#4. Akam (26 years old)
Akam of the Authors of Pain signed a contract with NXT in December 2014 and made his official debut in mid-2015. A year later, in 2016, he was paired with Rezar, and the duo became known as the Authors of Pain. Together they dominated the NXT Tag Team Division and had Paul Ellering as their manager.
In his three year tenure on the brand, Akam won the NXT Tag Team Championships and had great matches against the likes of DIY and SAnitY. After moving to the main roster, the duo won the RAW Tag Team titles, but misfortune would soon follow. They lost the titles and Akam suffered a leg injury that has kept him out of action ever since. They might be on the verge of a return following several vignettes over the last month.

#3. Rezar (25 years old)
Speaking of Akam, the next entry on this list is his tag team partner Rezar. Rezar is approximately one year younger than Akam and has followed a similar path in WWE. Rezar had prior MMA experience and competed in 8 matches before taking part in a WWE tryout.
He was instantly put alongside Akam in the Authors of Pain, and as stated earlier, the duo was dominant in NXT. Their time on RAW hasn't been nearly as productive, but hopefully they will return soon. One may think that they may be the next challengers for the RAW Tag Team Titles and would be perfect opponents for The Viking Raiders.
