War Raiders Win Return Match on WWE Raw

The War Raiders, formerly known as The Viking Raiders, made a triumphant return to WWE during the October 14 episode of Monday Night Raw after a year-long absence. Erik and Ivar defeated Alpha Academy's Akira Tozawa and Otis in their first match together since September 2023, advancing in the newly announced WWE World Tag Team Championship tournament. This was particularly significant for Ivar, who hadn’t competed since April 2024 due to injury. The War Raiders, former NXT and Raw Tag Team Champions, are now in contention for the tag team gold, although no details about the tournament's other competitors have been disclosed. Their return was anticipated following vignettes that aired on Raw earlier this month, highlighting their comeback. Fans are left speculating on the duo’s potential path to reclaiming championship status in WWE.
