The War Raiders are your new WWE World Tag Team Champions after defeating The Judgment Day’s Finn Balor and JD McDonagh on the December 16, 2024 edition of Monday Night RAW.
Erik and Ivar have been on a tear since their return in October, scoring wins over Alpha Academy, LWO, The New Day and The Judgment Day’s Carlito and Dominik Mysterio. They had had an opportunity for the tag titles on November 25th, but came up short, only due to some interference from the rest of The Judgment Day.
This time around, the numbers game was no longer in the favor of the champions, who were unable to combat the full viking experience of The War Raiders, particularly as Finn Balor was hoping to use a steel chair to their advantage, but was held back from doing so by Damian Priest.

This marks the second tag title reign for Erik and Ivar on the main roster, following their RAW Tag Team Championship reign from October 2019 and their NXT Tag Team Championship run where they vacated the titles after around 100 days as champions.
