After spending more than a year expressing displeasure with WWE, Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson of The Revival have been released, the company announced Friday.
The tag team reportedly asked for their release in January 2019 but WWE countered with a contract offer of $500,000 per year for five years. The duo turned down the offer, reportedly because they disliked working for WWE, and asked again to be released this January.
Both performers’ contracts were originally set to expire this month, but Wilder’s was extended an additional ten weeks due to time he missed in 2016 with a broken jaw, a common practice for WWE.
