I wonder if we'll ever know the Ascension's motivation or the source of their power. Are they Illuminati? What is the significance of them bearing the eye of Ra? The greatest tragedy of their failure to catch on on the main roster is that this story will never be told.
They uh, don't tend to tell anyone's story to that level of depth. Like I'd envision Tyler Breeze as a former model who got blackballed from the modelling scene for attacking people he thought were uglier than him but in ~deepest lore~ it was actually models he felt threatened by. A sociopathic, violent and dangerous man.
But he just takes selfies now I guess.
