Three of the best dudes I’ve ever met. Guys who went out of their way to help others any chance they got. Still not sorry about the ice cream cart, though. https://t.co/vvKscAKB4t

The teams’ paths crossed once again in 2019. The Revival showed up on SmackDown to challenge the New Day for the SD Tag belts.

The New Day won back the titles on an episode of SmackDown and ended the rivalry in a fantastic ladder match at TLC 2019.

The New Day vs The Revival provided fans with some quality wrestling. While the New Day were the longest reigning Tag champs on Raw, the Revival was killing it in NXT against the likes of American Alpha and #DIY.
The respect each team has for the other is palpable. The future of the trio is up in the air after being split by the Draft. FTR, however, are ruling the AEW Tag division.
