WWE WrestleMania 35: Curt Hawkins ENDS 269-match losing streak with shock tag team title win

The Revival’s reign as Raw tag team champions was incredibly ended at WrestleMania 35 by the man who holds the worst record on the WWE roster.

Curt Hawkins finally ended his 269-match losing streak as he and best friend Zack Ryder - formerly known as the ‘Major Brothers’ who last held the tag team titles in WWE over a decade ago - defeat Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder at the ‘Showcase of the Immortals’.

The match was a late addition to the two-hour kick-off show before this year’s ‘Show of Shows’ at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

And WWE fans were left stunned as Hawkins and Ryder finished the match with their arms raised in victory by the referee after he rolled up Dawson for a three-count.

Ryder memorably won the Intercontinental championship in a Ladder match at WrestleMania 32 in Dallas - only to lose it the following night on Raw.

And Ryder has enjoyed quite the week, after he got engaged to his partner, NXT superstar, Chelsea Green in front of hundreds of fans during the WWE Axxess event.

The defeat for the popular Revival team, who dominated in NXT but have found life difficult on the main roster, fuels speculation that they could quit WWE for rival brand AEW.

However, in an exclusive interview with Mirror Sport in February the duo insisted they are happy in WWE - and are confident a huge tag team shake-up is in store following WrestleMania.

Unconfirmed reports earlier this week suggested new tag team titles have been created which could see the eventual winners defend on Raw, Smackdown Live and, possibly, NXT.

Speaking to the Mirror earlier this year , The Revival said: "I feel like our work is just beginning now.

"We feel that winning the championship means nothing, it's about what we do with them while we have them, and what we do to elevate their standing in the company.

"It's about what we do with the rest of the division to elevate it, and make everybody reach their potential.”
