WATCH: WWE Team Returns On Monday Night Raw After Year Long Absence

By any name. There are all kinds of aspects that come together to make a wrestler a star but one of the most important is their ring name. A wrestler being called something that doesn’t make them seem intimidating, interesting, or anything positive can hold them back, which can be made even worse if something is changed. This week though, we saw a change for the better.

This week’s Monday Night Raw saw the return of the War Raiders, the team comprised of Erik and Ivar, who defeated the Alpha Academy in the first round of a #1 contenders tournament. The team, formerly known as the Viking Raiders, returned to their old name after a year plus absence. Erik had been out of action since last year while Ivar had been out of action since this April.

The team is back. Check out what they did in their return and before they were out of action:

Opinion: This is the right kind of move, as Viking Raiders was never a good name as it never made much sense. Let the team be something that suits them so much better and hopefully they can both stick around for a bit. There is always room for a power team like the Raiders and it is great to have them back after such a long absence due to those injuries.
