This past week, it was announced that the upcoming title match on tonight’s episode of Monday Night RAW between The Revival (Scott Dawson & Dash Wilder) & RAW Tag Team Champions Bobby Roode & Chad Gable will now be a Lumberjack Match.
Roode & Gable won their first RAW Tag Team Titles when they defeated AOP and their Manager, Drake Maverick, in a 2-on-3 Handicap Match on The December 10th, 2018 edition of RAW. Maverick took the pin for his team.
The Revival & AOP’s Manager have been trading shots about their wrestling credentials on Twitter over the last few days. Maverick retweeted a passage from Wilder and replaced his words with a similar statement, saying, “To see the tag team titles brought back to greatness, wait for #AOP to be champions again.”
Their arguing was the standard banter at first until Dawson interjected, “While Dash & I were having WWE’s Match Of The Year, you were “wrestling” for a “company” on local access TV,” likely implying IMPACT Wrestling, as Maverick was well-known as “Rockstar Spud” in their X Division.
Maverick would then respond, “While I was “wrestling” for a “company” on television you were still rookies doing bump drills. Notice when I got here I skipped that part because of all of my track record & accomplishments on ‘local access TV.’”

After apx. 23 hrs, THIS is your response?! ??
P.S. Just remember; when I was a “rookie” in NXT, our Florida Live Events we’re drawing more than your TV shows. https://t.co/JoWkIvNMwQ
