Way to make The Viking Raiders look stupid, WWE!

The bearded pair got suckered in when Xavier Woods was obviously faking being in a wheelchair. This, to recap, comes after them being handily slapped around by Kofi Kingston on his own. Yes, everyone understands why WWE wants to make the feud seem competitive, but at least avoid making Erik and Ivar look like thickos.

Woods even had a blanket over his legs in the chair, which should've been a dead giveaway to The Raiders that he was bluffing. They didn't smell a rat though, and ended up taking another kendo stick beating at the hands of New Day. Oh well, next week's 'No DQ' effort should pull the nose up.

Erik and Ivar better win that. They should be WWE's ongoing concern, and it's hardly like the Woods/Kingston combo needs another win anytime soon. Nah, sorry, but this was sh*te follow up on last week's funeral skit.
