Per SRS:
>After CM Punk returned to the WWE there was the belief internally that several other talents were on the way. As such, HHH planned major roles for each person and their absence is absolutely being felt today. According to an anonymous source, we can now present what these plans were.
>FTR: rechristened The Revival, they were to align themselves with CM Punk as baby faces and win the tag titles sometime after Mania.
>Keith Lee: Dropping the Bearcat nickname, Lee would be in the IC title picture after Mania.
>Buddy Murphy and Malakai Black: Now calling themselves the Disciples of the Dark, the returning Aleister Black and “Murph” would feud with Cody Rhodes after Mania, reigniting a feud that started in AEW. Murph would then move towards the Judgment Day.
>These absences are absolutely being felt right now, with RAW and Smackdown oftentimes feeling like storyless filler shows.
