#4. Hope isn't true: Former Champion fell sick in Saudi Arabia

Erik and Ivar

Saudi Arabia and WWE seem to have a lot of negative things attached. Aside from the controversy and criticism WWE usually faces about their relationship there, instances such as Superstars being stuck in an airplane and now a former champion falling sick seems to imply that something always goes wrong there

Per WON, (via Cagesideseats) Erik, one-half of the former RAW Tag Team Champions The Viking Raiders fell ill in Saudi Arabia, which caused him to miss a few shows:

Erik of The Viking Raiders came back from Saudi Arabia sick, and that’s why he missed weekend house shows, says the Observer.

We hope this isn't true but wouldn't be surprised if it is. The radical climate difference can play a role in making anyone fall ill and, unfortunately, Erik fell ill at the time. Hopefully, it's nothing too serious and the duo can get back in the mix right after Elimination Chamber 2020.

The road to WrestleMania is winding down in a month and we expect The Viking Raiders to be involved in the RAW Tag Team title picture in some capacity.
