War Raiders Win World Tag Team Titles On WWE Raw
New World Tag Team Champions crowned on WWE Raw
Dec 17, 2024
New tag team champions were crowned in the main event of WWE Monday Night Raw.
The final match on Raw saw Ivar and Erik of the War Raiders defeat Judgment Day's Finn Balor and JD McDonagh to capture the World Tag Team Titles. The finish saw Finn Balor try to grab a steel chair on the outside, only to be stopped by Damian Priest.
The distraction allowed War Raiders to hit War Machine on Balor for the pinfall win. Raw then went off the air with a big celebration for Ivar and Erik.
The win made the War Raiders two-time tag team champions on the main roster, having previously held the Raw Tag Team Titles in late 2019 and 2020. They are also former NXT Tag Team Champions.
Finn Balor and JD McDonagh's reign ended after 175 days. Despite the length of their reign, Monday's match was only their third defence.
Ivar and Erik made their returns in October. Erik had been on the shelf for close to a year following neck fusion surgery, while Ivar had been out of action since May due to a spinal injury.
