On my first day when I got here, we went and sat with the coaches and told them about our idea and our vision, and they ran with it. He got here a bit before me, but we would talk every day, week and month about how, when I got here and we were both under contract, that we wanted to be a tag team. We spent a lot of time getting into fights we shouldn't have been getting into, so we worked as a tag team even when we weren't wrestling. Me and Dawson both grew up as huge wrestling fans, and tag team wrestling was always something that appealed to us. © WWE) So many people grow up wanting to be WWE Superstars – what made you want to devote yourself to tag team wrestling as opposed to having singles dreams?

We want to be angry and be the guys who have something to be mad at. Looking back, it's almost better that it happened that way because we came in with a lot of expectation and momentum, and that's not The Revival – we're the guys who want to work with the biggest chip possible on our shoulders. I'm kind of rambling on, I know, but we were very proud of the fact that we both knew that, once we were both back and both healthy, we'd get back to where we wanted to be. So we've spent the last year just trying to show our worth and show what we can do. We were supposed to go to SummerSlam and work with them, which was a dream come true for us, and then there was a freak accident where Dawson tore his bicep right after I came back and he was out for four months.īack-to-back injuries, they did a lot to hurt momentum and momentum is a very real thing in this business and in this company. I came back and we started a programme with a Hardy Boyz. I got injured after our second Raw and was out for two months for a broken jaw. Whether it's talking, whether it's a match, we're going to deliver – but it was hard for a time. We'll be the guys that are here for as long as we want to be here and the guys that the fans know, when we go out there, they're going to get their monies worth and we're never gonna phone it in and have a night where we don't feel like doing it. We know it might take a little bit longer to get to where we want to be, but we are never going to lose that. We know we can entertain and go into the ring and put on the best match of the night, every night. We know that we're going to work hard and know what we're capable of, in and out of the ring. That's really cool, and he's gonna do great, but that's not us. We're not something that's immediately going to jump out at you like an Aleister Black, who has this grand entrance, with the candles and the smoke and the mirrors. Oh, yes, 100% we’ve had to bide our time but, at the same time, we've said since the very beginning that we're not flash.

Since coming from NXT, you've had to be patient and bide your time a little bit, haven't you? © WWE) Not at all, it's great to have that insight… you mentioned your call-up. So we're finding life at the top as more work than ever, if that answers your question in the longest way possible! We wanted that – to say we were on the main card. It was the first time that the Raw tag team titles have been defended on the main card of a pay-per-view for almost a year. I think, with us as champions, we're going to do everything possible to do that.įor instance – and this might not sound like that much of a deal – last night was our first time on the main card of a pay-per-view since our call up to the main roster in 2017 we'd only done Kickoff shows. We've felt for a very long time that the Raw tag team division has some amazing talent and some great characters, and they need the right platform and the right platform to show that. It's about what we do with the rest of the division to elevate it, and make everybody reach their potential. We feel that winning the championship means nothing, it's about what we do with them while we have them, and what we do to elevate their standing in the company. Where do I begin?! I feel like our work is just beginning now. © WWE) You're fresh off a successful title defence last night – how are the Revival finding life at the top?
