Buddy Murphy & Seth Rollins are the new Raw Tag Team Champions after defeating The Viking Raiders on WWE Raw.
The Viking Raiders (Erik & Ivar) aligned themselves with Samoa Joe & Kevin Owens at the start of WWE Raw, evening the odds against Rollins, Burphy, and AOP. The alignment led to Rollins & Murphy issuing a challenge to the champions for later in the night. Viking Raiders accepted and the match was officially on. The back-and-forth bout began with AOP, Joe, and Owens brawling through the crowd, taking all four men away from ringside. In the end, Rollins & Murphy were victorious after a knee from Murphy and an apron stomp by Rollins.
