I wrote an entire article on this, so I'll try and keep this short. But The Viking Experience is a really silly name if you compare it to War Raiders or indeed War Machine. The NXT Tag Team Champions did not even carry their Championships when they arrived on the main roster.
It was once said that a rose by another name is just as sweet. I would have to differ and say that The Viking Experience is one of the weakest names that WWE has thought of in the recent past, and should have stuck to what was working while in NXT. It's only one step up from the Authors of Pain, which was also a lackluster name.
Let's all just hope that despite the name, The Viking Experience becomes a dominant force in the main roster over time. I wonder how and when they will drop their NXT Championships now that they will be on the main roster.
