5. The Authors of Pain, NXT Tag Team Champions
1st Reign; 28 January 2017
Say whatever you want about this young tag team, as long as you say something nice; Akam and Rezar will not tolerate otherwise. These two hosses have come long, long way since being referred to as “one of the Authors of Pain” and “the other Author of Pain”
Pure, unadulterated ruination is the game for these designers of destruction. While some teams have brought the good fight to Akam and Rezar, it is made abundantly clear that The Authors of Pain sit squarely on top of the tag team division in NXT. With the physicality of these mammoth maulers, and the guidance of one of the greatest managers of all time in Paul Ellering, The Authors of Pain remain a huge force to be reckoned with in NXT.
