9: The Revival's main roster tag team push
The Revival were one of the best tag teams in all of WWE for the better part of two years. Their matches with the likes of American Alpha and #DIY are now the stuff of legend, and there were hopes that they would replicate their NXT success on the main roster.
Unfortunately, this never came to pass, as both members suffered injuries at different times. First, Wilder shattered his jaw which sidelined him for several weeks. This came at an awful time, as The Revival were just starting to get over with the main roster audience.
After some time, Wilder’s injury healed, but then Dawson suffered a ruptured bicep which put him on the shelf as well. In other words, The Revival have spent the majority of 2017 not even wrestling, which has prevented them from really getting over as an act and becoming a great main roster tag team.
Had these injuries never happened, there’s a good chance we’d have gotten the chance to see them face off against great tag teams like Gallows & Anderson, Sheamus & Cesaro, and Rollins & Ambrose.
