TM61 (Shane Thorne & Nick Miller) vs. The Revival (Scott Dawson & Dash Wilder)

Result: TM61 defeated The Revival via pinfall

Rating: 2.9 out of 5 stars

For what it was, this was a good match. It’s a table setter – these two teams are supposed to be starting a big program. So tonight was all about getting everyone excited for what’s to come next.

And the match accomplished that. Backstage, TM61 said, “if you want a title match, get in line and fight for one.” What happened? They put their money where their mouth is, and pulled off an upset victory.

The Revival, though, are the greatest tag team on the planet. So you know that any time they take a defeat, they’ll come back more angry and ready to fight again.

Or, they just wreck your knee after the match because that’s what top guys do. I mean, that works, too.

Sadly, Shane Thorne – who took the knee destruction on camera – suffered a legitimate knee injury at this set of tapings, and he’ll be sidelined for several months after having surgery. So right now the table has been set, but no one’s allowed to sit down. Kinda like the couches wrapped in plastic at your Italian grandma’s house.

Hopefully Thorne heals up quickly, and these two can get something going before we lose The Revival to SmackDown Live forever.
