WWE Star Discusses Potential Tag-Team Split For Singles Run

WWE

Since returning in October 2024, War Raiders have gone on to be WWE World Tag Team Champions despite the health challenges they have faced.

Their victory over Judgment Day (Finn Balor & JD McDonagh) happened on the December 16 episode of WWE Raw with the match below this news story.

In a recent appearance on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Ivar revealed how close he came to having to give up his wrestling career.

With Ivar having experienced a singles run due to Erik’s recovery from surgery in 2023, the topic of a possible split for War Raiders was also discussed.

Ivar would consider the possibility of the pair going on their separate journeys in WWE, saying:

“So, no. I’ve answered this a few times before. I mean, New Day’s having their turmoil now, but for a decade on WWE television New Day’s been together, and it’s never happened, yet.

“So I feel like we’re in the same boat, maybe we can do singles things on the side. Maybe we don’t have a story in the tag division and something opens up for you know me for the Intercontinental title, or maybe something opens up for Erik for the Speed Championship, just one below whatever I’m doing (laughs). But I think we can do things.

“We’re both great singles wrestlers. I don’t think anyone realized that until I had this recent singles run, and he’s just as good.

“If just the opportunity is there it’s great, but I don’t see us breaking up. I don’t see us splitting up. I think we’re always gonna be there to support each other.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Ivar discussed the possibility of bringing back the Rowe and Hanson names that they brought into WWE NXT.
