#3. Former WWE star Viktor - The Ascension

The Ascension consisted of Konnor and Viktor. After showing at NXT that they had what it took to be taken seriously in WWE, the company did not push the team on the main roster.

The Ascension were booked poorly for a number of years despite being former NXT Tag Team Champions and were unable to lift gold on the main roster at any point in their career.

The Ascension were wasted alongside several other teams at the time. Their final WWE match was in April 2019, but they weren't released until December later that year.

Viktor headed back to the independent circuit with a new look, where he shaved his head. He is still part of The Ascension with his former tag partner, but their names are now Big Kon and Vik.

The former WWE star has also hit the gym and is now much bigger than the star that once graced our screens as part of Vince McMahon's company.
