The Prime Time Players

The Prime Time Players were an American professional wrestling tag team performing in the WWE, composed of Darren Young and Titus O'Neil.

The two initially competed on WWE NXT, debuting as a team in January 2012 and were later promoted to the main roster in April of that year.

[11] They started on a winning streak defeating the likes Ezekiel Jackson and Yoshi Tatsu and Santino Marella and Zack Ryder.

[12][13] However, on the May 18 edition of SmackDown, their winning streak ended when they were defeated by the Tag Team Champions Kofi Kingston and R-Truth.

[15] On the July 16 episode of Raw, the Prime Time Players unsuccessfully challenged Kofi Kingston and R-Truth for the WWE Tag Team Championship.

[20] On the August 13 edition of Raw, it was announced that the Prime Time Players would receive their championship match at SummerSlam.

At Survivor Series, the Prime Time Players took part in a losing effort in a ten-man elimination tag team match.

[24] On the August 19 episode of Raw, the Prime Time Players started to wrestle as faces, due to management's and the fans' support for Darren Young coming out.

[25] At the pre-show of Night of Champions, the Prime Time Players won a "Tag Team Turmoil" match and thus a title shot by last eliminating the Real Americans (Antonio Cesaro and Jack Swagger).

After WrestleMania, they began performing comedic skits that poked fun at other tag teams including The New Day,[28] The Ascension,[29] Los Matadores[30] and Tyson Kidd and Cesaro.

On the November 9 episode of Raw, O'Neil competed in the first round of the WWE World Heavyweight Championship tournament against Kevin Owens, in a losing effort.

On the February 2, 2016, taping of Main Event, the duo returned to team with The Usos, to defeat The Ascension, Stardust and Tyler Breeze.

[34] They have since quietly disbanded when O'Neil received a 60-day suspension after the February 8 episode of Raw after an alleged physical altercation with Vince McMahon.

On the August 1 episode of Raw, O'Neil started a slow heel turn when he questioned Young's motives on being "great again".

[38] On the August 15 episode of Raw, Young and O'Neil reconciled and were placed in an ad hoc tag team match against The Shining Stars.
