The War Raiders Are Now The Viking Experience
Another name change in WWE.
Typically, WWE likes to cut off the first or last name of WWE Superstar for the sake of brevity. Hanson and Rowe, known together as the War Raiders, were already down to single names. So, WWE decided they needed a complete overhaul.
Welcome, Ivar and Erik, known as The Viking Experience, to the main roster. The NXT Tag Team Champions were called up as part of the WWE Superstar Shake-Up.
