Report Two Former Wwe Champions May Have Retired

WWE released former Raw and NXT Tag Team Champions The Authors of Pain (Akam and Rezar) back on Sept. 4, 2020. Since then there’s been no sign of either man competing in another company, despite the fact that both are still in their 20s. According to Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp, an independent promoter who recently reached out in an attempt to book them was told that they had both “retired” from the business. Sapp’s report on Fightful Select added the two inquired about working for other companies including All Elite Wrestling, but management wasn’t sure if they’d be the right fit and simply left the door open for future consideration. The pair also took a look at New Japan Pro-Wrestling but the promotion wasn’t signing new talent at the time.
