WWE SmackDown Tag-Team Champions The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) are sitting at the top of tag-team division on SmackDown. They are performing brilliantly and by any means, they make sure to keep the titles around their waists. Viking Raiders (Erik and Ivar) have their sights set on the SmackDown Tag Team Champions as they issued a warning.
Viking Raiders issues challenge to The Usos
WWE correspondent Megan Morant caught up with Erik and Ivar on Talking Smack this week. They had some tough words for the current SmackDown tag champs.
Ivar mentioned that while Jimmy and Jey are busy protecting WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns, there’s no one watching their back:
“Tonight we plowed through three other teams. Now we’re next in line to be contenders for the SmackDown Tag Team Championships. The Usos, while you’re protecting your Tribal Chief, while you’re protecting The Head of the Table, who is protecting you?” asked Erik.
Erik further said nothing could save The Bloodline when the Raiders come for tag team gold:
Erik continued, “You’re right, boys. Historically, the Vikings never raided Samoa. But we just stepped up and we are at your shores. There’s nowhere left to run, there’s nowhere left to hide. There’s nothing you can do to stop us from becoming the next SmackDown Tag Team Champions.”
The fatal four-way match was contested on this week’s edition of SmackDown to decide the No.1 contenders. It was Viking Raiders who emerged victorious and secured their shot by defeating Los Lotharios, the impromptu team of Cesaro & Mansoor, and the team of Shanky & Jinder Mahal.
