The originally thought ‘work’ between Harlem Heat and The Revival to set up a future match, could turn out to be true. Going by the recent updates, the members of Harlem Heat, Booker T and Stevie Raw are gearing up to compete in one last match before hanging up the boots.
In fact, this would be the first time that the former WCW tag team champions would work as a team in the WWE.
WWE Saved Two TLC Matches For Royal Rumble 2020 PPV
Back at TLC PPV 2019, The Revival – Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson took shots towards Booker T who was doing his job at the kick-off show panel. The two emerging superstars claimed to be the best tag team in the current roster and eventually threatened Booker T to step up.

They begged him to bring back the Harlem Heat so that a matchup between two different generation’s tag teams could become a reality.
Initially, it was thought to be a one-off confrontation between them. But The Revival posted a custom made poster of the two teams urging WWE to book the match at Royal Rumble 2020. Now it looks like Booker T is having the same pledge, as well as he gave one week of time to the company to officially confirm this contest.
As per the claiming of the WWE Hall of Famer, he is getting ready to compete in this match. If WWE does not officially put this match within a week of time then he would stop training for this.
He elaborately discussed the idea of bringing back Harlem Heat to the mainstay picture after a long time on his Hall of Fame podcast. Here’re the excerpts, (courtesy wwfoldschool.com)
“Hey man, the Royal Rumble is gonna be right here in Houston, Texas on the 26th right there in Minute Maid Park and we got people calling me out.
I still got something left in the tank. I just checked it a couple of weeks ago and we got about a quarter tank left, and I think I’m ready to use it because I think I can get about…on a quarter tank, I can get about 200 miles. You understand what I’m saying?
I’m still waiting for my invitation. Look, bro, if I would’ve gotten it, I would tell you. I have not gotten my invitation yet, and the thing is, if they don’t tell me in the next week, I ain’t doing it. They’re on the clock. So I’m putting this out there right now.
If they don’t let me know within the next seven days, don’t call, because I’m gonna stop training after that. I’ll stop putting in real hard work. Don’t call me at the last minute and I’m not ready. Don’t call me at the last minute because I need time to…my mind gotta be right going into this thing. I gotta be focused.”
One of the main reasons why WWE Universe is expecting Booker T to wrestle at Royal Rumble is because it will emanate from his hometown. The show is slated to take place at the Minute Maid Park in Houston, Texas which is home for the five-time world champion. Could WWE be allowing him to compete in one more match? We hope to get an answer on the upcoming episode of SmackDown.
