WWE TLC 2019: 3 tag teams who could answer Viking Raiders’ open challenge
Heavy Machinery
The Viking Raiders have shown an ability to excel when working with smaller talent. With them being physically imposing men, sometimes you need an old fashion hoss fight. That is what fans would get in a contest between Heavy Machinery vs. The Viking Raiders. It won’t be a pretty match that provides fans with high flying moves, but that works in this match.
Since their debut on SmackDown, Heavy Machinery is portrayed as a fun, but not credible tag team. That isn’t to say that they can’t be taken seriously, but sometimes fans need comic relief in the middle of a card.
A match with Erik and Ivar would be a proving ground for Tucker and Otis. It would show fans that not only can they entertain with their charisma, but they can put on a great tag team wrestling match. This is a big moment for The Viking Experience to show to fans they are a dominant tag team by defeating Heavy Machinery in a close match.
The old cliché is that it is the champion’s responsibility to make the younger talent look great. The Viking Raiders have been professional wrestlers for longer than Heavy Machinery. It is their responsibility, as champion, to make Otis and Tucker look like a million bucks to the paying customers.
