The War Raiders Comments on Winning WWE World Tag Titles on Monday’s WWE RAW Show

Monday’s WWE RAW show in Boston, Massachusetts also featured The War Raiders defeating Judgement Day to become the new WWE World Tag Team Champions.

Following the show, WWE held a digital exclusive backstage interview with the War Raiders’ Ivar & Erik discussing their thoughts about their WWE World Tag Team Championship victory.

Ivar – “It’s been a long, long, hard, vicious, brutal, trying road. Not only the last five years, but our whole careers. The setbacks and the heartaches and the disappointments and the failures and the surgeries, just everything that we’ve been through, and to be here tonight, we’re in my hometown, we’re in Boston, with 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.”

Erik – “There were points in the last five years, but also in the last ten years, where both of us were told more than once we’d never wrestle again. We might never walk again. I might not be able to hold my sons. Through all that, we’re still here. Through all that, we have these [titles]. I don’t think there’s anything that I could ever say to encapsulate what that means to us as performers, as professionals, or as people. Ezekiel, Cash boy, Papa did it.”

Ventura stated “Well, no, but you gotta remember, okay, the Hogan thing with me, I don’t hate him. I don’t hate anybody. But you gotta understand something, where I come from. During my most formative years, I was under an influence that created, for lack of better terms, in many ways, a monster, and that was when I was a Navy Seal. I never talked about it, I don’t talk about it. But we in that group, we live by a single premise, and this will answer your question, we don’t get mad. We get even. [Laughs] If you’re calling them in, your chances are, someone’s going to die. That’s just the way it is, and that’s the life I led for six years.” (Transcript h/t: Fightful.com)
