The New Day’s History With FTR and The Usos
Wheeler and tag team partner Dax Harwood have clashed with New Day multiple times while both teams were in WWE during 2019. The teams, then known as The Revival, faced off in several six-man tags alongside Randy Orton that year.
In 2019, Big E and Kofi Kingston defeated The Revival to win the SmackDown Tag Team titles. New Day retained the championships against The Revival at the TLC pay-per-view in Minneapolis on December 15, 2019.
Meanwhile, The Usos and The New Day have dominated WWE’s modern tag team division with classic title matches and rivalries.
Woods and Kingston’s departure from WWE marks the end of New Day’s 12-year run with the company.
