In NXT, the tag team of Konnor and Viktor was a big deal. The Ascension held the NXT Tag Team Championship for 364 days, which is still the title's longest reign.

Breaking Vince Russo and Jim Cornette update HERE.

The Ascension was called up to the WWE's main roster in December 2014 after being given the vignette treatment. Several weeks of enhancement matches followed, establishing The Ascension as a dominant tag team.

However, things slowed down less than two months after the main roster debut of The Ascension, and fans were less than appreciative of The Ascension's promos, presumably scripted for them - in which they criticized WWE legends like The Legion Of Doom, Demolition and The New Age Outlaws.

In the Spring of 2017, The Ascension became aligned with Breezango through a series of Fashion Vice skits. This helped get Konnor and Viktor seen in a more favorable light as some comedic chops were showcased.

The Ascension moved from SmackDown to Raw as part of the 2018 Superstar Shake-Up and are currently alternating between working as babyfaces and heels in a lower card position. Given the duo's success as the longest-reigning NXT tag team champs, never say never on a return to prominence for The Ascension.
