They’re going back to live episodes of Raw, Smackdown and NXT because they’re seemingly hell bent on some members of their roster not seeing 2021. I know they have contracts that dictate a certain amount of live programming but fucking hell. Get some perspective.

Reading up on this, it’s pretty much the TV contracts that have played a part, the USA contract had a clause in that they can only have 3 recorded shows a year for Raw, a holiday episode and the two filmed over here in May and November, they are also expecting a live NXT every Wednesday while Fox have a get out if there’s a rapid ratings decline with SD, something that would continue to happen with taped shows. 
 

Mania being taped and empty arena last weekend was a huge financial hit for them not helped by XFL shutting down yesterday either. It’s a no man’s land for the company, they either stick to the contracts and run live or they lose the deals and have to run shows on the Network losing even more viewers and revenue. Doesn’t help that outside of the top talents, no one on the roster has it in them to band together and say no to performing for fear of being buried or fired

The new names for the Revival have been revealed now they’re released, Dash is now Cash Wheeler while Dawson is Dax Hardwood and they will either be known as Top Guys or Shatter Machine depending on what they can trademark

Their real names are Daniel Wheeler and David Harwood. Those are quite uninteresting names, to be honest, but it’s not like they’ve Bubba Pooned themselves with an NXT name generator.

Actually, that’s not a bad idea...

Got Slate Gibbons. Disappointing.

Could have been worse. I just got Tranny Turdwater, as a name, not a lifestyle choice.

Cash and Dax sound alright. I thought they had Forever The Revival trademarked? Surely “top guys” would just be a slogan for a t-shirt design and not the actual team name 

There's no way that they'll be able to use Forever The Revival, even if they own the trademark. AEW and especially TNT won't want the hassle of a long, boring legal battle with WWE. not when they can just call them something else.

It's the same reason Bubba and D-Von called themselves Team 3D and not "The Deadly Brothers," even though they had that trademarked.
