WWE previously had to make a tough call and release AOP from their contracts, and neither member has made much noise in the pro wrestling business since then. That being said, Akam and Rezar are still in great shape, and it seems that they could be on their way back to the company.
Now, rumors have been swirling about the tag team being signed to WWE quietly in recent months and are awaiting debut. These reports have also stated that they could make their return to NXT instead of the main roster.
PWInsider.com now reports that Paul Ellering, who was the kayfabe reason for the team being in WWE, was spotted in Orlando, Florida ahead of tomorrow night’s NXT.

We will have to wait and see if the team shows their faces on tomorrow night’s edition of NXT.
Vince McMahon did a lot of things to change Triple H’s NXT creative throughout their time working in those roles. Paul Ellering didn’t last long as the AOP’s manager after his main roster call-up, but that was not Ellering’s doing. Vince McMahon just made the call to break them up, but it seems that Triple H might bring them back together. Only time will tell what they do on the WWE main roster under Triple H’s control, but they’d certainly be in better hands, and by the looks of things, they may start off with Shawn Michaels in NXT.
