12 Perfect Ways To Retire Current WWE Gimmicks (And How)
10. The Ascension
Vince McMahon has no idea what the "Illuminati" is, so the Ascension are solidly f***ed in their current gimmick. Evil dudes who believe in the Illuminati is cool in like, e-wrestling feds and as a part of the Ministry of Darkness. However, neither of those things exist at-present in the WWE. Thus, the Ascension need something more. In a manner similar to what happened with The New Day, maybe putting Konnor, Viktor and Bo Dallas on the road together as "Bo and the Bolievers" could be something. Bo Dallas confronting the pair and asking them to be his bodyguards would be either comic gold or develop into a solid midcard heel trio. Anything's better than what any of those three are doing right now, right?
