#3 The AOP
The Authors of Pain haven't even competed in an actual match since returning to television and they are still the biggest thing in the tag team division right now! Not only is that evident by the fact that Akam and Razar are now aligned with former Universal Champion, Seth Rollins, but also by their new sinister look.

In all honesty, the suits they wear and the fact that they rarely speak English just screams mob bosses. Furthermore, they look better than their previous runs in WWE, which has really helped in showing the WWE Universe just how menacing these two men are.
Then WWE went a step further by having The AOP run up a victim count that includes, Rey Mysterio, Kevin Owens, and a hellacious beatdown on Samoa Joe. Of course, some are going to wait until they are put up against top talent in an actual match, but these beatdowns are still foretelling WWE's intentions here.
If nothing else, WWE is allowing AOP to run rampant on Monday Night Raw and they will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. At least that way, WWE can continue to build up the white-hot momentum they have going for the tag team already and maybe even parlay that into a match with The Viking Raiders.
