#1 Authors of Pain

The Authors of Pain were once the most dominant tag team in NXT. When they moved to the RAW roster, the team was paired up with Drake Maverick and fell into a mostly comedic role. The duo managed to win the RAW Tag Team Championship but lost to Bobby Roode and Chad Gable just over a month later. This allowed Akam to undergo knee surgery while the team went on a hiatus.

Now that the two men are back, they’ve been sending warnings to the entire tag team division but nothing has materialized quite yet. It could be time for the company to either give them another go in the RAW tag team division or move Akam & Rezar back to NXT.

Finn Balor has already spoken about his desire to work with the two men, and their pairing could be a lethal one for the entire NXT roster.

Balor is an expert at leading a heel pack, while AoP is a natural heel team that can benefit from Balor's leadership and fame.

Sending the Authors of Pain to NXT to work with Balor could prove to be a wise decision keeping in mind that the RAW Tag Team Championships are with the dominant Viking Raiders and it could be difficult for the company to build and protect both teams at the same time on RAW.

There are no clear heavyweight tag teams on NXT at the moment, and Balor could certainly use the services of the two men on the Black and Gold brand to claim his authority there.
