#2 Will the Authors of Pain join Seth Rollins?

WWE has been very vague when it comes to The Authors of pain.
WWE has been very vague when it comes to The Authors of pain.

The move has been teased several time throughout the last couple of weeks, but it doesn't seem like fans are any closer to that question being answered. In fact, between AOP letting Seth Rollins walk away before beating up Kevin Owens before dragging him up the ramp surely hints at the three men forming a group, but Rollins hasn't acknowledged them yet, so WWE is keeping their relationship, or lack thereof, vague.

Another problem with answering this question right now is the fact that WWE hasn't fully turned Rollins heel yet. It certainly appears to be the direction they are headed, but they haven't gone all in on it just yet. If he does complete his move to the dark side, it would be a nice slow burn that the fans could probably get behind, but what if that isn't the plan?

If nothing else, WWE tried to make a statement by having AOP attack Kevin Owens, but all of that becomes moot if they don't move forward on the heel turn. Akam and Rezar will have essentially been wasting their time, as they would be gaining nothing if Rollins doesn't become a full-blown heel with the two men at his side, or at least willing to do some of his dirty work.

If WWE isn't going to use the men as associates of Rollins, it would be wise to start building momentum for them in a tag team division that needs a dose of credibility.
