As noted prior, Scott Dawson (of the Revival) sent out a tweet during the tag team turmoil match on this weeks episode of Smackdown LIVE. It read: “We’re the hottest act in tag wrestling. You think we’re going to debut in a stupid multi-team gimmick match?! #TheRevival #TopGuys #GTTOAT”. His message was deleted after receiving some negative comments from Road Dogg and Bubba Ray Dudley.
Road Dogg responded on Twitter to the comments (Bubba’s tweet was deleted but in a similar vein):
Keep talking like that and you won’t debut at all! #OUDK https://t.co/nG7iXVUBQb

Scott Dawson immediately took down his tweet and apologized, tweeting: “Admittedly my last tweet was stupid. I’ve worked w/ all those teams & have the utmost respect for them. Stupid tweet to try to rile fans”
This had many fans on twitter upset at Road Dogg and Bubba because Dawson’s tweet was in character. Road Dogg later revealed that it was a big rib towards Dawson. It ended up working as Dawson deleted all of his tweets and admitted that they got him.
@jhack97 I totally think that, I was joking around because I’m friends with the guy. C’mon man!

Dear @ScottDawsonWWE this is an official apology for ribbing you on social media. I’ve upset the balance of the “universe” I beg forgiveness

@WWERoadDogg @Mandalorian1310 I bought the rib, hook, line, sinker. I thought he was mad & I respect him so I deleted it. He got me good!

@ScottDawsonWWE @Mandalorian1310 Happy Thanksgiving guys. I’m not sorry for the rib, I’m sorry it actually became “a thing”! Have a gud 1!

Hope this clears things up a bit for everyone.
