Ivar says over the last few weeks, they have raided Raw and they have brutalized the tag team division. Erik says they are far from done raiding Raw. But, since they still have these, Mr. Regal, they ask that he join them in the ring.
William Regal makes his way to the ring.
Erik says since they know there is no one who can take these titles from them, they are out here to relinquish them. Erik and Ivar hand Regal the title belts.
Regal says this is a surprise…
The Street Profits make their way to the ring. Montez says he thought he had some trouble hearing. Did they say no one? Angelo confirms what Montez thought he heard. Montez says they are not no ones. Since you left NXT, it seems like everyone is afraid of the Viking Raiders. Montez says they brought the fight to you a few weeks ago. Even though they didn’t win the match, the NXT Universe realized something. You guys realized something. Angelo asks what did they realize. They realized that the Street Profits can beat the Viking Raiders. Montez says it makes sense. You are relinquishing the belts. You are on Raw. You know what they know. The Street Profits can beat the Viking Raiders. Angelo says if that is your real name.
Ivar and Erik drop the mics and they tell Regal to make the match. They take the belts back.
Regal announces that the Viking Raiders will defend the tag titles against the Street Profits.
