The New Day face off against The Revival tonight as part of the Clash of Champions pay-per-view. The issues between the two teams have been well documented in recent weeks.
Kofi Kingston and Randy Orton have had issues ever since Kingston laid down the challenge for a match with The Apex Predator at SummerSlam last month. Xavier Woods and Big E were dragged into Kingston's problems over the past month since Orton wanted to take out Kingston's brothers to ensure that they couldn't interfere in his match.
Orton obviously recruited Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder to help follow through with this plan and the six men have since had an interesting back and forth. Whilst this past week's episode of SmackDown Live included build-up to Orton vs Kingston for the WWE Championship, there was no build up to the clash between The New Day and The Revival since neither team featured on the show.
#4 The New Day retain their Tag Team Championships
The New Day are one of the most decorated tag teams in WWE history, they have already overcome Demolition's long-standing record to become the longest-reigning champions in history and now it appears that they could be looking to have the most reigns as a team by the time they go their separate ways.
The New Day have been together for five years now and have had some fantastic battles with The Usos over the years, but now they will turn their attention to The Revival this weekend after the "Top Guys" attempted to put Xavier Woods out of action when they helped Randy Orton to attack the star and injure his knee.
This rivalry has become personal and whilst The Revival have got the better of The New Day several times in the buildup to this match, there is a reason why The New Day are widely considered to be one of the best tag teams in WWE at present.
#3 Interference sees the match end in disqualification
As already noted, Randy Orton and Kofi Kingston have played their part in the buildup to this match, since it was Orton that brought The Revival into the feud and they have now been granted a chance to become SmackDown Tag Team Champions, even though they are Raw Superstars.
Randy Orton and Kofi Kingston will be keeping an eye on this match but if the tide changes at any point then it's easy to see Orton heading out to help his team and Kingston then looking to even the odds and the referee losing control of the match.
The best thing that The New Day can hope for in this predicament is that the referee calls for a disqualification so that they will lose the match but they will retain their championships and live to fight another day.
Orton has been able to overcome the threat of all three members of The New Day on his own in the past, so it's easy to see him helping The Revival if his presence is needed, or if Kingston decides to get involved.
#2 The Revival become SmackDown Tag Team Champions
The Revival are no strangers to Tag Team Championship gold since they will become Triple Crown Champions if they are able to dethrone The New Day this weekend. That being said, a few months ago the duo made it clear that they had handed in a release request and wanted to leave the company because of the way the tag team division has been used over the past few years.
The Revival later joined forces with Shane McMahon and became Raw Tag Team Champions, but this reign didn't last very long. The latest update on Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder is that they are yet to sign a new contract with the company but they are reportedly much happier with their positions on the main roster. They are also reportedly happy with the way the tag team division has changed in recent months as well, which could be a hint that their luck is about to change.
Wilder and Dawson's contracts are due to expire soon so WWE will be hoping to re-sign them and stop them moving to AEW, so a SmackDown Tag Team Championships win could be exactly what they need.
#1 Randy Orton interferes to help The Revival to victory
Randy Orton has a real problem with Kofi Kingston and he knows that the best way to get into the head of the WWE Champion is to go after Big E and Xavier Woods. Since the SmackDown Tag Team Championships will be defended before the WWE Championship, Orton could decide to send a message to Kingston and ensure that he isn't fully focused on their match later in the night.
The Revival are all about taking shortcuts to victory, so it would be interesting to see if Orton takes it upon himself to help the two men who have been helping him over the past few weeks. Orton is a former 13-time World Champion, he knows how to get into the heads of his opponents and this would definitely be something that The Viper would pull off.
Of course, Orton could decide to allow The Revival to win the match themselves and focus on his own match, since he doesn't consider Kingston much of a threat, but if he did want to get into Kofi's head then costing Big E and Xavier their titles and then attacking them after the match would be the best way to do it.
