Who Are You Again? Three Name Changes Announced On Monday Night Raw.

Can we get some name tags? Last week on Monday Night Raw, the NXT Tag Team Champions the War Raiders made their main roster debut, but things had changed a bit. They were now called the Viking Experience and were individually known as Erik and Ivar. To say the names weren’t well received would be an understatement, but this time WWE has changed things up a bit.

A week after debuting as the Viking Experience, the team has now been renamed the Viking Raiders, with the individual names remaining. During their attack on the Lucha House Party, the team’s pop up powerbomb was called the Viking Experience. That wasn’t the only name change on the show though, as Bobby Roode is now known as Robert Roode, which he wrestled under in Impact Wrestling.

Meet the mustache. Check out Roode’s new image:

Opinion: You know it says a lot when WWE admits that one of their ideas didn’t work. That’s the case with the Raiders, whose new name was such a disaster that they didn’t have a choice but to switch it up. The Viking Raiders isn’t much better, but it doesn’t sound like a Medieval Times spinoff. As for Roode….well the new name has worked for him before so maybe it’s worth a shot.

Which name helps more? What would you have made their names? Let us know in the comments below.
