A WWE Raw star has reportedly been receiving praise from within the locker room for his recent work both inside and outside the ring.
Following Erik of the Viking Raiders’ ongoing absence from TV due to needing to undergo surgery, WWE have been pushing his tag team partner Ivar as an unlikely singles star.
Having impressed in defeats to The New Day in singles competition, the 39-year-old recently picked up a big win in a Viking Rules match against Kofi Kingston on the October 9 WWE Raw.
Ivar’s impressive performances on WWE TV lately have reportedly not gone unnoticed from his peers, with Fightful Select noting that they had been contacted by numerous talents regarding the multi-time former tag champion.
According to the report not only is Ivar’s in-ring work being praised but also his “demeanour” outside of it, especially given The Viking Raiders history with receiving “less than stellar booking.”
Following his win over Kingston, Ivar received a a vignette on this week’s Raw (October 23) with WWE seemingly planning to make the most of Erik’s unfortunate injury layoff.
WrestleTalk continues to wish Erik all the best in his ongoing recovery.
