The Viking Raiders are getting a well-timed push

Are The Viking Raiders serving as a feud to swerve the fans?

The Viking Raiders are back on WWE TV after a seven-month absence, and within two months of showing up, they are now the number one contender for the WWE Raw Tag Team Championship. They have a demeanor of working between the ropes and are usually winners of their respective matches.

This week on Monday Night Raw, they fought against Lince Dorado, RK-Bro, Mace and T-Bar, New Day, John Morrison for the Miz-Morrison and emerged victoriously. The team did require a push but is this a subtle push with the implications of another loss? This question arises as the WWE knows that AJ Styles and Omos have only fought two matches over the last two months where they had to defend their tag team titles.

It is a no-brainer that Styles and Omos will retain against the number one contenders, and the big question is that when WWE knows about it, why did they put Viking Raiders against a tag team that will win. Is this a subtle way of telling people that we pushed superstars, but they didn’t perform to the caliber, so they have been relegated? The Viking Raiders came from NXT, where they were a dominant force. The main roster allowed them to work with enhancement talent and be ok with those wins.

We saw that treatment day in and out until Ivar injured himself, and the team has been out since. A return and this number one contender opportunity put The Viking Raiders in poor light to receive criticism. If the two perform according to their levels, it could serve as the pedestal for an enriching feud between them. The Viking Raiders deserve a push, and with The Phenomenal One in the driving seat, anything extraordinary is possible.

AJ Styles is a wrestling genius, and if he decides to pick up The Viking Raiders and help them reach their true potential, we can expect a match that will keep the fans glued to the TV with excitement, amazement, and awe. The other teams in this Tag Team Championship Battle Royal on Monday Nights have a fair chance at a different time. Team RK-Bro is worthy of a grandeur event, while New Day won the tag team titles on numerous occasions.
