The Revival recently revealed their new names for the indies but it appears that the new title has put them in a controversial spot already.
The duo recently released a promo video confirming that they will be using the name The Revolt in the future and PWInsider is reporting that the name has got them some heat.
Resist. Revive. Revolt.
Coming soon. #FTR ✌🏼 pic.twitter.com/6BdWAhZZx2— Dax FTR (@DaxFTR) April 21, 2020
According to the site, the Revolt has been used by indie stars Caleb Konley and Zane Riley as their tag team name from the past 5 years and the duo has invested in the name.
Due to this, some people in the North Carolina indie scene are said to be upset with Revival and since the former WWE stars are from the Carolinas themselves, the move is seen as personal as “one of their own” did this to working indie talents.
Though the site notes that it’s possible that the Revival did not know about the duo as they have been busy with the WWE grind. The indie duo has called out the former Champions on Twitter over the issue and it will be interesting to see if they respond to the issue.
