7 NXT Superstars that should get a main roster push after WrestleMania

#6 Authors of Pain

Akam and Rezar joined forces at the WWE Performance Center in early-2016 to form The Authors of Pain. The AOP was a team of two big, brute warriors with a very menacing, intimidating look. They were making quick work of all opponents, in squash bouts which did very little to feature what actual in-ring talent they had. Then cames along Paul Ellering.

Since joining The Authors of Pain as their manager, Paul Ellering has brought out the very best in his squad and their improvement inside the ring has become more prevalent with each passing week.

At this point, Akam and Rezar are absolutely ready for life as main roster WWE Superstars. Not only that but also they could be poised for a run at the RAW tag-titles.

Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
