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

#1 To give The Street Profits a televised loss

It was necessary to watch The Street Profits take a fall

One thing we should note is that The Street Profits hadn’t been pinned before last night’s RAW. The only time the team lost on television was when they teamed up with Humberto Carrillo to take on The O.C. In that bout, AJ Styles pinned Carrillo, but only after using the ropes to his advantage.

Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins did not feature in the Best in the World Tag Team Match at Crown Jewel, as the company probably tried to protect the duo from a loss.

While it’s always good to watch top Superstars go on an unbeaten spree, at times it becomes a headache for WWE Creative in the long run. Fans then have to sit through matches that lead to disqualification wins and count outs and those never really get over well.

This week, The Street Profits suffered their first televised loss after going through "The Viking Experience." It was a good decision by WWE Creative, as losing to the dominating RAW Tag Team Champions does not affect The Street Profits’ value. The handshake at the end confirmed that even Erik and Ivar believe that the duo gave them some tough competition.

Now that Ford and Dawkins have already experienced a loss on television, it will be easier for WWE Creative to handle them in the coming months.
