3 Reasons why The Authors of Pain would align with Seth Rollins

This week's episode of Monday Night RAW ended with 'Monday Night Rollins' hitting a curb stomp on Kevin Owens. The show was great from start to end, but the final segment took everyone by surprise. After being on the sidelines, and cutting promos on fellow tag teams for a few weeks, The Authors of Pain returned to the ring. They first had a match with Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins, and the powerhouses destroyed their opponents.

The final segment of Monday Night RAW saw 'The Beastslayer' lock horns with 'The Prizefighter.' While KO had the upper hand at the start of the show, he was down on the mat when the show went off the air. Seth Rollins really can't take any credit for besting Owens either, as it was The Authors of Pain who brutalized the former Universal Champion with a 2 on 1 attack.

AOP made their presence felt during the closing moments and teased something that will likely compel fans to turn on their TV sets next week. Here are several reasons why The Authors of Pain should join Seth Rollins, and in case you have some other thoughts, feel free to drop them in the comments section below. So without any further ado, let's get down to it.


#3 The faction would rule the Red Brand

Factions have been an important part of the wrestling business since its beginning. Take The Undisputed Era in NXT, for example. They are a dominant force that hold every men's title on the Black & Yellow brand.

NwO, Four Horsemen, and a host of other factions have been an important part of the overall development of WWE in the past. Every brand requires a faction that will help the show create amazing segments, and the addition of Seth Rollins and AOP will only do good business.

Rollins is no stranger to dominant factions. The former Universal Champion could rule this potential new faction as he did during his last tenure with The Authority. The Shield was another faction that 'The Beastslayer' was a part of and the trio dominated WWE for years. With his experience, Rollins will be able to help RAW create something compelling for the WWE Universe each and every week.

#2 Uplift their own careers

Authors of Pain were out of action due to injury, and after their return were cutting promos backstage until they decided to attack Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins. The team returned to action this week, and despite their dominance were unable to leave a lasting impression until later in the show.

The moments during the final segment on RAW made The Authors of Pain a topic of discussion, and their interference in the main event bout between Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens became a potential career defining moment.

Akam and Rezar were once forgotten in WWE, but have been the talk of the internet since their controversial RAW appearance. An alignment with Seth Rollins would not only extend the final moment on this week's RAW, but also make The Authors of Pain a force to be reckoned with on the Red Brand for the foreseeable future.

There is no team more valuable, nor more worthy of a push than AOP, as their potential is truly limitless. This alignment would prove most beneficial to the former NXT Tag Team Champions.

#1 Uplift the careers of other wrestlers

Rest assured that some faction would rise to challenge The Authors of Pain and Seth Rollins. Such is often the case when one faction begins to dominate in WWE. It is possible that a Superstar like Ricochet could form this faction and get a huge push in the process. He is a great performer who has the potential to reach even greater heights. Just think of what could happen if he joins hands with AOP victim's Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder.

While Ricochet is already over with the WWE Universe, Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins need some good competition to get the limelight back. We all know that they are great and have been loyal WWE competitors for years now. If this faction is formed, we could see them eventually challenge Seth Rollins and The Authors of Pain for Red Brand dominance.

With good promos and great storytelling, this could be the perfect long-term storyline that could build Ricochet, Zack Ryder, and Curt Hawkins to inevitably overcome the evil Authors of Pain and Seth Rollins. It would be a win-win for all because fans would get entertainment, wrestlers would get the push, and the company would make money.
