Has WWE Given Up On The Ascension?

[Prince Bálor]

- It definitely appears WWE has given up on pushing Konnor and Viktor of The Ascension, or they're at least putting plans on hold. The former NXT Tag Team Champions have lost their last 11 matches. Their last win came at the March 2nd WWE Superstars taping as they defeated Darren Young and Titus O'Neil. Before that, their last win was at the February 17th SmackDown tapings when they defeated Big E and Xavier Woods. They lost to Sin Cara and Kalisto on Superstars this week.

Why am I not surprised?
I used to care about these guys, but when they got called up on the main roster... Well, it was all downhill from there.

Why were they called up?

 

[ShaRpY HaRdY]

They're perfect for NXT, should go back down there IMO..

PTP >> Ascension

 

[Prince Bálor]

Why were they called up?

To get ruined?

 

[The GOAT]

They were losing to a newly reformed Prime Time Players the last I saw of them, so I'd say their relevancy on the main roster is pretty much done. Jobbing to the jobbers is not how you book a pair of powerhouses that you want to be taken seriously, not to mention ten other straight losses in a row.

 

[ShaRpY HaRdY]

There was no storyline for them when they were called up and I don't foresee any credible/good ones for them anytime in the near future so I mean I'm not sure what good it does to have them on the main roster.. put them in SmackDown or Main Event exclusive storylines or something.. geeze.

Yeah, having random squash matches wasn't gonna cut it, obviously. They'd better not treat the upcoming NXT guys like they've been doing with The Ascension.

Yeah the squash matches with no storyline helped nothing.. at least when Rusev was doing it he was doing it as apart of a Russia is dominant over US type story.

They never gave a shit in the first place.

JBL probably wanted someone to put him over.

 

[Leo C]

That was fast. Although, yeah, having the announcers bury people every show, giving them nothing to do and having 40 year olds beat them up doesn't help.

The only announcer who had at least tried putting them over was Booker, Cole and JBL were shitting on them constantly.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

Good. They suck. They sucked in NXT too. No talent. Shit gimmick.

At least they were somewhat bearable in NXT, had matches actually go over 5 minutes.

I prefer shorter matches with them. The less existent the better
