Someone must’ve read this column last week.

After beating up jobbers in recent weeks, the Viking Raiders took on former Raw Tag Team Champions Zack Ryder & Curt Hawkins, a team they actually defeated a couple months ago. The match was much more competitive than the Raiders’ previous matches, but the result was never in doubt, as Ryder & Hawkins had no chance.

Ivar got to show off a little more of his agility, hitting a suicide dive on both men before the Raiders finished Hawkins off with a Viking Experience.

If there’s justice, we’ll see the Wild Card Rule (does that still exist, or do superstars just mosey from show to show?) bring the B-Team over next week for another “name” team to feed to the hulking duo.
