New Day vs. The Revival in WWE
Wheeler and his tag team partner Dax Harwood previously wrestled New Day several times while both teams were in WWE in 2019.
That year, New Day exchanged wins and losses in six-man tags against The Revival and Randy Orton. On the November 8 episode of SmackDown that year, taped in Manchester, England, Big E and Kofi Kingston defeated The Revival to win the SmackDown Tag Team titles. New Day then retained the titles against The Revival at the TLC pay-per-view in Minneapolis, Minnesota on December 15.
