Becoming WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champions was a huge moment for The Revival (now FTR) but Vince McMahon was hardly thrilled for the pair after their win.
At WWE Clash of Champions 2019, Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler won the titles from the New Day, becoming the first tag team to win WWE’s tag-team Triple Crown.
Speaking on the FTR podcast, Harwood revealed McMahon’s response after the match to the New Day.
“We come to the back and Vince is there waiting for us, off his headsets. And I’m hoping that since he’s off his headsets, he’s gonna tell us ‘That was incredible. That was a great job. That was storytelling.’ Right? So he comes to us, he goes to New Day and says ‘Hey guys, great job. Thank you. I appreciate it.’”
The Executive Chairman had a far less positive response when speaking to the new champions.
“They walk off, he leaves me and Cash there. And that’s when he says ‘Everyone tells me that you guys are the next great tag team. Everyone tells me you’re the next Arn and Tully. Well that’s your problem. You are the next Arn and Tully. You’re just great wrestlers. That’s all.’ And he walks off.”
The Revival’s 54-day reign with the titles would end in November 2019 when they lost the titles back to the New Day at a SmackDown taping in Manchester, England.
