WWE RAW: 3 reasons why The Street Profits vs The Viking Raiders is a good idea

Disclaimer: The views of the author do not necessarily reflect those of Sportskeeda.

A face versus face storyline is not a promising proposition in some ways, but there are times when an exceptional attempt has helped the characters and business.

The Viking Raiders and The Street Profits are on the same brand and have the same gimmick, but while The Street Profits have faced The O.C., Viking Raiders, on the other hand, have been involved in matches with enhancement or local talents.

The Street Profits defeated The O.C. last week on RAW, and so they automatically became the #1 contenders for the coveted tag team titles. Because no major title defense has taken place during The Raiders' reign as Champions, it would be a great idea to put these two teams against each other.

It would not only elevate the division but can also create moments or initiate storylines and character changes that we've never seen before.

The options could be many, but let's look at the fact that the company decided to go a different route at Survivor Series, and pitted Champions against Superstars from their respective brands, which was welcomed by the fans, and was a refreshing change.

Following this path, let's look at what can happen if these two face teams are put in a match against each other.

#3 Better competition for The Viking Raiders

Raid complete

After having been in a match with local talents, a match with a powerhouse team would be a great idea. Viking Raiders are a great team and were undefeated until The O.C. beat them during the final match in a tag team turmoil encounter for the WWE Tag Team World Cup at WWE Crown Jewel.

The Street Profits defeated The O.C. last week, and if The Viking Raiders and The Street Profits decide to perform between the ropes, it would be a great option for the current Champions who have been looking for some quality competition during their reign as the RAW Tag Team Champions.

#2 A push for a deserving team

They want the smoke

The Street Profits made a name for themselves on the Black & Gold brand and were successful NXT Tag Team Champions, as they entertained the fans and still do so with their gimmick backstage and their performance between the ropes.

They have had the WWE Universe's attention since showing up on the main roster on July 1, 2019, during a backstage segment, but they were officially drafted to RAW on October 11 during the WWE Draft.

They defeated The O.C. during their debut match on the October 21 episode of Monday Night RAW, and have risen to the opportunities put in front of them since their main roster debut.

It's time the company allows them to create something compelling by capturing the RAW Tag Team Titles, and in turn, help others develop their characters because this can help revive careers and characters on the RAW roster.

#1 A character change would help The Viking Raiders

The Viking Experience needs a revamp

Viking Raiders debuted on RAW as a heel team and allied with The Revival to defeat Aleister Black, Ricochet, Curt Hawkins, and Zack Ryder. The team turned face during the September 9 episode of RAW at Madison Square Garden, and have been fighting local talents despite being the RAW Tag Team Champions.

It would be a great idea if the title changes hands because not only will it provide The Street Profits a great run and the desired push, but if The Viking Raiders change persona, we would be able to see a new edge to their character which hasn't been seen for a long time, and we may see some of the most amazing storylines emerge with this change.

Also, there are few heel tag teams on Monday Night RAW, but if a talented team also joins the heel list then it would be helpful to The Street Profits, as well as The Viking Raiders who would have a lot of allies, and the tag team division may see a boost.
