company, it’s his playground, it’s his money and that’s okay. There’s things that I don’t like and if I owned a company, I wouldn’t — if I owned a coffee company, there’s no way I would serve gas station coffee, you know? It’s just not what I enjoy, and I just think he [Vince] just doesn’t enjoy tag team wrestling.”
The confessions revealed why WWE has been so lackluster in terms of booking their tag team division. Hopefully, WWE's creative staff has taken the criticism constructively so they can work on making their tag team division better in the future.
