5 talented WWE stars without creative direction

2. The Viking Raiders

The Viking Raiders have been reduced to a comedy act.

In The Viking Raiders (Erik and Ivar), WWE has an extremely talented duo that can engage with the audience. These two supreme athletes have given us some of the best tag team matches in recent memory, especially when considering their dominant run on NXT. Although they may not be booked as strongly, they are one of the best tandems of the modern era.

The former RAW Tag Team Champions were recently involved in a long, entertaining feud with the current Champions, The Street Profits. Aside from wrestling matches, they took part in other ludicrous and unique challenges, like bowling or playing golf, in a rivalry that WWE built around the concept of "anything you can do, I can do better." Their chemistry in the ring was unparalleled, but The Street Profits emerged victorious from the rivalry.

Upon their failed championship pursuit, they began a feud with the team of Andrade and Angel Garza, who targeted The Street Profits immediately after their match against The Viking Raiders. The feud with Andrade and Garza hasn't reaped many benefits in the WWE for either duo.

The Viking Raiders have been booked terribly on the main roster and the aura of mystique that once accompanied them is gone. They are a shadow of the monsters they were in NXT.
