Only Sportskeeda gives you the latest Wrestling News, rumors and updates.
Now that they have debuted on the main roster, they seem lost and they have no major feud going on. They need a strong push which can help them become the tag team champions.
Since they don't have Paul Ellering by their side anymore, it will be interesting to see how they will perform on the mic. Fans can expect The Authors of Pain to follow a similar path to The Ascension — Konnor, and Viktor — who dominated the NXT tag team landscape with brute force in 2013 and 2014. But, they shouldn't be badly pushed like The Ascension otherwise it will take no time to for AOP to become no-name tag teams.
Here are three possible feuds for the Authors of Pain.
#3 Authors of Pain vs The New Day
The New Day is one of the most entertaining tag teams in Smackdown Live. Currently, they are feuding with The Bar and they have the potential to entertain the crowds. The trio is entertaining both in and out of the ring. Each superstar in the trio have proven to be very entertaining and together they are ticket-sellers.
However, their popularity seems vulnerable as their merchandise sales have hit an all-time low. According to ewrestlingnews.com, The New Day's merchandise sale have slowed down in the recent months and speculations backstage suggests that their gimmick has run its course.
To redeem this entertaining tag-team, WWE needs to find a perfect feud. Author of Pain and The New Day can start a feud and it will be very interesting to see two extreme forces collide with each other.
#2 Authors of Pain vs The Deletors of the World
Bray Wyatt and Matt Hardy have won the RAW Tag Team Championship at the Greatest Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia last month. Surprisingly, they are working amazingly together and they have good synchronization and an interesting gimmick.
But, they don't have a feud going on right now. They have their matches booked with random tag-teams and their future buildup is quite vulnerable.
As they have put their past behind, WWE should start booking them with a proper tag-team. The Authors of Pain can be one of their options as they are also a victim of bad booking and lack of feuds. Akam and Rezar are brutes and they have proven themselves as an indestructible force in WWE.
They have destroyed their opponents but right now all they need is a proper feud which can be their launch-pad on the main roster. The Woken Family can teach them a lot and can also teach them the art of promo cutting as Ellering has left their side.
#3 The Bludgeon Brothers
The Bludgeon Brothers have dominated the SmackDown Live roster owing to their strength and unstoppable force of destruction. The Universe has been very vocal on several fan pages that they want a feud between the two unstoppable forces. Their road on the RAW roster has been very vague and unstable.
The Bludgeon Brothers have no one booked against them. They are not competing in any matches on SD Live. The last episode of SD Live featured a promo of them but they don't have any future opponent booked. It will be interesting to see these two heavy forces will collide with each other.
