Apparently The Revival not accepting WWE’s offer last night is what led to the back shaving skit and losing to Hawkins and Ryder again.
WWE’s offer to Joey Ryan is said to be “nothing special” and they mostly want to keep him away from AEW.
Well they have a year left.So they're basically on their way out, then?
"We don't like how you turned down our latest contract offer because you aren't happy with your booking.....so we're going to show you how bitter we are by booking you even worse. That'll show you."
Well they have a year left.
There's still a year left on their contract?!
I thought they were trying to get out like in January, maybe even earlier. Why is WWE in such a hurry to re-sign them? Hell, if I was that unhappy with the booking and the overall atmosphere VInce has created backstage, I'd walk out. **** the contract.
Then they’ll freeze your deal and good luck fighting it when they have way more money at their disposal than the talents do, and good luck working elsewhere with a frozen contract with WWE.There's still a year left on their contract?!

Just give the push the Revival were going to get to War Raiders or even the Street Prophits or Heavy Machinery.
Revival have become so overrated because of AEW. I don't even see why Vince is so hard up on keeping them.
I liked them in NXT but they got over because of Alpha and DIY, heck push AOP then.
These guys were lucky, they could still be in NXT having the crowd chant who is Dash who is Dawson. LOL I remember Dawson and his trailer park gimmick feuding with Enzo back in the day. They had 2 super over babyface teams to work with and made them look like a million bucks.
Let them go to AEW, as much as their gimmick is they are top guys they are far from it. Dawson does have the talent but Dash is a dime a dozen CAW wrestler. If they don't want to be there then push the tag teams that do.
He's old.LOL at the Joey Ryan stuff. Why make an offer if it's not serious, and why make an offer that you know won't beat AEW just to keep him away from there?
This is such a dumb take. They’re one of the best tag teams in the world for a reason and they can’t even do what they do best on the main roster because main roster matches are booked a certain way. The entire basis of your argument is stuff that happened 3+ years ago when the reality is, all those teams you mentioned wouldn’t have gotten over without The Revival being so f***ing good.Just give the push the Revival were going to get to War Raiders or even the Street Prophits or Heavy Machinery.

So the reality is you just like gimmicks as opposed to good wrestling? Because if you watch some of their matches, they tear the house down. They are exactly what tag team wrestling should be about.

As soon as they were starting to get the chance they needlessly drop the titles to a team who’s been in a match less than a handful of times since winning them.
I’m convinced you only pop in here once in a blue moon to say something egregious and play contrarian to rile people up.
@scrubadam thats what happens when you have one guy who doesn’t value them at all and just wants to keep them away from other promotions in an attempt to kill them off (admitting they’re valuable in some way, this is Vince) and a second guy who values them because he knows how damn good they are and wants them to stay to make their product better rather than hoard talent unnecessarily (HHH).
Ehhh. WWE doesn't do tag teams well...they're essentially repeating the B Team story but with Ryder and Hawkins. Likeable tag team of established losers defies all odds and achieves some success through luck and a drop of talent.
They have so many good tag teams and they just can't make it work. A lot of the blame for that is on the brand split...a lot is on creative and a lot is the unnecessary split of teams. On a roster that has War Raiders, The Bar (presumably?), Revival, Good Brothers, Usos, New Day, hopefully Breezango soon and whoever else in NXT, etc...there's no reason Ryder/Hawkins (or previously the B Team) should be a thing...or in the very least...a thing this long.
Thats why I think they should let them go, they aren't worth the hassel. Even if they stay and get a push, once that stops they will be right back at square one. Its not a good relationship between the 2 parties.
Same with Sasha, just let her go.
Neither of them are Austin/Rock type stars. WWE has like 800 wrestlers under contract between all the brands, if wrestlers are unhappy there are plenty waiting to take their place.
I don't see how the brand split is to blame at all. They have an abundance of tag teams if they wanted. Teams like the Good Bros, Sanity, Heavy Machinery, etc aren't used.... for no reason.
Vince doesn't value tag team wrestling. He'd rather comedy teams be used then actual, technical tag teams.
Uso's move back to RAW and now they are spying on Revival in the showers and singing their entrance music.
Good Bro's just haven't been used, and the list time they were, they were doing comedic skits about being doctors.
New Day, is a comedic act that works because of the talent.
Heavy Machinery are just background dancers at this point, used for comedy.
Hawkins/Ryder are a pair of losers who lucked into the tag titles... essentially comedy
B Team? Full comedy
Breezango? Used as a comedy team
War Raiders? Have already been turned into a meme
Revival? Now are jobbers and losing to other comedy teams.
Vince doesn't think Tag Teams are worth anything.
