5.) Viking Raiders: Turn Heel

The Viking Raiders are currently in a Raw Tag Team Championship babyface-babyface feud with the Street Profits. It is quite rare for a babyface-babyface feud to take place on the main roster. With an infinitesimal Raw Tag Team Division and only two heel tag teams in that division, it would not be too surprising to see one of these teams turn heel.

Preferably, Viking Raiders should turn heel instead of doing carpool karaoke (which they can save for WWE’s ‘Ride Along’). Not only were they heel in NXT but their look and gimmick evokes decent heel work. Their potential to be interesting characters is minimized as babyfaces and they should turn heel after they lose their upcoming tag team championship match against The Street Profits.

The Viking Raiders deem themselves superior to the Street Profits in every sport, especially professional wrestling. This explains why Street Profits have never defeated the Viking Raiders in a tag team bout. Once Street Profits defeat them to retain the Raw Tag Team Championships, the Viking Raiders should not take that loss lightly since it would be their first loss to the Profits.

They need to snap, become ruthless, and stretch their feud with the Street Profits throughout the summer. Vikings love sea-faring wars and raids, so the Viking Raiders need to be heel to not only show their true colors but also fulfill their gimmick. Once they do that, maybe the WWE Universe will become more invested in them and becoming more knowledgable of their story in 2020.
