So, what's going on with Hawkins & Reks?

To my knowledge, the back story of this angle is this:

A few months back, Curt Hawkins & Tyler Reks randomly showed up on NXT after being ignored on RAW for quite a few months. They had banded together on RAW originally since they felt that they had been overlooked as individual performers. On NXT, they claimed that they were going to be "taking over," and refused to be ignored any more.

Hawkins would eventually be injured in a match of some sorts, and would need a cane to support his weight for a couple of weeks. This would become a signature weapon of Hawkins (to Reks' benefit, as well) in the coming weeks. In desperate attempts to get attention, Reks & Hawkins started up their own animated YouTube show and would do everything they could to make life hell for Matt Striker and then officially appointed match-maker on NXT, William Regal.

Hawkins & Reks recently kidnapped Matt Striker for Johnny Curtis & Maxine in an attempt to...well, do something. Hawkins & Reks would then meet this week's consequences: William Regal booked them in a match against each other, with the loser being fired.

I actually thought the WWE would do something like this. In my mind, Regal had Hawkins & Reks face off with an IC Title shot on the line. One guy would win and then go on to lose to Big Show -- but the ultimate goal would be Regal dissolving their partnership. Now, this scenario has essentially done the same thing, but the question is: Where do we go from here?

Do Hawkins & Reks spend some time in FCW working on their promo skills? Reks has seemingly gotten a lot better since he started, but Hawkins' mic skills, while not horrible, leave a lot to be desired. Do Hawkins & Reks decide to gate-crash NXT last week and perhaps take out William Regal? Do they gate-crash RAW or SmackDown!, hoping to do what they did on NXT on a grander stage? Or has their partnership successfully been dissolved by Regal? Will one or both be completely repackaged?
