Monday was probably their biggest match yet, as they tangled with Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson in a hard-hitting tag match. The contest saw Erik & Ivar pushed more than they had been to this point on the main roster, while following through on a previous angle where the two teams eliminated each other from a tag team turmoil match.

The Viking Raiders showed off their skills, rallying fans to their side and earning some well-deserved applause after they won. Hopefully, there’s more in store for the bruising duo.
