Since their debut as part of the NXT roster five years ago, The Revival have generally been booked as a serious, no-nonsense team, a pair of young men with an appreciation of old-school wrestling that belies their age. A new report, however, suggests that could be changing soon, as evidenced by a blunder on last week’s Friday Night SmackDown that might not have been accidental after all.
Citing a report from Dave Meltzer on this week’s edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Cultaholic wrote that WWE’s creative team is apparently planning to transform the former SmackDown Tag Team Champions into a comedy act. While there are reportedly “mixed feelings” regarding the plan and there’s still a chance WWE will change its mind, Meltzer noted that Revival member Dash Wilder’s fall on the December 13 episode of SmackDown was the start of the duo’s transition to a less serious gimmick.
