The Revival’s long-awaited return last week came at the expense of The Hardy Boyz, who they claimed had failed to show them the proper respect the first time they met. And while Matt & Jeff may not like Dash & Dawson by any stretch of the imagination, it’s hard to imagine they’d ever doubt their skills after what went down on Raw.

The former Raw and NXT Tag Team Champions went head-to-head in a hard-hitting match that pitted the Hardys’ flips against The Revival’s fists, eventually coming down to the wire with Dash Wilder saving Scott Dawson from several of Jeff Hardy’s signature attacks. When The Charismatic Enigma rallied to set up the Swanton Bomb, Wilder shoved him off the top turnbuckle and Dawson capitalized, grabbing a handful of Hardy’s pants to neutralize him for an ill-gotten pin.

Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson may have had a point when they confronted The Revival: They did indeed accomplish almost everything Dash & Dawson have first, down to going bald. They even seemed like they would add to their laundry list of accolades by becoming the first tandem to defeat the two-time NXT Tag Team Champions on Raw.

That said, The Revival still managed to pull out the win, albeit a narrow one. Luke Gallows ran roughshod over Dash & Dawson, but a combination of a chop block by The Revival and the unexpected arrival of The Hardy Boyz (who have unfinished business with both teams after losing to each of them recently) allowed Dash & Dawson to hit Anderson with the Shatter Machine for the win.

Matt & Jeff quickly hit the ring to pick the bones of The Revival after the match, but Dash & Dawson managed to get away before a Swanton Bomb could truly take the Top Guys, well, out.
