Another week, another convincing Viking Raiders tag team victory.

Hopefully, WWE will pull the trigger on a bigger push for Eric and Ivar, but for now, seeing the duo manhandle smaller tag teams in short order is entertaining enough, especially if they get to throw them around like rag dolls.

The hapless jobbers got slammed around before being put away, and then the Raiders took out poor Curt Hawkins, who was chasing Drake Maverick and the 24/7 Championship.

Still let’s see the Raiders beat a “name” tag team again soon. There are enough low-level teams that they can start running through them.
