NXT Tag Team Give Themselves a New Name

WWE NXT talents Sunny Dhinsa and Gzim Selmani have been working as a tag team in NXT for the past few months. However, at last night’s NXT live event in Orlando, the two came out in masks following Mojo Rawley’s win over Angelo Dawkins, and beat down Rawley in the ring. The team then cut heel promos about being paid by NXT to hurt people, and it looks like they are calling themselves The Authors of Pain:
