Following the news that WWE released Sin Cara and Luke Harper, it was also announced that The Ascensions Konnor and Viktor had been allowed to leave the company.

The former NXT Tag Team Champions featured sporadically on WWE programming after their main-roster debut in December 2014, but they had not competed in a televised match since the week of WrestleMania 35 in April 2019.

Speaking on the latest episode of Sportskeedas Dropkick DiSKussions, Tom Colohue told host Korey Gunz that the duos professional behaviour played a part in WWE granting them their releases.

Having established themselves as one of the most dominant tag teams in NXT history, The Ascension failed to replicate that success following their call-up to the main roster in December 2014.

Although they picked up some statement-making victories in early 2015, notably against The New Age Outlaws and Goldust & Stardust, it soon became clear that they would struggle to be taken seriously as legitimate Tag Team Championship contenders.

In total, they earned just three Tag Team title opportunities in five years on RAW and SmackDown, with their most recent title match coming against Chad Gable and Jason Jordan at Elimination Chamber in February 2017.
