WWE Mid-Year Awards for 2019 

Biggest Surprise - The Viking Experience and Mr. Beast in the Bank (TIe)

The former War Raiders had three different team names in the span of a week.

When the Superstar Shake-Up went down, one of the many shocks was that not only did the current NXT Tag Team Champs join the main roster, but they had their name changed. It made their debut memorable, albeit for the wrong reasons.

Previously known on the independent scene as War Machine, their name was changed to War Raiders once they joined NXT. When the decision was made to have them debut on RAW, they did so as 'the Viking Experience'. Twitter and other social media lost their minds and fans were left with their jaws on the floor.

It was so bad that WWE changed their name again for the following week, pushing the current NXT Champs as the Viking Raiders. While that name is exponentially better, it was such a strange time period due to the terrible original name given to the former Hanson and Rowe.

The other huge surprise, also not for a good reason, was Brock Lesnar's return to WWE at Money in the Bank and winning the briefcase. He didn't participate in the match but simply showed up at the end and pulled down the briefcase.

It underscored all the hard work done by the other seven men in the match. It also meant that we were a cash in away from another Lesnar title reign. If you though we were finally done with a part-timer holding a major title hostage, think again.
