• WWE’s Plan For The Viking Experience Revealed
NXT Tag Team Champions The War Raiders made their WWE main roster debut on last night’s RAW and they now have a new name – The Viking Experience (Ivar & Erik).
According to the Wrestling Observer, The Viking Experience is set to feud with Zack Ryder & Curt Hawkins for the RAW Tag Team Titles. As seen on last night’s RAW, The Vikings pinned RAW Tag Team Champion Zack Ryder to win their 8 man tag team match.
It’s quite possible that The Viking Experience captures the RAW Tag Team Championship pretty soon.
Fans expressed their displeasure regarding this new name for the team and you can check out what the Legends have to say regarding this:
Athletic, aggressive big men are often times “Money” in pro wrestling and have been for decades. #Raw
I’m a fan of #VikingExperience (maybe the name will grow on me) by any moniker. 🤠

Nope, just calling out the knee jerk reactions only Mick said it with some tact!

Only if you’ll admit that in 3 months, heck, 1 month, they’ll just be called, Viking Experience and more people will know that name than ever knew War Machine! I thought y’all were “woke” c’mon man

But that’s up to the team, the talent themselves, right? Do you have faith in these guys talent? I do! It doesn’t matter what their name is! Lol sorry
