It seems that WWE may be changing the name of The NXT Tag Team Champions once again as The Viking Raiders were recently referred to as The Viking Warriors in the latest WWE Fan Council survey, as seen below.
There is no word yet on if this is just a typo or if WWE really has plans to change their name once again. Ivar & Erik won a Non-Title Match on last Wednesday night’s episode of NXT TV and were still being called The Viking Raiders.
As previously reported, The Viking Raiders were brought to RAW last week in The 2019 WWE Superstar Shakeup and given a new name – The Viking Experience. WWE quietly changed the name this week, likely due to the negative fan reaction to the original name change and they are now being called The Viking Raiders. Their tag team finishing move is now called The Viking Experience. It was previously reported that WWE Chairman & CEO Vince McMahon did not like The War Raiders name and wanted a new name. At one point, the team was scheduled to be called The Berzerkers.
It is possible that this is just a typo, but updates will be provided on any other potential name changes once it is made available.
