10 Wrestlers At Risk Of Missing Out On The WrestleMania 38 Card
9. The Viking Raiders
Surely WWE aren’t planning on keeping the Viking Raiders/Usos rivalry going all the way to ‘Mania? The non-starter of a match at Elimination Chamber was only the latest way WWE has undermined the former War Machine. They just don’t feel like credible challengers to the SmackDown Tag Titles. WWE need to wrap this feud up as quickly as possible and move the Bloodline boys onto something more serious.
It’s not that The Raiders are a bad team. They’re a pair of big, hard hitting dudes who could be booked as dominant destroyers; something akin to a modern day Road Warriors or Demolition. Sadly WWE have consistently booked them as mugs and losers.
Having missed last year’s WrestleMania due to injury, it’ll be a shame to see Erik and Ivar lose out again. Unfortunately, all this stolen helmet stuff just doesn’t feel ‘Mania worthy, and another six weeks of it would really be stretching things beyond breaking point.
The Raiders would be better off hoping for a fresh start after The Show Of Shows.
