Championship Contender
I didn't watch NXT when they were there, but I heard they were actually really good and over with the audience. Now, these guys seem lost, the gimmick's not working and there's a lot of misuse with the term 'buried' on these forums, but these guys are the definition of buried. They haven't won, have no compelling story and they are on there way to nowhere fast in just a few months.
That being said, there's still a lot of talent here that can be salvaged. How would you do it? I can see them being influenced by Wyatt and joining their clan. It adds a new element to his group. They can keep Harper and a returning Rowan as singles guys, tweak around the wardrobe and face paint of the Ascension and have them be the tag team of the family.
Or, I can see them cutting their hair, putting on suits and somehow bullying their way to be the security team for The Authority, making J and J faces or ultimately disappearing.
Finally, they can just disappear for a few weeks or months. And then when PTP or whoever's the champ at the time wins a big match and are celebrating in the ring, they can jump in out of nowhere and hit Fall of Man. Have them do that to a few teams and maybe some singles wrestlers. Subtly change their outfits, lose the shoulder pads and the 'welcome to the wasteland' catchphrase. Humanize them more, yet make them darker.
What do you think? Would either of these scenarios work? How would you repackage The Ascension?
