WrestleMania 35 is almost upon on, and WWE's biggest show of the year boasts a bumper card that currently has sixteen matches on it. It's going to be quite the epic wrestling show with several marquee matches like Ronda Rousey Vs Becky Lynch Vs Charlotte, Seth Rollins Vs Brock Lesnar, Triple H Vs Batista and Kofi Kingston Vs Daniel Bryan.

However, one of the more interesting matches, one that was announced fairly randomly as a last minute thing, is the Raw Tag Team Championship match between champions Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder, The Revival and challengers Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder, formerly known as The Major Brothers.

The match is interesting for a couple of reasons. Firstly, the Revival's future in the WWE still seems up in the air since it was reported that they'd asked for their release, but had conceded to give WWE time to prove to them that they considered the tag-team division to be important. It's possible that the outcome of this match will determine their future in the company.

Secondly, the losing streak of Curt Hawkins has reached legendary length and Zack Ryder has made it his mission to end his partner's misfortunes. Were Ryder and Hawkins to end their losing streak by winning the titles at WrestleMania, I'm sure the crowd would become unglued.

With all of that in mind, let's take a look at the five potential finishes for the Raw Tag-Team Championship match between these two teams.


#5. Revival win clean

Many consider Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder to be among the best tag-team wrestlers in the world, but they've had little chance to show it so far during their WWE tenure.

However, things have been improving slightly since they won the title belts, with a bigger focus placed on the tag-team division both at house shows, where they've had alleged classic matches with Chad Gable and Bobby Roode, and on television where they've defended their titles against a variety of opponents.

Whilst Ryder and Hawkins as a tag-team should not be underestimated, especially as it's easy to forget they too have been tag-team champions, I'd like to see Revival cement their dominance on 'The Grandest Stage of Them All' with a good clean win after a match that exceeds people's expectations.

#4. Squash

Curt Hawkins' losing streak has been a wild ride to follow from his early origins, to its now somewhat epic status. During this time Hawkins has attempted to break his duck in a number of ways, but quite often finds himself getting squashed or surprised by his opponents.

If WWE have decided now isn't the time to pull the trigger on ending the losing streak of Hawkins, and now Ryder, then there's every chance they'll make the decision to have the current champions win the match quickly with a squash.

Dawson and Wilder isolating Hawkins with a couple of moves and then finishing things with the Shatter Machine while a hapless Ryder looks on would also tell a good story for the reunited Major Brothers going forward.

#3. Ryder and Hawkins win clean

Again, with Revival wanting a bigger spotlight placed on the tag-team division and Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins being better wrestlers than most people give them credit for, there's every chance the two teams could pleasantly surprise everyone and put on a great tag-team match.

No shenanigans, no cheating, no run-ins, just two teams going one-on-one until there's a winner. But what if instead of Wilder and Dawson emerging victorious after a hard-fought bout we get the surprising, yet deserved, victory of Ryder and Hawkins.

That would be the best way to end the losing streak for me, no tricks, no sudden unexpected roll-up, but by having Hawkins and Ryder win fair-and-square, by having them out-wrestle their opponents.

#2. The Revival quit the WWE - laying down for their opponents

Will Revival quit the WWE in spectacular fashion?

I don't personally want this to happen, as I said in the last slide, I'd prefer to have Ryder and Hawkins with the titles and end their losing streak with their wrestling skills, not with outside forces. But I'll admit it'd be a pretty great moment for Revival to follow through with their threats to leave and gift Hawkins the win that's alluded him for so long in doing so.

Imagine it, the bell rings and then both Wilder and Dawson just get in the ring and lay down. Hawkins tentatively pins them and then the former Raw Tag-Team Champions cut a promo backstage saying they gave WWE time to prove the tag-team division was important and they failed.

Truth is, no-one actually really knows whether or not Wilder and Dawson will stay with WWE long term, but even if they are, this would be a pretty decent storyline to head towards because there is that element of doubt surrounding how much of it is real-life.

#1. Former champions return

What if the Authors of Pain returned and ruined the match?
What if the Authors of Pain returned and ruined the match?

I've saved the most random and least likely to happen until last. But, what if The Authors of Pain made their dramatic returns following an injury to demolish both Revival and Ryder and Hawkins on 'The Grandest Stage of Them All'. Making a grand statement.

I'd personally enjoy this because the dominant NXT tag-team had their main roster title reign cut short (and also derailed by completely nonsense booking involving then manager Drake Maverick peeing his pants)

It doesn't have to be the Authors of Pain either, Chad Gable and Bobby Roode could also run -in and get involved in the match, rendering it a no contest. Heck, you could even have the B Team do it!
