Most Notable Return: The Authors of Pain

This week's most noticeable return was the team of Akam and Rezar, collectively known as The Authors of Pain. They made their debut back on the Raw after WrestleMania, defeating Heath Slater and Rhyno, after which they ditched Paul Ellering as their manager. They returned this week with a victory over two local competitors. Having the Authors of Pain on Raw weekly will, not only keep them known to the viewers, but will also help build up a stagnant tag team division which needs to be revitalized. Here's hoping WWE will keep the Authors of Pain on television for the foreseeable future.
