The Viking Raiders have returned to NXT.
On the April 26 episode of WWE NXT 2.0, a concerned Roderick Strong had a motivational meeting with Diamond Mine; he stated that there should be no excuses in losing for a faction that should be top-notch. Therefore, Strong prepared a challenge for Julius and Brutus Creed next week. When the brothers asked who they’re facing, Strong stated that they were in the Capitol Wrestling Center tonight for a bout. The Viking Raiders (Erik and Ivar) entered, so it’s clear that the SmackDown stars will face the Creeds at NXT Spring Breakin’.
The Viking Raiders previously enjoyed a successful run in NXT from 2018-2019; they held the NXT Tag Team Championship once. They have also held the tag titles on WWE RAW.
