The Viking Raiders vs. The Street Profits (c) – Raw Tag Team Championship Match

Result: The Viking Profits were formed

Rating: N/A

Grade: E- (for Effort?)

This is indeed World Wrestling Entertainment, but some days I simply prefer the wrestling part. This late addition to the card turned out to be another cinematic experience in which The Viking Raiders and The Street Profits continued their “anything you can do, we can do better” schtick with a battle against ninjas on motorcycles… led by Akira Tozawa. (Yes, WWE is still racist in 2020. What’s new?)

I know these segments have gone over really well for some, but I fall in the category of not really caring. I’m probably not the target audience, so it is what it is. But I’m ready to move on. Put these two gifted teams in the ring and let them wrestle. Let’s bring back real tag team wrestling, yes?
