This stark opposite was the deepest sadness as the heart of Konnor and Viktor's damaging year. Their arguable limitations hadn't previously mattered, but their trajectories once determined by productive and motivated Triple H were now in the hands of an already-bored Vince McMahon.

The now-familiar tale wasn't yet so well known, but after the duo took a senseless battering from The APA, The New Age Outlaws and New World Order in January, they were easy pickings for the Raw regulars for the rest of the year.

Nobody ever accused the duo of being the best all-rounders on the show, but what with wrestling not being real this shouldn't have ever mattered.
