WWE has announced that RAW Tag Team Champions Bobby Roode & Chad Gable with defend their RAW Tag Team Championships against The Revival (Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder). The bout has been announced as a lumberjack match and subject to the traditional lumberjack rules with performers representing both teams standing ringside to ensure that all the action stays inside the ring.
WWE.com added the following:
On Christmas Eve, Chad Gable pinned Scott Dawson, allowing himself and Bobby Roode to retain the Raw Tag Team Championship. The problem there, however, is that Dash Wilder was the legal man at that point in the match!
The Revival had reason to gripe after the controversial conclusion to that bout and, in the interest of fairness, the McMahon family has granted Dawson & Wilder another opportunity to dethrone the “Glorious” titleholders, live on the first Raw of 2019. And, to keep the action from spilling outside the ring, the bout will be a Tag Team Lumberjack Match!
With several Superstars surrounding the ring — and getting their hands on anyone who dares to venture beyond the ropes — there will be even more eyes on the action to ensure that the rightful team emerges victorious.
Can The Revival finally live up to their self-appointed moniker and become the “Top Guys” of the red brand’s tandem division?
Next week’s RAW looks to be quite eventful. Elias will square off against Baron Corbin and John Cena will make his 2019 RAW debut. Hulk Hogan will also make his RAW return to honor the life and legacy of late WWE Hall of Famer ‘Mean’ Gene Okerlund.
