"Viking Raiders" is an improvement.

Also, Andrade Almas, Zelina Vega, and Aleister Black are on SmackDown now. Apparently Fox requested Almas for their Fox Deportes simulcast.

And Cesaro is on Raw.

Viking Raiders, ha. I guess it's better than Viking Experience? Sarah Loghan mentioned that they suggested Valhalla as the team name but wasn't cleared.

I get it. Valhalla sounds cool, feels like butter when spoken, and refers to vikings without explicitly using the word. Of course they're going to go with The Vikings Raiders, a name that sounds and looks like two monikers sutured together as an unholy compromise.

At least they lost Experience though.

So Vince decided to start following Punk and AJ Lee on twitter a bit ago. He only follows 51 people, so take it as you like lol.

Surprised no discussion on The Shield's last match.

Sounds like "The Viking Experience" is now the name of their finisher, so we're not done with it yet. (Now *that* should be called "the Ride to Valhalla"...but it won't be.)

I had heard that Almas going to SDL was at the request of Fox as well. But it makes sense with the whole married/engaged bit because Charlotte is engaged to Andrade and Vega is married to Black. That's cool if that's one of the reasons.
Kobe Bryant was asked who he feels is the toughest opponent to guard in the NBA. Instead of picking OKC's Kevin Durant, Bryant went with Portland’s Brandon Roy.

Good grief, is Charlotte taking lessons from her dad, hasn't she been married like 2 or 3 times already?

I'd be cool with Andrade being the one to take the belt off of Kingston, he'd be a damn good heel champ that's for sure.

Yeah, that seems like it'd be a fun feud.

That cannot be good since she just signed. I'd honestly just release her at the next spring cleaning (which they need, badly).

Also, the card for MITB thus far is horrific outside AJ Styles vs Seth Rollins (that match will be a match of the highest quality IF they both give it their all, both men i think have suffered a bit recently in a slight dip with regards to in ring performances, if not it could be Nakamura vs AJ round II where both men perform well below expectations).

We have Becky and Charlotte again for the 5th time i want to say in the last year at a PPV

Lacey vs Becky (which is kind of a weak match in all honesty but its fine for a filler feud to build up Lacey as someone of a threat).

Owens vs Kingston should be fun though, at least if we have proper bastard Owens back (though if he channels a bit of Kevin Steen, that would be magnificent).
