Speed Equalization rules have this to say: "The combat speed of that faster character is assumed to be equalized to the combat speed of the slower character. Every other speed the faster character has is reduced by the same multiplier. This includes the speed of any attacks, projectiles, reactions, perception, flight, etc."
Unless I'm mistaken, their reaction and combat speed would scale down to the WWE fighter's levels, which are at peak human.
Dunno if the total speed equal affects their acrobatics or not, but Ki-Go's acrobatics show way better capabilities than the WWE fighters (at least till RandomGuy sends something good pertaining to that), so that won't be much of an issue.
The other advantages are valid though.
EDIT: Forgot to clarify the sleep manip shenanigans are huge wincons that will end the match quickly in incap, and I'm not sure how A Town Down Under can handle them.
The wrestlers has some abilities that I'm certainly interested in that could even out this fight, specifically:
Instinctive Action (Most wrestlers are able to kick out of finishers on pure instinct alone, which has been backed up by commentary)
Not sure how their power mimicry and technique mimicry would work since I'm not knowledgeable about WWE at all. We should probably wait for RandomGuy to respond for further elaboration.

Iirc, Kim's reactions basically stay the same here, if not a bit lower, based on a lot of other matches with similar characters. Saw something similar with another match.
Edit: Remembered it wrong.
From what I've seen, they haven't really displayed anything on the level of like really impressive IR feats, like Goku using Ultra Instinct and the like. But even then, Shego has fought Kim in the Battle Suit, which does give it's user automatic reactions, so I don't think this would be too much of a problem for her.
I guess that would be kind of a valid pro for the wrestlers, but even still, it happened a good time after he was getting stomped, and due to how many pros Kim and Shego have and their several opportunities to end the match quickly, I'm not sure that he'll have a chance to put this to good use.

Tbh, it doesn't really seem that impressive to me. He did copy one wrestling move, which shouldn't really be that difficult for him, a wrestler, but Kim and Shego's fighting styles are vastly different and more complex. And even if he did copy their styles, Shego and Kim already fight each other to a standstill like every day, so it wouldn't even be much of a hinderance.
I would like to point out that the fight literally takes place in an open field, meaning Kim and Shego's ranged options are going to be extra effective due to lack of cover + from what I'm seeing the WWE fighters instinctive actions are primarily, if not entirely, offence based and not used for dodging and instead used for counter attacks which wouldn't be effective until the fight got into close range combat.
Can't see many big advantages besides maybe the fighters using their Social Influence to taunt Kim and Shego into a hand to hand fight that prevent a complete gun-down due to either range or flight
Both Waller and Theory have experience fighting characters with LS on the level of Kim and Shego's.
Waller is almost always used to having the strength disadvantage in a fight (the guy's fairly skinny), so he always finds ways to get around it in the first place.
Before I really dive deep into this, yes, Waller and Theory are only Peak Human in terms of LS, however they can both casually lift Kim and Shego's body weight (Kim has the weight of your average teenage/adolescent girl, and Shego has the weight of your average adult woman), so lifting them would be no problem.
Keep in mind that Theory (Peak Human LS) outwrestled Lashley (Class 5 to Class 25 LS), who's comparable to all of those wrestlers who performed said feats. Waller is comparable to Theory in skill, so he can very likely do the same.
Hell, even if you don't believe that Waller can do the same and outwrestle Kim and/or Shego (even though I can definitely argue he can), he still has ways of beating someone with far higher LS than him. The best example is his match against Sanga. Despite getting manhandled in the early portions of the match, Waller picks his spots carefully and was able to temporarily stun his opponent and hit his finisher to get the win.
I do want to clarify that Theory nor Waller should by no means have Class 5 to Class 25 LS due to the reasons I've listed above. It's more so a skill/intelligence thing. Speaking of…
Boxing is not the only thing Waller is very adept at. Waller is also trained in MMA, BJJ, and Capoeira. The following clip clearly shows his MMA/BJJ background. He clearly knows Capoeira as well, as he's knowledgeable in using the Vingativa, as well as the Meia Lua De Compasso. Btw, BJJ revolves around the concept that the smaller, weaker opponent can successfully defend him/herself against a bigger/stronger opponent by using leverage and weight distribution, taking the fight to the ground and using a number of holds/submissions to defeat them, so he can definitely utilize that to outwrestle Kim and/or Shego.
After a hard-hitting, physical match, Theory was able todefeat Dolph Ziggler clean. Ziggler has a great amateur wrestling background. Ziggler set the record for most pins in St. Edward High School with 82 pins. When he was a wrestler at Kent State University, he at one point, held the record for most career wins in the team's history, earning 121 wins.
Theory was able to trade blows with the likes of Drew McIntyre. McIntyre is the same guy who had wars with the likes of Sheamus. In fact, while participating in a grueling ‘Good Old Fashioned Donnybrook’ match, McIntyre was even capable of kicking out of The Brogue Kick. The Brogue Kick is one of the most dangerous moves in all of Pro Wrestling. A referee suffered chronic neck pain when hit with the move. The Brogue Kick was stated to cause extreme nerve damage and tingling in the extremities of the victim. A move this dangerous was something that Drew McIntyre kicked out of, and Theory traded blows with McIntyre.
Both Waller and Theory have fought very acrobatic wrestlers before. It just depends on how Kim and Shego are compared to the wrestlers Waller and Theory have fought.
Extremely vague statement. We have no clue if these pro wrestlers are inferior or superior to Waller and Theory. That's like if there was a statement made by Waller and Theory saying that fighting security guards is an easy task, and I used that argument for every fight Waller and Theory have that involves a security guard. We have no clue if WWE's security guards are on the same level as the security guard they're currently fighting.
EDIT: Forgot to clarify the sleep manip shenanigans are huge wincons that will end the match quickly in incap, and I'm not sure how A Town Down Under can handle them.
According to SBA (Standard Battle Assumptions), Waller and Theory would have to incapacitated for at least a day in order for a victory for Kim and Shego.
This is only useful against people who are more skilled than Theory, and I'm not confident in saying Kim and Shego are more skilled than Theory, let alone Waller.

