On December 8, 2019, The Ascension were released from WWE. Since then, the former WWE NXT tag-team are hitting the independent scene heavy with meet and greets, and now they have announced their second match since their release.

Due to WWE owning the Ascension name, Konnor and Viktor have changed their tag team name as well.


The second match on the Independent scene

Earlier this week, they competed in their first match since leaving WWE at Outlaw Wrestling, defeating former NXT stars Bull James and Bill Carr.

The Ascension's second match will be taking place a little over a month later on March 21st for Scott Wilder Promotions' The Awakening in Watervliet, New York. They'll be going up against local Indy competitors Shane Alden & Jeff Star.

It's not the first time these teams have squared off in the ring. On April 15, 2015, The Ascension faced off against Shane Alden & Jeff Star in a dark match before SmackDown at Times Union Center in Albany, New York. The Ascension would pick up the victory.
