#3 Crowned new RAW Tag Team Champions
The Viking Raiders have been extremely dominant since moving to the main roster and replicating their success from NXT very well on RAW. The company had been keeping them away from the RAW Tag Team Titles by giving them squash matches against local competitors, but it didn’t take them long to rise up the ranks and challenge for the Tag Team Championships.
The duo defeated Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler last week in a non-title match and earned their first main roster title shot which they grasped with both hands.
They came out dominant and almost put away Roode and Ziggler in the opening minute of the match. After some great offense from Roode and Ziggler, the champions managed to slow down The Viking Raiders, but they couldn’t stop them from winning the match.
Erik & Ivar sent Ziggler for The Viking Experience and won their first main roster Championship in the process.
This was the right thing to do at a time when many good teams have been drafted to RAW and can give the dominant duo some great title defenses.
With Dolph Ziggler & Robert Roode moving to SmackDown later in the night, we could see some good new competition for The Viking Raiders emerge in the coming weeks.
