The Revival are still the best Tag Team on the planet
Sudden, fast and dominant. Only a few attributes Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder, better known as The Revival, brought to the table in the past. Since arriving to RAW, like most Tag Teams from NXT before they them, they have been watered down, but this time WWE are actively hurting their own Tag Team Division, by not exploiting the incredible Tag Team Wrestling skills of Dash and Dawson.
No Flips, Just Fists is more than a catchphrase, it is a approach to life. When Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder were put together in NXT, nobody but them thought they will be by players. But they made 'The Revival' their own. Taking their inspiration from past tag teams like the Fabulous Freebirds, The Brain Busters and The Midnight Express and bringing it to modern day wrestling is an accomplishment on it's own. But making it work is a whole other topic. But the talent of Dawson and Dash did it. The truly revived Tag Team Wrestling on NXT. They became two-time NXT Tag Team Champions and become the most celebrated Tag Team Act around the world. Their awesome Tag Team Finish, The Shatter-Machine, brought the defintive end to all of their jaw-dropping matches with teams like American Alpha, DIY and Authors of Pain. The Revival are everywhere during their matches, doing everything in their power to stop their opponents to make the tag. Revival brought 'cutting the ring in half' back to the promise land. All that mixed with fantastic technical maneuvers and submission wrestling made The Revival TOP GUYS.
The Revival then arrived on RAW and it was all gone. First Dash Wilder broke his jaw, then Scott Dawson injured his leg. Now both are back, but WWE won't put them into a storyline anymore.
The RAW Tag Team Division currently features two singles wrestlers that just recently came together as their Champions in Bray Wyatt and Matt Hardy while Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler, another team of singles wrestlers, seem to be the Champions' biggest threat. A new team is also 'The B-Team', the former Miztourage (Curtis Axel and Bo Dallas) who also make waves in the Tag Team Division now. That leaves little or no space of the established team of Wilder and Dawson, which is a pure and utter shame, because The Revival could boost RAW's Tag Team Division to new levels. We can only hope that WWE sees the light before the candle went out for good.
