10 Ups And 6 Downs From WWE Raw (Nov 18)

5. Authors Of Pain Strike

After months of delivering taped promos, the Authors of Pain finally struck Monday night.

Backstage, Zack Ryder & Curt Hawkins were giving an interview about a Raw Tag Team Championship title match later that night, when AOP stepped up to them and quickly beat them down.

The beating was short, but it took Hawkins & Ryder out of their tag title match, and it followed exactly what Akam & Rezar have been saying in promos for months. They got in another team’s face, stared them down and then beat them into submission.

Hopefully, this is a sign that we’ll see them in the ring soon enough.
