Ranking Every Night Two WWE 2021 Draft Pick From Worst To Best

10. The Viking Raiders

Draft Position: #7 to SmackDown. #14 overall.

Brand Switch: Raw to SmackDown.

The Viking Raiders, meanwhile, are the walking and talking physical embodiment of "safe" in modern-day WWE. Erik and Ivar have been placed on SmackDown as face replacements for The Street Profits, and they'll sniff around the tag title scene pretty much permanently.

Matches with The Usos could be special.

Jimmy and Jey must be licking their lips at the thought of tangling with these two big rugged powerhouses. Perhaps this is the trade that'll recapture the old War Machine magic from NXT and those pre-WWE days in ROH and New Japan? Or is that just wishful thinking?
