btw wwe released them without a no-compete so that they would go debut elsewhere without a crowd to pop for it.

WWE realised that not paying these guys during a pandemic might make them look bad, so they fired them instead.

Also with AEW taped through May, they still won't be paid until June anyway

It's not like there is anything keeping AEW from signing them and paying them tomorrow.

There has to be some dire financial news coming down the pipe for WWE if they're releasing talent now. Even then I imagine they put a poison pill in the release that would keep the Revival from working for AEW for a specified amount of time beyond the standard 90 day release no compete, possible even up to the remaining time left on their contracts.

Don't get it twisted who your enemies are.
I'm super happy for them. Their entire career since leaving NXT has basically been everyone bitching about how poorly they were being used and asking when their contracts were coming up. Glad they didn't do what everyone feared they would and turn the last 2+ years into a big dumb angle to get a few extra 0's on their paychecks, burning every ounce of good will the fans have for them in the process.

They were good enough in NXT that despite being in poo poo storylines and poo poo feuds and having no noteworthy matches for their entire tenure on the main roster everybody is still clamoring to see them in a company that gives a poo poo about tag team wrestling, 3 years after they did anything worth talking about positively.

They should probably go to NWA.

They're the most NWA tag team out there.

Is the NWA still even around, I would have figured the coronavirus would have shut them down pretty hard by now

The NWA business model was already admitted to be unsustainable before the global pandemic.

Didn't Corgan or someone basically say the idea was to use it as a sort of pitch to TV networks for a deal? But yeah, even if the coronavirus had never happened, they were never going to sign with Corgan's NWA. They'd probably go to NJPW or ROH before that (assuming AEW never existed/wasn't an option).

they repeatedly turned down giant raises to sit on their asses and do nothing because they wanted to be pro wrestlers instead so yes they're good by default

They also work a style that is almost custom built to get flippy babyfaces over. Like them vs Jurassic Express or Private Party will make both babyface teams better, AND look like a million bucks. And the obvious FTR/Bucks feud should be excellent. I imagine Dash and Dawson are already working out ways to work over Matt's back.
