Whether you liked this or not, WWE does know how to grab a viewer's attention by silly premises like this one.

I wasn't aware of this until today, but axe-throwing is an actual sport. The Viking Raiders took it one step further by introducing a Viking themed set for this competition. But the whole thing got obnoxious to a point where you knew this segment was supposed to elicit any sort of response from WWE fans.

They kept cutting to some random person on a horse for no reason at all, and I would be lying if I said the segment didn't earn a few unintentional laughs from my end too.

Apparently, the police broke up this affair right away, even though axe-throwing is an actual sport, it doesn't look like you can just practice it on a lawn with a bunch of Vikings camping nearby.

But the police offer found Ivar to be a "cute" individual, and let them get away with it. The whole premise may have been terrible for many WWE fans, but it certainly succeeded in grabbing one's attention.

Who's the cuter Viking Raider really though? ⬇️⬇️⬇️#WWERaw @Erik_WWE @Ivar_WWE pic.twitter.com/OdHqbKKHv0
