On the independent circuit, Hanson and Raymond Rowe performed as War Machine. When they joined NXT, they had their name changed to War Raiders. When called up to the main roster, the duo had their own names changed to Ivar and Erik, and were collectively known as The Viking Experience. The following week, they were referred to as The Viking Raiders.
Besides from being Vikings, it appears that the NXT Tag Team Champion’s new gimmick is to have a new name every week after the newly named Viking Raiders were dubbed the ‘The Viking Warriors’ in the latest WWE Fan Council survey, seen below.

Whilst this could just be a typo, stranger things have happened, and the duo could be about to have their fourth name in three weeks and be named The Viking Warriors next week on Raw.
