Saw the raw results and found out. So what do we make of this? Is Vince using this to try to get them to stay? Have they already resigned? Or logically is it to put over the usos/some other team

I think it’s a transitional run to get them to The Usos and they’ll go off and fight the Allan Parsons Project Raiders or something.
Not saying it’s safe to assume they’re done with it, but I’m glad they stopped jerking them around with silly prank segments, not just because it wasn’t great TV, but because it was so counter-productive. They couldn’t have been gifting them to AEW any harder if they literally slapped a bow on them and mailed them to Jacksonville for Tony Khan’s birthday.

Allan Parsons Project Raiders or something.. Not fair to let one team use some kind of hovercraft. |

One of them is signed longer than the other, right, due to the injury extension? Wonder what they'll do then
I think it's crummy that they didn't even DO anything with Zack and Curt-- they were a last minute addition to Wrestlemania with no consistent build to the match, then they were only used a few times, lost to Viking Raiders, who disappeared, then Zack and Curt weren't used for awhile and only reappeared to lose. Meh.

Making them drag their asses Round like Doha was one thing. But making them Raw Tag Champs is just cruel.

Getting the belts off Ryder and Hawkins is a good thing at the very least.
I have nothing against them two, but they have been booked and treated as jobbers for years and years and them being champions was just killing the titles and the division.

It was a nice moment when they won the titles at WM, but in typical WWE fashion, they didn't know how to follow it up. |

Like so many things, it didn't have to be that way in a company that cared. Yeah, Hawkins & Ryder winning could be a fluke, but then you've got a story of these two guys rebuilding their confidence by beating other teams (maybe by fluke at first, but then out of competence), only to run into another team that has their number. Like, I dunno, a returning AoP. That way, even when they lose, you still have a credible tag-team to feud with other teams. Instead, they lost a couple times to the "MC Raiders" Experience, were off TV for a month, then lost to the Revival. Just so the Revival can lose the belts to the Usos in a couple weeks or whatever. |

What does it say about the Viking Experience that they weren't even one of the teams in that match last night?

Don't worry, in two weeks this headass show will book The Revival to lose their titles via forfeit due to excessive dookie-ing or something else moronic.

Honestly I think it is a positive, that someone is looking out for them given their NXT exit and use (or lack thereof) on the main roster. They aren't being thrown out there in random matches every week because they mean nothing like EC3 or being in the middle card of nothing like Ricochet. I know I'm probably giving them too much credit but I just have to some hope. |

It didn't even seem much like a fluke because they went on to beat them again the next night, and at the end of April. Then Vince lost interest, as he always does, and here we are. The jobber thing is flimsy for an excuse too-- Heath was a jobber too and with some care and a decent story, he became a tag champ with Rhyno that fans were supporting until WWE wrecked that too. |

The Revival deserve to be Raw Tag Team Champions. They have the best W/L Record for TV & PPV in 2019, with a record of 11-9-0.
