Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder of The Revival made it through 2019 without signing new WWE contracts. The pair’s current deals are set to expire this summer, and now new reports have emerged about how WWE plans on using them until them. According to both Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer and Paul Davis of WrestlingNews.co, the current plan is to turn the two in a comedy tag team, which started with Dash Wilder tripping on the entrance ramp during a recent episode of SmackDown. The pair recently tried and failed to win back the SmackDown Tag Team Championships from The New Day and attempted to draw Booker T and Stevie Ray out of retirement for Harlem Heat reunion.

“The booking plan on SmackDown is to turn The Revival into comedy characters,” Meltzer wrote in the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter. “There are mixed feelings on this for obvious reasons and it still may get shot down, but the deal where Wilder tripped and fell during the ring entrance was supposed to be the start of it. The Revival only has a few months left on their contracts and haven’t agreed to a new deal after attempting to get a release months ago. The proposed idea is to do a spoof of the Fabulous Ones, which, funny enough, is actually the original Fargos heel gimmick in the late 50s.”

“Vince expected them to sign new contracts by now and they haven’t so this is what he wants to do with them.” Davis wrote while quoting an unnamed source. “He wants to lock people in months before their contracts expire and if they don’t want to play ball then he’s going to push them as comedy guys.”
