5. Viking Violence

Eyebrows were surely raised when everyone realised that Zelina Vega vs. B-FAB was about to happen. Neither woman is exactly known for being an in-ring general, so it's actually a shame we didn't get to see what they might've produced. Aw well, it's probs better that Sarah Logan returned.

Valhalla. Is. Coming. Baby.

Erik and Ivar managed to exhibit tremendous intensity during prior beatdowns on New Day over the summer, and they carried that over post-injury into this segment. The fact that Logan looked so imposing was another bonus point for this comeback too.

Michael Cole harping on about how The Viking Raiders plan to run roughshod over the rest of the tag-team division hammered home the point, and there is actually a chance Erik/Ivar could work with The Usos soon-ish; heel vs. heel isn't a problem considering how over "Ucey" has become.
