#2 Hit on WWE SmackDown: The Viking Raiders destroy Happy Corbin and Madcap Moss

The Viking Raiders made their first appearance on WWE SmackDown after being drafted to the Blue brand last month. They arrived on the show as guests on the Happy Corbin’s talk show – or at least that’s what their hosts thought. Erik and Ivar essentially said what everyone thinks of Corbin and Moss’ sense of humor before destroying their set.

Following that, all four superstars squared off in an impressive tag team match. The Viking Raiders looked far from rusty despite not being in action for a while. They were dominant as ever and surprised everyone with their agility. It was clear that they wanted to make a statement on WWE SmackDown, which they did after picking up their first win on the show.

Another big highlight from this match was Happy Corbin and Madcap Moss’ in-ring performances. Yes, their jokes are corny and almost make your ears bleed, but they have been impressive as a tag team.

They worked well together, and Corbin and Moss could become an effective tag team with the correct booking. They lost the match this week after retreating from the ring, which might make them look weak but instead, it helped make The Viking Raiders look much more robust than expected.

It will be interesting to see how both these teams are booked on WWE SmackDown in the coming months.
