The tag team formerly known as The Authors of Pain are launching a new wrestling promotion next month.

Gzim Selmani (the former Rezar) and Sunny Dhinsa (the former Akam) have announced that their new Wrestling Entertainment Series promotion will launch with a show taking place at Motorpoint Arena in Nottingham, England on Saturday, June 4. The event will include Selmani & Dhinsa’s first match since they were released by WWE in September 2020.

Paul Ellering, who was AOP’s manager in NXT, will manage Selmani & Dhinsa at the inaugural Wrestling Entertainment Series event.

The show will be available to watch live via Fite TV.

“Some of the biggest names in professional wrestling will all be announced very soon for this celebratory kick-off event. WES already has an action-packed schedule in place for the remainder of 2022 with several yet-to-be-revealed dates across Europe & the Middle East,” a press release said.

“WES will also see the in-ring return of the Selmani & Dhinsa with legendary manager Paul Ellering by their side. The duo is set to re-establish themselves as one of the most dominant forces in the tag team wrestling division.”

AOP are former Raw Tag Team Champions and NXT Tag Team Champions.

Selmani is the co-founder of an NFT company named BullApePlanet.
