The Revival Asked For Their Release…Again.
We learned last year that Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder, collectively The Revival, had asked to be released from their WWE contracts. That request didn’t fly then, and it may not now.
If WWE Loses The Revival @ScottDawsonWWE #DashWilder it’s just a damn shame.
The Revival / American Alpha NXT Run was some of the best tag team wrestling I’ve seen. To just ruin it all, is so sad.

That didn’t stop the pair from once again requesting to be released. Dash and Dawson made the requests last week-in spite of new offers from WWE.
According to Bodyslam.net, the tag team received offers purportedly in the 700k range per year. For those keeping score at home, those would be effectively the same figures that WWE offered to Anderson and Gallows.
WWE doesn’t want to lose them to AEW, and The Revival just want a strong tag team division to get them to stay. So isn’t the logical choice here to put them back on NXT?

While The Good Brothers stayed, it appears as though Dash and Dawson will not be. If there is to be a sliver of hope, fans could try to see the positive. For example, while Dash and Dawson rejected new offers, the pair still seems to be actively negotiating deals-meaning they have not yet truly checked out.
I’m trying to explain to my kids that the revival may leave wwe for another promotion on a channel we done have. I had an easier time explaining their dog died.

Possible Huge NXT Return Next Week?
If you caught NXT this week, then you likely saw this:

Now, fans were busy dissecting this almost as soon as it aired.
Anyone else see that 2/5/20 vid during NXT? Was there anything more to it? The numbers were in rings of smoke….. Smoke show? I may have missed something

The fans are hoping and suspecting that the cryptic post indicates that injured Superstar The Velveteen Dream could be on his way back.
Am I the only one who doesnt think last nights NXT 2-5-20 thing is Velveteen Dream?????
I still dont think its vibrant enough to be him. It has a bit of a darker more mysterious vibe imo

The image teased that whomever is included in that, we can expect them on the next episode, which airs next Wednesday. Fans will continue to speculate-that is what fans do-but we likely won’t hear anything official until Dream shows up next week (or does not).
A lot of #NXT Fans are assuming that the random #GIF @WWENXT posted with 2/5/20 on it, is a hint that @VelveteenWWE is returning next week! What’s your opinion? #DREAM pic.twitter.com/EBfsfRx8BR
