WWE Tag Team Name Change Confirmed

A name change for a WWE tag team has been confirmed as both members made their returns from injury tonight.

A match taped for next week’s Raw saw the return of Erik and Ivar, the Viking Raiders.

Only they’re not the Viking Raiders anymore, but have actually gone back to the War Raiders name they used when they first joined NXT back in 2018.

When they were called up to the WWE main roster in 2019, Vince McMahon initially renamed them the Viking Experience, but that only lasted a week before it was changed to the Viking Raiders – now, they’re the War Raiders again.

Also to confirm, the duo have maintained the Ivar and Erik singular names they were given upon their main roster call-up, rather than going back to Hanson and Rowe which they used in NXT.

So, they’re now Ivar and Erik, the War Raiders. They also brought back their old ‘War’ entrance theme by CFO$.

I am looking forward to seeing this change and hearing their old theme I seen the vignettes recently on raw and wonder if it was going yo be for the return of both Erik and Ivar

We at Real Rasslin would like to hear your thoughts on this change and if you prefer The Viking Raiders or The War Raiders as their name
