Despite Kross’ achievements, he noted that even the greatest proclamation is soon to be forgotten without a scribe. Without….Authors.

Scarlett asked “Do you see the vision” and a silhouette of what appears to be Paul Ellering with the Authors of Pain (Akam & Rezar) next to him.

Fightful Select reported the following on the Authors of Pain on December 21:

Akam and Rezar could be coming back soon.

Stop me if you’ve heard this before, but there’s good reason. Fightful Select has learned that the Authors of Pain aka AOP are planned for a return to WWE TV soon. Specifically, we’re told that the working plan for them as of now is for them to appear on the Smackdown brand, though that could always change.

In January 2023, Fightful reported that there had been chatter about WWE interest in them. However, we’re told that the duo has actually been signed for almost a year and a half. Specifically, we’re told that the two were at the WWE Performance Center in August of 2022.

Those that we spoke to said that Paul Ellering has been expected to join the two, which had long been an important factor to them.
