With The IIconics losing something like 45 straight matches since capturing the Women's Tag Team Championships at WrestleMania 35, you'd think WWE would at least put some effort into building their other tandem champions into something credible, right?

Wrong.

Raw title-holders Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins fell to The Viking Raiders in less than three minutes last night, despite controlling much of the bout. They, like Billie Kay and Peyton Royce, looked like idiots, and Erik and Ivar finishing the match with an illegal two-person pin compounded the nonsense.

This will presumably lead to the Vikings wresting the belts from these overmatched champions. That's fine, but why put the straps on Ryder and Hawkins if your writing team is incapable of presenting them as anything other than dopes?
