In WWE’s developmental brand NXT, The Ascension, featuring Viktor and Konnor, stood out as dominant forces. However, their transition to the main roster didn’t go as planned, leading to their departure from WWE. 

After leaving WWE, The Ascension looked forward to exploring the independent wrestling scene and conventions.

A Journey Beyond WWE

However, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted their plans, causing a series of setbacks. Viktor expressed frustration at how external factors continually derailed their efforts.

Their attempts to collaborate with other wrestling organizations like Ring of Honor and NWA faced similar challenges. Despite their best efforts, circumstances beyond their control thwarted their plans, leaving Viktor questioning if they were cursed.

While The Ascension is no longer active as a team, fans remain hopeful for a potential reunion in the future.

In their journey beyond WWE, both Viktor and Konnor have individually pursued different paths. While they may not be actively working together as The Ascension anymore, their individual pursuits continue to garner interest from fans.
