From worst-to-first: Ranking the newest main roster call-ups from NXT

#3 Authors of Pain - RAW

AOP has arrived and served notice on the RAW roster!

They are big, they are nasty and they are relentless. They are Akam and Rezar and together, they create The Authors of Pain.

Under the tutelage of Hall of Fame manager Paul Ellering, The Authors of Pain went from mediocrity to NXT Tag Team Champions.

Making the jump to the main roster came as no surprise, but what did shock the WWE Universe was the fact that they dropped their manager at the conclusion of their main roster debut, leaving Paul Ellering at the end of the entrance ramp.

While this came as a huge surprise to most of us, it's obvious that Ellering probably wanted to go back to his slower lifestyle, as opposed to jumping back into the grind that comes with being a WWE Superstar.

Only time will tell if these guys can survive without Ellering. Personally, I would have loved to have seen this team remain intact, with Ellering in the corner. But with that said, Akam and Rezar are perfectly capable of carrying their own load. This duo will be just fine.
