When a Promotion Isn’t a Promotion: NXT’s Greatest Disappointments

#3 - The Ascension

Dylan Fry

If you would have told me in 2014 that the Ascension would come up to the main roster and never even challenge for the tag team titles, I would have told you that you were nuts. Unfortunately, two weeks after being called up, you could already see that they would have a tough road to the top of the main rosters tag team division.

Fast forward to the present and the once dominant and physical tag team have now been relegated to a comedy act. I don’t think the Ascension will ever be able to get off this list, which is very unfortunate for the longest reigning tag team champions in the history of NXT.
