The Final Testament is a villainous professional wrestling stable, consisting of leader Karrion Kross, Scarlett, Akam, Rezar, and Paul Ellering, who serves as the group's manager. They are all currently signed to WWE, where they perform on the Raw brand.
History
[edit]On the December 22, 2023 episode of SmackDown, Kross and Scarlett appeared in a vignette, stating that they have formed a new alliance, but without revealing the identities of their new associates.[1] On January 5, 2024 at SmackDown: New Year's Revolution, Kross, accompanied by Scarlett, attacked The Pride (Bobby Lashley and the Street Profits) alongside the Authors of Pain (AOP; Akam and Rezar) and Paul Ellering who officially made their return to WWE, confirming their alliance in the process.[2] At Night 2 of WrestleMania XL, the stable lost against The Pride in a Philadelphia Street Fight ending their feud.[3] On the following episode of NXT, The Final Testament made their NXT return with AOP attacking Axiom and Nathan Frazer, who have just won the NXT Tag Team Championships from Baron Corbin and Bron Breakker.[4]
Feud with The New Day (2024)
[edit]At Night 2 of the 2024 WWE Draft, The Final Testament were drafted to the Raw brand.[5] At Week 2 of Spring Breakin', AOP failed to defeat Axiom and Frazer for the titles after interference from New Catch Republic.[6] The Final Testament then began a feud with The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods). Kross attempted to form a wedge between the two tag team competitors, claiming that Kingston was holding Woods back from having a successful singles career, leading to several on-screen and backstage bouts between the two factions. The feud concluded on the August 19 episode of Raw when The New Day and Odyssey Jones defeated The Final Testament in a Six-Man Tag Team Match. On October 21 the New Day once again beat The Final Testament with help from R-Truth. They start beating up Truth while The New Day Ditches him and then The Wyatt Sicks appear and attack the group.
