Aleister Black found himself planted with an impressive tornado DDT from Dash Wilder, but Ricochet came flying over the turnbuckle to take down both members of The Revival. After some more back and forth on the outside, the threat of a countout loss began to loom.

Wilder and Ricochet tried to keep each other from the ring, but Wilder slipped in with a few seconds to spare. Ricochet looked to hop in right at the count of nine, but Dawson had hidden under the ring. Scott Dawson grabbed Ricochet’s foot and kept him from making the count, giving The Revival the win by countout and letting them escape with the WWE Raw Tag Team Titles.

However, The Revival didn’t get the final word. Aleister Black took both men down with a Black Mass after the match, and rolled one-half of the Raw Tag Team Champions into the ring to take a 630 Senton from Ricochet. While they didn’t leave as champions, the NXT duo were the ones standing tall on WWE Raw.

Grade: A, Another fantastic match between these four men, and an unpredictable ending that leaves an opening for Aleister Black and Ricochet to leverage themselves into another title shot. More from them can only be great.
