The unique and unsettling tag team known as The Righteous could be on their way to WWE. A new report indicates that the duo, Vincent and Dutch, have finished their dates on the independent scene, and a pair of cryptic social media posts have fans excited about their future.On X, Dutch shared an image of himself and Vincent, declaring that they will “Smike, not to welcome” but rather to warn. The tag-team then declared that “The Righteous are coming.””The Righteous are Coming”In the comments, many saw this as a nod to an impending future with WWE. One fan shared that “I hope it’s WWE” while another included the red circle commonly associated with the Wyatt Sicks. Another dropped a gif of Triple H, while others encouraged WWE’s Chief Content Officer to ink a deal with the duo.Vincent and Dutch haven’t publicly responded to reports of WWE’s interest, but it’s likely they have seen the wealth of support from fans. In another post, Vincent shared his love for the fans and their support.A Second Chance In WWEIt was reported back in 2022 that The Righteous had taken part in a WWE tryout alongside other independent wrestlers. While they were not signed at that time, they have clearly remained on the company’s radar.After the tryout, the duo signed with All Elite Wrestling in 2023. They were primarily featured on Ring of Honor programming and were briefly associated with WWE Hall of Famer Jake “The Snake” Roberts. Their profiles were removed from the official AEW roster page in May of this year, signaling their departure from the company.More news: WWE Superstar Announces Retirement MatchA Cult-Like Wrestling FactionThe Righteous were first formed in Ring of Honor prior to Tony Khan purchasing the promotion. The group, which often included other members, had a dark, cult-like persona, with Vincent as the charismatic, manipulative leader. During their time in ROH, they held the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team titles.The duo’s bizarre and captivating characters would be a unique addition to the WWE’s tag team division, particularly on the NXT brand, which has a history of embracing more theatrical and character-driven acts. With the pair previously having a WWE tryout in late 2022 that was unsuccessful, the pair may finally arrive in the company three years later.More WWE News:
