After Mondays Squash City loss to Enzo Amore & Big Cass, youve got to believe thats it for the Vaudevillains being part of the Tag Team Championships conversation. The duo ate the pinfall at Money in the Bank, and Monday they were manhandled by Enzo and Cass.

So now, that probably means Aiden English and Simon Gotch will be jobbing for just about any team that comes along. Sadly, theyre the second NXT Tag Team Champions to get swallowed whole on the main roster, with the Ascension in a state of perpetual losing.

Its worth noting that the Vaudevillains dont have a terrible won-loss record in WWE, but theyve been little more than an afterthought since being called up, and crowd reaction isnt exactly reassuring. Maybe theyll hang around until they catch on, but the old timey strongmen probably arent going to be sniffing tag gold in WWE anytime soon.
