Erik gives update on Valhalla’s WWE TV return

It shouldn’t be long until Valhalla is back on WWE programming.

On Thanksgiving Day last November, Valhalla (Sarah Rowe) and her husband Erik (Ray Rowe) welcomed their second child into the world. The couple now has two boys with Ezekiel Joseph Rowe joining their son Raymond Cash who was born in 2021.

Valhalla has been away from WWE TV since announcing her pregnancy last year, but Erik told Chris Van Vliet on a new episode of Insight that he thinks she’ll be back soon.

“Absolutely,” Erik responded when asked if Valhalla is thinking about when she wants to come back. “Yeah, she is — she is a constant inspiration for me. She works so hard. She is so dedicated and disciplined. She keeps me on my diet so much better because she’s so disciplined with hers. And she’s already like running, jumping, throwing things, getting back into like battle shape and getting ready. So, yeah, I don’t know when this is going to air, but I’m sure it won’t be too long in the future before you start seeing her again.”

Valhalla, a former Riott Squad member, was released by WWE in 2020 but made her return to the company in 2022. She manages The War Raiders along with competing in the ring.

Erik & Ivar became The War Raiders again last October after previously being known as The Viking Raiders. They had a four-month reign as World Tag Team Champions before dropping the titles to New Day at WrestleMania 41.

During his appearance on Insight, Erik said getting the War Raiders name back is awesome because he and Ivar now get to play a version of their real selves on TV. It’s the closest they’ve ever been to their presentation when they were War Machine in ROH and NJPW.

“As War Raiders, we are the closest thing to War Machine that we’ve ever been. No face paint, we’re not even wearing like horns and helmets and armor,” Erik said. “We’re coming out in essentially biker vests, leather vests. This is what I wear to TV. I just put a vest on, and I cut promos like this on WWE TV. I wear a black T-shirt and jeans, which is what I wear every day of my life. If I’m not in gym clothes, this is what I’m wearing. This is who I am.”
