Original Name For War Raiders
We noted before how NXT’s War Raiders were renamed to ‘The Viking Experience’ for their Raw debut, a name which has attracted a lot of criticism in the last few days.
Though latest report reveals that this wasn’t the first choice for their name and according to Pwinsider, WWE was originally planning to name them ‘The Berzerkers’ for their move to the main roster.
No word yet on why the company decided to drop this name and went with the Viking Experience instead but it was noted that this call was made by Vince McMahon.
