2. Breaking News On Broken Bodies

WWE

No Ryan Satin this week but he wasn't exactly a big miss when Renee Young could break some not-that-hot gossip herself with the help of a graphic.

Said still informed us that The Viking Raiders would be defending their Raw Tag Team Championships at Sunday's TLC in an Open Challenge similar to their Monday Night victory over The Street Profits.

There they were dominant despite an early flurry from Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins, but could the popular former NXT stars go again against the titleholders? Odds are WWE have booked this because they don't yet know themselves, but no info has more intrigue than an already-confirmed match at present, such is the state of that particular division.
