WWE Extreme Rules 2019: 5 possible finishes for The Revival vs. The Usos

On Sunday, the often looked past Raw Tag Team Champions will face arguably the greatest team of this generation, the Usos. The Raw Tag Team Championships will be on the line and history is there to be made for someone.

In recent months, the Tag Team Championships on the red brand haven’t received the same excellent billing the titles on the blue brand have. Where Daniel Bryan and Erik Rowan have elevated their show, The Revival hasn’t been given the same opportunity. However, this Sunday is their chance to show the world why they’re the tag team champions.

This is a match of highly technical wrestling ability, meaning this bout, if booked right, has the potential to steal the show. Regardless of whether it’s put on the pre-show or not, these four guys will enjoy themselves in Philadelphia. There’s much intrigue in this match simply for the fact that it could be booked in so many different ways.

Here are 5 potential finishes to The Revival vs. The Usos:

#5 Twin Magic

The Usos are a combined weight of 479 lbs

Now, this isn’t a new trick but it’s one that always gets a reaction from the WWE Universe. The Bella Twins literally built their name off this trick.

Anyway, to this day it’s still virtually impossible to tell the difference between Jimmy and Jey Uso. In addition to their exceptional wrestling ability, 'never give up' attitude and big match experience, the duo could use their unique identicality to their advantage.

In a match where The Revival try every cheating trick under the sun to retain their titles, it’d be a simple piece of twin magic that could seal the deal. All it would take is for the referee to get distracted by some outside shenanigans then Jimmy could swap in for Jey, or vice versa. Yes, The Usos are babyfaces but even good guys need some tricks to get one up on the heels sometimes.

#4 The Revival win clean

The Revival are the current Raw tag team champions

It’s about time the Top Guys got the billing and booking they deserve. Ever since rumours emerged that Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder were looking to jump ship to AEW due to their poor booking at the time.

All of a sudden, the Top Guys were made tag team champions on the main roster, the only thing they ever really wanted. On top of that, they’ve even enjoyed featured TV time with Shane McMahon himself. However, they’ve still been booked as weak cowardly heels. Now it’s time for them to show their dominance.

The Usos are one of the best tag teams in WWE history and a clean win over them would send The Revival to a different stratosphere. And rightly so, the Top Guys have been made to look like they’re hanging onto their championships for far too long, it’s time to finally establish themselves as a world-class wrestling team.

#3 The Usos win clean

The Usos have their eyes on the Raw tag team championship

Sometimes people seem to forget how good and legendary The Usos are. The Samoans are 6-time tag team champions, a number that puts in the same breath as teams like Dudley Boyz, Edge & Christian and The Hardy Boyz. That’s some company to be in, but people often forget their achievements due to their lowly bookings on PPV cards.

Rarely do the duo get to main event shows, as their talent deserves.

So, in an already illustrious career, The Usos deserve to add another pinnacle to that story. The raw tag team championships deserve to have the very best fighting over it and holding it. A clean win for The Usos would once again elevate these titles to the greatness they were intended for.

That’s not a knock on The Revival, but having The Usos as champions, brings another level of prestige to the picture. When we say clean win, we don’t mean squash, we mean an epic back and forth in a 20-minute match that allows both teams to showcase the best of their athleticism.

#2 The Revival get themselves DQ’d

The Revival beat Hawkins and Ryder for the tag team championships

As all cowardly champions, The Revival have played their characters to a tee. Their reluctance to take on fights and eagerness to do the bidding of corporate powers has made them the perfect slimy heels the WWE needs in the tag division.

To follow their trend of cowardly behaviour, The Revival could label this title defence as an abomination, thus deserving an equally diabolic performance.

As we stated earlier, The Usos are one of the greatest tag teams ever. And The Revival knows that. That’s why they’ve been ducking and dodging them for months. Now, having been forced to put their titles on the line, Dawson and Wilder are scrambling for ideas to escape the full force of the Samoans.

All it would take is for either of them to grab a steel chair and mercilessly unload on either of the twins. This would see them retain their coveted titles with no immediate obligation for a rematch.

#1 The Viking Raiders interfere

There’s a new dominant force on the scene, and their name is the War Mach—sorry, the Viking Raiders! From down in NXT, the Raiders were making headway across the WWE with many eagerly anticipating their main roster debut. They were so dominant in the developmental, that they didn’t get beat for their tag titles, they relinquished them by choice.

Since arriving, the Raiders have destroyed everything and everyone in their path. Since debuting on Raw, the Raiders have beaten the; Lucha House Party, Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson and Zack Ryder & Curt Hawkins when they were tag team champions!

It would make perfect sense for the dominant duo to find their way into the finish of this match. First of all, they want to be the supreme tag team in the division, secondly, they want to be champions. If the duo completely layout both teams then that’s a statement that the Raw commissioner cannot ignore.
