There was a time when these two were destined to become the next big thing in tag team wrestling, as their incredibly dominant NXT run set the promotion ablaze.

Konnor and Victor were presented as unstoppable and this was backed up by their relentless squash matches and dominant NXT Tag Team Championship reign, which to this day ranks as the longest single run in the title's history, spanning 343 recorded days.

Sadly, this success didn't transfer with them to the main roster. The team were ultimately destroyed upon arrival as JBL disliked the duo and buried them relentlessly. This resulted in them losing all of their mystique, especially after being physically laid out by the APA and New Age Outlaws in a criminal piece of poor booking.

This embarrassment and the sudden drop of confidence from management was a signifier of their future, as they became an afterthought on the programme, barely appearing and winning even less, up until their 2019 release.

These two were easily both Marty Janetty's as neither of them even found success in tag team or singles performance. They're currently operating on the independent circuit, and it doesn't seem that they'll make a sudden comeback anytime soon.
