I don't think Drew will move from RAW at this time, they did that thing again tonight were he was completely out of the shot when his partner took a fall. They are protecting him, probably lining up a Drew McIntyre vs. Seth Rollins feud over big red. There's your Summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say Roman because his Shield "brother" is the champion on RAW so they'll stick him over and be THE GUY for the Smackdown brand through the Summer. Braun Strowman would be a letdown with how he's cooled off. Reigns or Lesnar are my guesses. I want Brock gone. Only recent Lesnar matches I liked were versus Styles, Bryan and Balor.

It could be Brock but I think him and Ronda are going to be positioned in that "special attraction" category and usually that's reserved for RAW more often than not. I don't think they'll make a big deal out of a guy who might show up twice before SummerSlam. I'm going with Roman but I could see Roman moving back to RAW before WrestleMania season. It depends on how all this with FOX plays out. If Smackdown is moved to FS1 then they'll just completely gut it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince hasn't seen any of the Avengers movie's yet. i mean if he did, Lars Sullivan might start wearing torn up jorts and his mood lighting will be changed to green. This shakeup as usual was very underwhellming. On the plus side they didn't do something stupid like send Kofi to RAW. Just because he's now WWE champion doesn't mean they wouldn't do that. They have traded world champions on the shows before. But my God. The Viking Experience. I thought maybe it was just a tag line for the titan tron. Then they got announced as it and I spent the rest of the match trying to figure out if they renamed Hanson as IGAR or IBAR. Finally saw it was IVAR and I was like what the hell? I am willing to bet Vince joked about the Viking Experience thing and all his yes men in Monty Burns fashion laughed and said "great name Mr. McMahon".

LoneWolf&Subs Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 I didn’t watch Raw, but I did read the results. I actually don’t hate the idea of a name change for The War Raiders. But I’ve would’ve gone with “The Viking Express” even though we are 4 decades removed from when putting “Express” at the end of any tag team name was a thing. Or maybe something more flashy like the “Norse Warlords”, or “Son’s of Odin”. Also Ivar sounds like such a generic Viking name. Must have been a last minute ass pull.

tbarrie Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Not enough people are mentioning that "War Raiders" was already a pretty stupid name. I mean, yeah, "The Viking Experience" is worse, but they've overcome bad names before. I almost think "The Viking Experience" is the main roster showing they can compete with NXT when it comes to terrible team names. (But "The Undisputed Era" is still worse.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky Blue Sam Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 I started an EWR save at the weekend, and I couldn't be bothered to think of a team name for my midcard Angelico/Extreme Tiger tandem, so I just lazily called them the Lucha Boyz, so I can emphasize with Vince's "rename the War Raiders" problem. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted April 16, 2019 Author Share Posted April 16, 2019 (edited) Looking at page 2 when we were coming up with wrestlers never switched brands since it was reintroduced in 2016, we can remove AJ Styles, the Usos and Naomi.

MORELOCK Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 I was actually thinking about how stupid the name "War Raiders" is a few weeks ago. Are they raiding war? Are they the kind of raiders that only exist during a war? Anyway, I don't know shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyLaw Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 7 hours ago, Peck said: I can almost understand not wanting to call them Hanson and Rowe anymore. To pick two new individual names that you could at least trademark. I don't even really have an issue with them being ERIK and IVAR. But there was literally no logical need to change their Tag Name. It even had a decent chant-along hand gesture for the crowd to use. Just absolute silliness. Aren’t Hanson and Rowe their real names? If so, I’m not surprised they changed them and it’s really on HHH/NXT for not changing them sooner. I wouldn’t be surprised if they get additional names like Erik the Savage or Ivar the Mighty for trademark purposes though. Viking Experience is obviously horrible, but they’re still better off than Heavy Eugenery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
