The Ascension's four-year stay on the WWE main roster has been a nightmare. In NXT, Konnor and Viktor were booked like a modern-day Road Warriors and (despite the latter lacking some size) they were treated as monsters by the announcers. By the time Elimination Chamber 2015 rolled around, that aura had long-since faded.

It's not that The Ascension were terrible in the match itself. They really weren't. Konnor pinned Lucha Dragons member Kalisto and both face-painted heels also pinned Diego of Los Matadores to eliminate them too. A couple of eliminations in any Chamber match is nothing to be ashamed of.

Still, this kind of brief dominance was too little, too late.

Fans had already been conditioned over the previous 18 months to view The Ascension as a lower-level tag-team who were never going to win something as historic as the first ever team-based Chamber match. Short spell in the match as killers or not, they were also-rans.
