War Raiders win World Tag Team titles on WWE Raw
War Raiders have won the gold.
Ivar & Erik defeated Finn Balor and JD McDonagh in the main event of Raw on Monday to win the titles for a second time. The finish had Balor looking to use a steel chair, attempting to grab one on the outside. However, Damian Priest grabbed the chair from ringside, causing a distraction as Balor went back to the ring. That allowed the War Raiders to hit the War Machine on Balor for the win. The duo celebrated with a big pyro celebration to close out the show.
The War Raiders previously earned a World Tag Team title match on the November 25 edition of Raw thanks to interference by Judgment Day. On last week’s episode, Adam Pearce told Balor & McDonagh that the War Raiders would get another shot at the titles, but this time their fellow teammates would be barred from ringside.
After Balor interfered in his World Heavyweight title match at Survivor Series, Gunther challenged Balor to a match at Saturday Night’s Main Event, putting the title on the line. After Balor laid out both Priest and Gunther, Priest was added to the title match that saw Gunther retain after pinning Balor with a powerbomb.
