Then again, even if you can chalk this up to being a rehash, I don't see what the problem with it is so long as it's not a literal carbon copy. Pro-wrestling in general is a collective rehash of something done before it, so if it's utter originality you're looking for, you're in the wrong market, because you're never gonna get it. There's a reason every new star gets compared to a star prior to him and called the next X, same as there's a reason we still have heels and faces, factions and tag teams, swerves and dusty finishes, etc. They're all rehashes of something that occurred before them, but so long as the timing is right and there's a market for it, they'll sell. That's all that matters.
Aces and Eights' issue isn't that similarities between them and the nWo can be made. Their issue is that unlike the nWo, they don't win a fuckin' thing, which makes their entire existence pointless, because unlike the nWo, and even the APA, they come off as weak. It's not even the men beneath the masks that matter here it's how they're perceived on screen. Until they start doing more damage in the ring, they'll never be what they should, and the more they continue to lose week-after-week, the more and more there credibility goes out the window.
