WWE’s Erik recalls career-threatening injury

One-half of the Viking Raiders, Erik, shared his story about overcoming a career-threatening injury.

Erik started his WWE career in NXT along with Ivar. Initially known as The War Raiders, the duo became the Viking Raiders as they ascended to the main roster. The two have won both the NXT and RAW tag team titles. The only singles title held by Sarah Logan's husband was the 24/7 Championship.

The former tag team champion recently shared a traumatic memory on Twitter. On August 12th 2014, Erik met with a motorcycle accident and doctors said he could not wrestle again. But he fought and clawed his way back to do what he loves. Eight years later, he is a happy family man and is in his prime when it comes to wrestling.

"8/12/2014 I should have died in a motorcycle wreck and doctors told me that I’d never wrestle again. 8/12/2022 I have a beautiful family and I’m a full time viking, in and outside of the ring," Erik tweeted.