They can "copy" basic moves. The most complicated it gets for them is copying submission maneuvers they see from other wrestlers, but it ain't anything crazy.
from what I'm seeing the WWE fighters instinctive actions are primarily, if not entirely, offence based and not used for dodging and instead used for counter attacks which wouldn't be effective until the fight got into close range combat.
Counter attacks are defensive by nature. The whole intent behind it is to stop or oppose an enemy's attack, which is defensive way to create offense (a good offense is a good defense basically).

Okay? Shego and Kim have triumphed over people who have vastly higher LS and strength than them as well. Like for example, the many times where she's had to deal with massive robots like in Crush and the So The Drama movie, the latter she did without even getting hit once, only getting out of it with a slightly burnt dress. Kim constantly deals with enemies that should outclass her, yet she always comes out on top. The difference is that you're arguing that he'll get the advantage despite being beaten early on, but if he does start off with an advantage, it could be wraps.

But as stated, he can't really dodge instinctively and Shego's first reaction would be to projectile spam while he's down. Plus, you haven't really shown any evidence that they are capable of using their instincts on such a level that they would be able to attack while sleeping.
I was about to say that 5 minutes won't be enough but then I saw the Shego Die x4 statement and yea, that just seals the deal the moment they fall asleep.
Does Kim incorporate grappling and throwing into her fighting style? Something I have come to know from a prior matchup is that they do have techniques to (for the lack of a word) slip out of her grip. It seems effective to the point that it was a legitimate point in a matchup against a Class M opponent.
"Shawn Michaels get caught in a chokeslam position by The Undertaker, but he counters the move by using the momentum of him getting lifted up in the air to get out of harm's way. This is something Waller and Theory are more than capable of doing."
(bare with me, I'm on mobile again)
Not that it would matter much, just something to take note of.

So, it's once again fantasy characters vs slightly super normal humans.
From what I see, Kim and Shego have a profound advantage in skill, experience, acrobatics, weaponry, LS and are 2X stronger.
All the crazy adventures and opponents faced by the two greatly trump any realistic pro wrestling experience the A-Town Under have tbh, we are talking about ninjas, robots, superhuman martial artists, other wrestlers, special agents etc... all with their own degrees of superhuman skills. Put in there the variety of adventures and situation in different environments and conditions that the two have lived and you get the lifetime of 5 people augmented in craziness by 50X.
Kim and Shego's agility is straight up superhuman, well beyond anything a real human can hope to get close to and will allow them to dance such opponents with ease.
Aside from the aforementioned skill and experience, their fighting style is superhuman as well and allows them to pull off things a normal human like the two wrestlers wouldn't even dream to have to face against and is surely beyond anything the two have adapted to.
Shego's energy projection blasts and marksmanship is already a super unfair advantage, I'd argue she would even be able to finish the fight by zoning them out while Kim polishes her nails tbh, she can spam those things and make them explode or grow bigger than a human. They would also horribly scorch them, if not straight up murder them through AP and heat.
Kim has tools that could situationally be useful, and while not a first-option, they are still there for the use, considering how ingenious she is and the experience she has.
The A-Team's instinctive reaction, mimicry and AD is fairly unimpressive when compared to fantasy characters, and their degree is completely unsufficient to let them copy or adapt to such crazy abilities.
And for how well the two might have fared against stronger opponents, we're still talking of elephant-like strength that is soon going to be class 100, so that option is out of the realm of possibilities, even assuming they could somehow put their hands on them.
Yeah, I do feel sorry for the wrestlers that I can't say they'd fare as well as they might like....
But it does seem like Kim & Shego would statistically overwhelm them in terms of LS if/when the wrestlers try grabbing them before the wrestlers know better, & even then, what will they do?
They can't really get close to Shego, or she can just press a hand to them & light them up, for example. & I'd assume Shego has plenty of experience using her powers against projectiles.
Every possible win condition is either dodged by the duo, wouldn't work under scrutiny, or would require extreme excuses and pushing the combatants to out of character for A-Town Down Under to win.
