Ivar shares emotional message following title win on WWE RAW
WWE Superstar Ivar has shared an emotional message on social media following Monday Night RAW, which saw the 40-year-old team up with Erik to win the World Tag Team Championship. It marked the duo's second title win on the main roster.
On the December 16 edition of the red brand's show, The War Raiders dethroned The Judgment Day's Finn Balor and JD McDonagh to become the new champions. The former Viking Raiders returned to WWE television as a tag team after more than a year on October 14. While Erik was out of action since September 2023 due to a neck injury, his tag team partner started wrestling singles matches before getting injured earlier this year in April.
Earlier today, Ivar took to his Instagram account to share a heartfelt picture of The War Raiders after the championship win last night.
"We Did It," he wrote.

"It's been a long, long, hard, vicious, brutal, trying road. Not only the last five years but our whole careers. The setbacks, the heartaches, the disappointments, the failures, the surgeries, and just everything that we have been through, and to be here tonight. We're in my hometown in Boston. We're in front of all my family and my friends. To be here, it couldn't be more emotional and just perfect for me to know that the things that we did got us here today," he said.
