More Revival news - they will now be known as The Revolt.
from today's pwinsider.com:
A number of readers have asked why the team is using the Revolt name, given Caleb Konley and Zane Riley have been using the name for five-plus years on the independents. There have absolutely been some in the North Carolina wrestling scene upset about the usage of the name since Konley and Riley have invested in using and merchandising the Revolt name for some time and since The Revival are from the Carolinas, it's being taken as a personal affront that "one of their own" did this to working independent talents. It's entirely possible the Revival weren't aware of the Revolt name. They've been in the WWE travel grind for a long time and that usually means that outside of WWE, most talents aren't away of what else is going on. Given they seem to be focusing on the initials FTR, it could be the former Revival are simply going to focus on using the initials but not the Revolt name, which would be a simple way for everyone to monetize the name without infringement. Honestly, if they want to instill goodwill, they should just shift to another, different name, but in all likelihood, I don't see that happening. This should be a lesson for talents on the independent scene - if you have a good name or idea, invest in protecting it or you could find yourself in a much more expensive predicament down the line trying to protect the intellectual property you developed. Riley and Konley are now in a pretty crappy position.
