WWE has mercifully pulled the plug on one of the worst tag team names of the past several years.
NXT tag team champions The War Raiders were called up to the Raw roster last week as part of the Superstar Shakeup. For whatever reason, WWE decided the “War Raiders” team name did not work anymore. Instead, they were renamed the Viking Experience.
The Viking Experience name elicited mockery from WWE fans across the world. Fans on social media had a field day mocking the name. The backlash was so swift, so unanimous, that WWE caved and dropped the Viking Experience name entirely after just a week.
Erik and Ivar, formerly Rowe and Hanson, will now be known as the Viking Raiders. Their Superstar bios on the company website have been updated to reflect the change.
The name change came late Monday afternoon. Several WWE.com articles from last week now list them as the Viking Raider, although “Raw Preview” for tonight still lists them as the Viking Experience.
