WWE Creative Pitched For Ivar To Run A Vikings Dating Site

Are you a Viking and looking for a significant other to go raiding with? Unfortunately, you can't rely on WWE for any help with that. 

WWE already has two Vikings under contract in Ivar and Erik of The Viking Raiders and the tag team were locked in a feud with The Street Profits over the Raw Tag Team Championships in 2020. The two teams faced off in sporting competitions throughout their feud before a backstage brawl at the Backlash pay-per-view that featured bowling balls, Braun Strowman's car, and a fight with ninjas, with the fight between the two teams only coming to an end after they were spooked by a tentacle creature.

A running gag throughout the feud was that women found Ivar attractive and a pitch that never made it to TV would have seen Ivar set up his own Vikings dating website, former WWE writer Chris Dunn revealed. 

"One thing that got cut every single week was, I was doing all the off-sites with the Profits and the Viking Raiders. I became really close with those guys, all four of them. We - that's also too, [we were] trying to take an idea that's not great and turn it into something. Because the original concepts for that, not great, but it worked out really well," Dunn said on the Public Enemies Podcast.

"When we kind of accidentally made Ivar a ladies man character, we wanted to have him talk and eventually open a website that would be 'Vikings Only,' like Farmers Only [laughs]. I think we changed it because of OnlyFans, to keep people [from] getting confused, to Vikings Mingle. We literally had it in the script for seven to eight weeks, and because of how crazy the pandemic stuff was, things kept on changing on the fly all the time."

After the backstage fight and sports competitions, The Street Profits would defeat The Viking Raiders to retain the Raw Tag Team Titles on the June 22, 2020, episode of Monday Night Raw.
