Speak affirmatively!
On the whole, good moment, about the only thing on that Raw even kind of worth seeing, and they managed to wake the crowd up eventually, though match would've benefited from being a lot shorter.

It really feels like them threatening to leave is what gave them the belts, and that would be funny if it wasnt so sad. Still happy for them.

It took them a while and a few injuries to get there, but I’m so stoked they finally did. Great match, and the Revival is the best tag team in wrestling.
They were once my favorite act in the business, and I don’t love them quite that much anymore, but it was still such a good feeling to see them pull it off.

They'll still leave when their contracts are over with. Roode and Gable ain't do shit, I doubt The Revival will change things.

Needed more Bobby beating Chad to death in shame.
But I approve of our new Revived Overlords.

Who could possibly change anything in this sorry state of a tag division? The heiarchy is Revival and Roode and Gable (and AoP, but Akam's injured), and a complete bunch of jobber teams after that. They need at least one of the marquee teams that are on Smackdown to at least have some semblance of an actual division before there can even remotely be talk of change.

This tag team scene needs a drastic change and giving guys the titles won't change that. The Revival aren't stupid, they gotta know that this can be better elsewhere.

I got a feeling that this is leading to Hawkins & Ryder winning the titles. I hope they let the Revival hold on to the titles for at least a couple of months so it doesn't feel like a transitional reign.

I gotta give Roode, Gable & The Revival credit. They took a dead crowd and got them interested in their match. It almost felt like an NXT tag match, some of the shit they were doing. Good chemistry.

Hopefully this will lead to Hawkins and Ryder winning the belts at WM, finally breaking Hawkins' defeated streak.

Meh, feels a little pathetic that they had to threaten to leave in order to get a push, but whatever.

WWE clearly saw enough value in them to rapidly rush them to the tag titles in response to the idea of leaving. If they see them as at that level to begin with then why on earth weren't they being used that way? If anything I feel like WWE giving them the belts now justifies their position, they DO deserve to be treated better than WWE's given them.

Yeah, I wouldn't get too carried away with this, if I were them. It's more than possible that Vince and/or creative decide to humiliate them, somewhere down the line, as retribution for daring to voice their discontent.
I don't believe that they've all suddenly realised that The Revival are good, and they need to keep them, after ignoring them for a year. The WWE doesn't care about tag wrestling.

The supposed talk was also they weren't just interested in the titles since the division was so dead. Letting them have a match like their NXT days (with one half of one of their best opponents) at least does show positive progress in the tag division hopefully it continues.

The only question of all that is how long it lasts? If it’s a start of a substantial change, awesome but especially with tag teams, we’ve been down this road too many times for to not suddenly turn to Braun Strowman killing everyone again to get his heat back.

I feel like Zack is going to get another Wrestlemania feel good moment out of it, mixed with Hawkins breaking his losing streak at the biggest show of the year.

Yeah, I absolutely think Hawkins is going to end his losing streak by winning the tag titles.
They’re building The Revival to get some use out of them before they bounce.
