After months and months of speculation, WWE announced that they have released Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder of The Revival.
It had been widely expected that the tag team would be leaving the company once their contracts expired. Both of their contracts were originally set to expire this month. While Dawson’s deal is up, Wilder’s contract was extended until mid-June to make up for time he missed due to injuries.
The WWE noted that the release was “immediate”, indicating that they do not have a 90-day non-compete clause.
WWE issued the following statement regarding their release:
Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder of The Revival released
Effective today, Friday April 10, 2020, WWE and The Revival have agreed on their immediate release from WWE. We wish them all the best in their future endeavors.
As seen below, some wrestling personalities react to the announcement:
