Former WWE manager Dutch Mantell recently spoke about Sheamus and Drew McIntyre facing the Viking Raiders this week on SmackDown.
The Viking Raiders were out to upstage the Banger Bros. this week. However, just as they were getting ready to hit Ragnarok on Drew, Shemus foiled their plans with a Brogue Kick on Ivar. The Scottish Warrior used this opportunity to plant Erik with a Claymore to seal the victory for his team.
On the latest episode of SmackTalk, Mantell mentioned that he liked the presentation of the Viking Raiders this week. He detailed that both teams had credible, hard-hitting competitors, and it was difficult to predict the eventual winner.
"I do like those guys. They're believable, they're big. For guys that size, they move extremely well. I think the presentation is too jazzed up for them. I mean, you can cut that down and get the same result. It doesn't detract anything, in my book, from them. The match was good. What made it good was when they went into the ring, you didn't know who was gonna win. And this is really a toss-up." [From 33:07 - 33:47]
