The call-ups keep coming, and The Authors Of Pain are the latest NXT stars to join the RAW roster.
AOP answered the challenge of Heath Slater and Rhyno, and made quick work of them by defeating them with The Last Chapter. The Authors Of Pain won the 2016 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, and their lone NXT Tag Team Championship reign lasted 203 days.
Despite appearing with them on tonight’s show, it appears AOP are leaving their mentor Paul Ellering behind; check out highlights from their debut below:
WAR is their PEACE and now #RAW is their HOME!
