The O.C. def. Raw Tag Team Champions The Viking Raiders

The Viking Raiders vs. Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson: Raw, Dec. 16, 2019

Raw Tag Team Champions The Viking Raiders are out to prove they are indeed the best pairing in WWE in a rematch with Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson, just 24 hours after the two imposing tandems brawled to a double count-out.

The O.C. have had two main talking points when it comes to their superiority as a tag team: That shiny Best Tag Team in the World trophy and the fact that they’re the only team to pin The Viking Raiders. And just one night after it was starting to look like that win might have been a fluke, the good brothers did it again.

Erik & Ivar now have two losses since coming to Raw, both of which have come at the hands of the official, the original and the only club that matters. And this one was even more demoralizing, as it didn’t come at the end of a Tag Team Turmoil Match. Despite a furious comeback at the tail end of a long, brutal fight, Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson dispatched Erik from the apron, hoisted big man Ivar up for the Magic Killer and let ‘er rip, scoring the 1-2-3 with no chicanery and no tricks. The win left the Raiders furious and looking more than a little energized, though they would do well to add a little more strategy to the fight if these teams collide in the future. After all, they’ve suffered two losses, so it can no longer be considered an anomaly. If they want to stay champions, they’ll need to stop it from becoming a trend.
