KARRION KROSS TEASER NEW ALLIANCE WITH AOP

During this Friday's SmackDown, Karrion Kross teased a possible new alliance with a duo that is returning to WWE, AOP. It has been reported for almost a year that The Authors of Pain (Akam & Rezar) will return to WWE, something that has not yet happened.

Last Thursday, Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp reported that there was a plan for The Authors of Pain to return to WWE programming soon, and that their most likely destination would be SmackDown.

These plans were confirmed during yesterday's program, with Karrion Kross starring in a vignette in which he states that he needs "authors" so that his proclamations last over time. Then, Scarlett asked her husband if he had a vision, and the silhouettes of Paul Ellering and Authors of Pain (Akam & Rezar) were seen.
