The WWE world got a surprise earlier today when WWE announced that fan favorites The Revival would be leaving the company effective as of today. The statement said that both sides agreed on the release, and WWE wished them well. That said, many are sad to see the tag team go, and that includes New Day’s Big E, who took to Twitter to share his disappointment that the duo is leaving. Big E posted an image of himself in front of a Revival poster with the caption “Thanks, boys”, and as you can see, he was rather sad to see them go.

The Revival was actually set to leave the company previously, but then they became the Tag Team Champions soon after. That lasted for a while, but then they lost those belts and after that seemed to disappear from the title picture.
Dawson’s contract was reportedly set to expire in April, and Wilder’s contract was coming to a close 10 weeks later. There are also rumors that they weren’t being paid any longer due to having already earned their downside guaranteed money on their contract, but that hasn’t been confirmed.
WWE did try and get them to resign a one-year deal for around $1 million, but they turned the money down. As for what’s next, it would seem the duo is AEW-bound, but we’ll just have to wait and see.
