There’s nothing in the details. We are less than five days away from Tables, Ladders And Chairs and that means things are being put together in a hurry. Over half of the card has been thrown together in the last week but WWE isn’t done yet. Even after adding three matches on Monday alone, they had something else to get done on Tuesday, which is something they’ve already done recently.
During this week’s Monday Night Raw, the Viking Raiders issued an open challenge for a shot at their Raw Tag Team Titles to any team in the back. The Street Profits answered the challenge but were defeated in a short match, albeit after they got in quite a bit of offense on the champs. It was an exciting match and that is the kind of thing that WWE may want to achieve again.
As announced on this week’s WWE Backstage, the Viking Raiders have issued another open challenge for this Sunday’s Tables, Ladders And Chairs event for a Tag Team Title match. There is no word on who will be answering the challenge. The Viking Raiders have been the Raw Tag Team Champions since October 14. They only have one loss to date in their time in WWE, with the OC defeating them as part of a gauntlet match at October’s Crown Jewel.
I could go for this again. Check out the Viking Raiders vs. the Street Profits in this week’s open challenge:
Opinion: I’m not sure who to expect for the challenge on Sunday but the Street Profits themselves wouldn’t surprise me. They’ve gotten close to beating the Viking Raiders both in NXT and on Monday Night Raw so maybe they can do it on their next change. Then again, the OC would make sense as well, even if it might not be as exciting of a match. It’s not like the division has that much depth, so mixing it up could be a stretch.
Who do you think will answer the challenge? When will the Viking Raiders lose their titles? Let us know in the comments below.
