This electrifying showdown had its roots in the previous week when The New Day locked horns with The Viking Raiders, with McIntyre and Riddle observing the contest from ringside.
The match took a chaotic turn in its closing moments when Ivar, one-half of The Viking Raiders, showcased his incredible strength by launching Kofi Kingston towards the duo known as the “Glasbros.” In a surprising turn of events, Ivar and Erik managed to secure the victory, leaving Drew McIntyre visibly displeased with the outcome. The Scottish Psychopath wasted no time in venting his frustration, demanding a match against The Viking Raiders, a challenge that WWE promptly made official for the following week.

From the outset, the Glasbros displayed their dominance, unleashing a barrage of hard-hitting maneuvers that left the WWE Universe in awe. Adding to the intensity of the bout, Matt Riddle introduced a table into the fray, raising the stakes even higher.
As the match reached its climax, Ivar of The Viking Raiders executed a gravity-defying splash from the announce table onto the unsuspecting Scottish Psychopath, Drew McIntyre. This jaw-dropping maneuver shifted the momentum in favor of the Viking warriors, leaving the crowd in awe of their incredible athleticism.
