More on WWE dropping the War Raiders name

Apr 19, 2019 - by Steve Gerweck

Dave Meltzer on the War Raiders’ name change:

When asked if the change was made due to the marketability of the term “War” he replied: “There’s nothing to do with ‘war’, Vince just wanted to change the name, that’s all. He didn’t like ‘War Raiders’ and he wanted to change the name. That’s all there is to it. There’s no other reason. Vince just on the day of the show, on Monday, decided he didn’t like the name and told them to come up with a new one.“

Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp also brought up the the original name that was pitched before ultimately going with The Viking Experience was “The Berzerkers”
