New Deals Signed
Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona have been a formidable force in both the AEW and Ring of Honor tag team divisions since their official debut as a team in 2022. Their new long-term deals secure their position in the company and pave the way for a continued push.
The duo has recently formed a new, exciting alliance on television. They are currently aligned with the high-flying superstar Ricochet.
The Enforcers of The Mogul Embassy
The Gates of Agony had their most successful run as the powerhouse enforcers for the larger Mogul Embassy faction. The group, which was led by Swerve Strickland and Prince Nana, was a dominant force in both AEW and ROH.

Alongside Brian Cage, Kaun and Liona held the Ring of Honor World Six-Man Tag Team Championships on two separate occasions. Their first reign was a dominant one, lasting an impressive 284 days. This history established them as proven champions and a legitimate threat to any opponent.

A Throwback Powerhouse Team
The Gates of Agony bring a unique style to AEW's tag team landscape. In a division often known for its high-flying and fast-paced action, Kaun and Liona are a throwback, no-nonsense team that relies on brute force and power. The combination of Kaun's technical prowess and Liona's raw, explosive athleticism has made them a formidable duo.
While they have yet to hold the AEW or ROH World Tag Team titles as a duo, their new contracts and recent alliance with Ricochet position them as major contenders for the gold in the near future.
