The Revival needed something exciting to shake things up. As did Randy Orton after the dud match against Kingston at SummerSlam 2019. I really, really like the pairing between the two parties.

I'll write a more in-depth article later during the day, but let me just say at this time that there's much to like about this heel alliance. For once, all three of the men involved prefer fists to flips. All three of them are devious heels, and Orton gets to be a faction leader for a change.

I've had a chance to interact with Scott Dawson in the past and there's probably nobody in wrestling who's as passionate about the sport (or art form, sorry Jim Cornette) than he is. With Orton in their midst, we got to see how innovatively they were able to change up the RKO, adding their own unique flavor to the proceedings.
