Name For Karrion Kross & AOP Faction Revealed
Karrion Kross & Authors Of Pain have been given a faction name
On last week’s WWE SmackDown, Akam & Rezar of the Authors of Pain returned after a few years away, aligning themselves with former manager Paul Ellering, along with Karrion Kross & Scarlett. This new faction targeted Bobby Lashley & The Street Profits, leaving them laid out after a brutal assault. On this week’s edition of Friday Night SmackDown, their group name has now been revealed.
Lashley & The Street Profits, who also have a reported new stable name in “The Pride”, were interrupted by Paul Ellering during a promo on SmackDown. The legendary manager walked onto the stage without saying a word. He gestured to the screen and a video package aired in which Kross cut a promo on his new allies, the sadistic nature of Ellering, and on the trio they were targeting, noting that Lashley & The Profits were first on their list. Towards the end of the promo, Kross said that they were going to bring about a “new era”, before then revealing the faction to be called “The Final Testament”.
The AOP had been reportedly signed to WWE since all the way back in 2022, but it wasn’t until last week that they made their on-screen return to join forces with Kross.
