Over the years there have been many tag teams who have made it to the WWE main roster with hopes of success, and while some make it, others end up getting lost in the shuffle.
Years ago former NXT Tag Team Champions The Ascension were called up, but they didn’t have much luck with their main roster run.
Shortly after they were called up The Ascension participated in a segment where they were embarrassed by WWE legends, including the NWO, and Arn Anderson noted on his podcast that Vince McMahon instructed the commentators to bury the team.
“Why would you take any character that is on our show that the company professes to being the number one wrestling company, or the number one sports entertainment company in the entire world, and put them on our TV show with valuable TV time and bury them, have the announcers bury them?”
Anderson was then asked if Vince McMahon would have been the one to make the call, and he said that in the end it’s Vince who makes the final call.
“Sure. Everything character-wise passes by the big chair [Vince McMahon]. If it’s the last place they go, it goes by the big chair for approval. Make no mistake, characters, angles, you name it.”
Unfortunately for The Ascension they never ended up getting much of a push on the main roster, and they were released
