Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler (Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder of The Revival) released their first promotion video since leaving WWE on Wednesday, seemingly confirming that their new tag team name will be The Revolt. The clip shows classic footage of wars, protests and rebellions while the sounds of marching plays in the backgroud. The words "Resist," "Revive" and "Fear The Revolt" flash across the screen before a new version of their entrance music starts to play.

The former NXT, Raw and SmackDown Tag Team Champions were released back in early April, and thanks to a few trademark filings they were able to get their hands on certain aspects of their WWE personas, including "FTR," "Shatter Machine," "Top Guys" and "Say Yeah."

The pair had initially asked for their releases in early 2019 but were rejected. After turning down multiple offers to stay with WWE on long-term, lucrative contracts, the pair were finally let go after being off television for roughly a month. They've since teased going to both All Elite Wrestling and the National Wrestling Alliance.
