Paul Ellering shows it only takes one Author of Pain to cause havoc in an NXT ring, as Akam demolishes two local competitors by himself. Video courtesy of the award-winning WWE Network.

Only Akam was needed to absolutely destroy The Authors of Pain’s opponents and pick up the emphatic victory.

Rezar spent the contest standing outside the ring, talking with Paul Ellering, but made his way back inside the squared circle after the contest to deliver the Super Collider to the NXT Tag Team Champions’ unfortunate prey.

Akam & Rezar’s WWE Hall of Fame manager then stood in the ring with his monsters, calling Heavy Machinery’s challenges foolish. Tucker Knight & Otis Dozovic didn’t take long to respond, stomping out to the ring to go face-to-face with the towering pair.

Instead of letting the potential earth-shattering collision take place, Ellering stepped in front of his powerful tandem as they backed away from the tense confrontation.
