Alliance with former champions, The Wyatt Sicks' next victims? - 4 directions for The Viking Raiders following potential WWE return teaser on RAW
WWE RAW last night was a fantastic show. It featured a great main event with a massive title change, a very good tag team match with The New Day and The Creed Brothers, plus an excellent match between Sami Zayn and Ludwig Kaiser.
Perhaps the most interesting part of the night was a short vignette that many fans may have missed. A brief voiceover mentions "fate is woven," followed by the letters "P", "F", and "R" being shown in fire.
The vignette was certainly mysterious, but given the presentation, many believe that it was a teaser for the return of The Viking Raiders. Both Erik and Ivar have been out of action due to injury, but there is a chance both men have recovered and are due back at any moment.
If they are on their way back, it should be interesting to see what the two do. This article will take a look at their potential return and the direction that their careers could take if they do have a big comeback shortly.
Below are four directions for The Viking Raiders following a potential WWE return teaser on RAW.
#4. They could feud with The Wyatt Sicks
The Wyatt Sicks is a popular stable currently on WWE RAW. The group debuted earlier this year after quite a lot of teasing both on-screen and on social media. They have since made quite an impact.
The faction is comprised of Dexter Lumis, Nikki Cross, Joe Gacy, Erick Rowan, and Uncle Howdy. Their first proper feud on WWE television was with Chad Gable and American Made and the spooky faction stood tall in the end. Now, it isn't quite clear what their next direction could be.
Erik and Ivar could potentially be their next foes. While a two-on-five situation isn't ideal, the powerful Viking Raiders are more likely to be able to stand tall against the odds than almost anyone else. Plus, Valhalla could potentially fight off Nikki Cross whenever she is medically able to do so.
#3. The Viking Raiders could challenge The Judgment Day for the World Tag Team Titles
The Judgment Day are attempting to rule WWE Monday Night RAW. It is easier said than done, but a five-person group has a good shot at it. The stable consists of Finn Balor, Liv Morgan, Dominik Mysterio, Carlito, and JD McDonagh.
Three of the five members of The Judgment Day are champions in WWE. Liv Morgan has the prized Women's World Championship, which she won from Becky Lynch. Meanwhile, Finn Balor and JD McDonagh are the World Tag Team Champions.
The Viking Raiders likely have their eyes set on tag team gold. Given that they're seemingly returning to RAW, Erik, and Ivar could try to dethrone The Prince and The Irish Ace, thus making themselves enemies of The Judgment Day in the process. Could they align themselves with Damian Priest, Rhea Ripley, and Jey Uso to even the odds?
#2. They could align with The Unholy Union on WWE RAW
The Unholy Union is a duo comprised of Isla Dawn and Alba Fyre. Alba and Isla are both Scottish and broke out on the European and United Kingdom indie scenes before joining NXT UK. They then united on NXT where they held tag team gold together before moving up to WWE's main roster.
Isla Dawn and Alba Fyre were recently the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions, but they lost the gold to Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill. Now, The Unholy Union needs something new, especially since their alliance with SmackDown's Blair Davenport is seemingly over.
In what could be an interesting combination, The Unholy Union could unite with The Viking Raiders on Monday Night RAW. It is rare to see a men's team and a women's team form a stable together, but they could end up being mutually beneficial to the other in the long run. Plus, they are both a little out there and odd, which makes for a unique presentation.
#1. The Viking Raiders could fight American Made
Most expect Erik and Ivar to return to television as heels, but that doesn't necessarily have to be the case. Instead, The Viking Raiders could return to WWE Monday Night RAW as babyfaces instead.
If they do return as good guys, a perfect feud for them could be with American Made, and more specifically, The Creed Brothers. Julius Creed and Brutus Creed are one of the most hated tag teams in WWE, so it'd be a natural fit.
Of course, American Made also has Ivy Nile and Chad Gable, but that may be more reason to book the rivalry. Gable and The Viking Raiders have a lot of history, so it makes sense for them to feud again, but this time with The Creed Brothers representing Master Gable.
