WWE has changed The Viking Experience’s name to “The Viking Raiders.” That’s what they’re now being called on WWE.com.
As mentioned last week, the decision to change the former War Raiders’ team name was made by Vince McMahon on the day of their debut on Raw, reportedly simply because Vince just didn’t like the name “War Raiders.”
They were originally going to change it to The Berzerkers, but Vince didn’t like that either, so they ended up going with the almost universally hated “The Viking Experience.”
