9 WWE Superstars Who Threw Their Manager Under The Bus

9. Authors Of Pain

The Authors of Pain may have demolished their way through NXT, but they didn't make it to the top without their manager, the legendary Hall of Famer Paul Ellering. With his years of experience and his intimidating expression, his presence undoubtedly complemented the destructive duo and made them even more of a force to be reckoned with.

However, when AOP made their debut on the main WWE roster during the Raw After 'Mania, they decided it was time for a change. Right as the three of them made their way to the back, Akam and Rezar placed their fists on Ellering, threateningly holding him back as they walked off without him — dissolving their union.

This was apparently AOP's way of telling Ellering that they no longer needed him now that they were finally on the main roster. While this definitely wasn't the worst punishment ever inflicted upon a manager, it was perhaps one of the most insulting.
