Absent WWE star reacts to DIY's message ahead of major title match

DIY sent an emotional message ahead of a major title match on SmackDown. An absent WWE star has since reacted to their message.

Ivar has been one of the most vicious men in the WWE. He and Erik have been a dominant tag team. However, the latter's injury affected the Viking Raiders. While WWE tried to push Ivar as a singles competitor, he hasn't been able to get over without his tag team partner. Ivar even made a couple of appearances on NXT in recent weeks. His last match was on the April 30 edition of NXT, where he lost to Oba Femi.

While Ivar has been absent from the ring, he has made his presence known on social media and has made it clear that he is keeping his finger on the pulse. Tonight on SmackDown, DIY was set to face A-Town Down Under for the WWE Tag Team Championship. Ahead of the match, DIY cut an emotional promo by saying they would win the tag titles.

It didn't take long for Ivar to take to social media and react to Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa with the eyes wide open emoji.

It will be interesting to see whether Gargano and Ciampa can win the tag team titles after months of pursuing them.

According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
