RAW: 5 Reasons why The Street Profits challenged The Viking Raiders this week

#2 To keep The Viking Raiders rolling until they get into a rivalry

These big men can roll like dice!

The Viking Raiders have been on a roll since winning the RAW Tag Team Championships. Even though they have the titles around their waists, it’s a shame to watch them indulge in the same types of squash matches they were a part of when they debuted on RAW.

The Red brand needed to build the reputation of the duo and increase the value of the titles, and therefore they added The Street Profits into the mix. Even though Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins are playing babyface characters, it was good to see the two teams battle and then shake hands at the end of the bout.

While the match was good, it may just have been put in place to delay a possible rivalry for the Red brand's top team. The Viking Raiders have already had a rivalry with The O.C., and the next top team who can stand up to them may be the Authors of Pain. Since AOP already seem to be in a storyline with Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens, that rivalry will have to wait just a while longer.

The other option the brand can look at is the return of The Usos as heels. That would be a great way to add to the RAW Tag Team Division and the Championship storyline, as RAW is in dire need of a team that can keep The Viking Raiders engaged for some time.
