The former NXT Tag Team Champions put together an 11-match winning streak after their RAW debut in December 2014, including a victory over The New Age Outlaws at the 2015 Royal Rumble.
However, the standout moment from their first month on the main roster came when they were embarrassed by three legendary teams – the nWo, Farooq & Bradshaw and Road Dogg & Billy Gunn – on an episode of RAW in January 2015.
Vince McMahon ‘buried’ The Ascension
Arn Anderson, who worked under Vince McMahon as a producer for WWE at the time, said The Ascension’s gimmick was doomed to fail when the commentators were told to “bury” them and make comparisons to The Road Warriors.
Asked if Vince McMahon would have made that call, the Hall of Famer said the WWE Chairman ultimately makes the final decision on characters and storylines.
Please credit ARN and give a H/T to Sportskeeda if you use these quotes.
