Former WWE writer shares honest opinion on The War Raiders' recent defeat

The War Raiders returned to the wrestling promotion after injury layoffs on the October 7 edition of Monday Night RAW. Erik and Ivar defeated the Alpha Academy in the first round of the number-one contender's tournament for the World Tag Team Championship. In the next round, the duo overcame the challenge presented by The New Day and LWO's Dragon Lee & Rey Mysterio in a Triple-Threat Tag Team Match to earn a shot at the title.

Erik and Ivar continued on their winning ways in the following two weeks. However, The War Raiders suffered their first loss since returning from injury at the hands of Finn Balor and JD McDonagh in the title match on the October 25 edition of Monday Night RAW. On the latest edition of Sportskeeda's Legion of RAW, former WWE head writer Vince Russo questioned The War Raider's loss. The 63-year-old did not seem impressed with The Judgment Day members' reign as the World Tag Team Champions.

"I don't know why they're keeping the belts on Finn Balor and JD McDonagh. I have no idea why they're keeping the belts on those guys. Those two guys mean absolutely nothing. So, you just beat another tag team in the Vikings," he said.[From 10:52 onwards]

With Erik and Ivar losing the championship bout, it will be interesting to see which team will challenge Balor and McDonagh for the title next.
