Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson might be set to become more of a comedy duo than a serious tag-team. According to a recent report from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, plans are in place to have the Revival become a spoof of a famous 80s tag-team, with Wilder’s tripping during his entrance recently being part of this direction.
“The booking plan on Smackdown is to turn The Revival into comedy characters,” wrote Dave Meltzer. “There are mixed feelings on this for obvious reasons and it still may get shot down, but the deal where Wilder tripped and fell during the ring entrance was supposed to be the start of it.”
The report continues to state that the comedy routine would be a spoof on the Fabulous Ones.
The Revival’s WWE Contract Situation
Earlier this year, the Revival reportedly turned down 5-year contracts with WWE. It had also been reported back in January that they had requested their releases from the company. Their contracts with the company are believed to be up in the next few months, likely around WrestleMania.
It had also been reported recently that Randy Orton pitched ideas to management about a faction involving him and the tag team.
