– It looks like Viktor of The Ascension is replacing Adam Rose on the current WWE European tour. Viktor came out with Curtis Axel at today’s WWE live event in Belfast and was wearing a “Social Outcasts” t-shirt. Axel lost to Goldust and the two beat him down after the match until R-Truth made the save.
