The main event of this past Monday’s post-WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event episode of RAW saw The War Raiders (Erik and Ivar) defeat The Judgment Day (Finn Bálor and JD McDonagh) to become the new World Tag Team Champions.
Erik and Ivar appeared in a digital exclusive shortly following RAW to talk about a number of topics, including their huge win.
Ivar said, “It’s been a long, long, hard, vicious, brutal, trying road. Not only the last five years, but our whole careers. The setbacks and the heartaches and the disappointments and the failures and the surgeries, just everything that we’ve been through, and to be here tonight, we’re in my hometown, we’re in Boston, with my family and my friends. To be here, it couldn’t be more emotional and just perfect for me, to know that the things that we did got us here today.”
Erik added:
“There were points in the last five years, but also in the last ten years, where both of us were told more than once we’d never wrestle again. We might never walk again. I might not be able to hold my sons. Through all that, we’re still here. Through all that, we have these [titles]. I don’t think there’s anything that I could ever say to encapsulate what that means to us as performers, as professionals, or as people. Ezekiel, Cash boy, Papa did it.”
