WWE CAREER CHRONICLE The modern-day Viking marauder returns to the Raid.
Entering 2026, **Erik** remains a cornerstone of the WWE RAW tag team division as one-half of the legendary **War Raiders** (formerly The Viking Raiders). After making a thunderous return from a significant neck injury in late 2024, Erik has reunited with his longtime partner Ivar to reclaim their status as the most physically dominant tandem in sports entertainment. Check his official position on our WWE Roster page.
Erik’s career is defined by historic tag team gold across the globe, including being part of the first team to hold championships in ROH, New Japan, and WWE. His 2024 season was marked by a triumphant victory in the World Tag Team Championship #1 Contender Tournament, signaling a return to championship contention.

RING PSYCHOLOGY & STYLE Breaking down the ‘Death Row’ specialist.
Billed at 6’1″ and 247 pounds, Erik utilizes a “Powerhouse Striker” ring psychology. His style is built around the **Death Row** and a series of explosive knee strikes that emphasize his background in varied combat disciplines. In 2026, his approach focuses on surgical striking and veteran teamwork, often acting as the tactical anchor for the War Raiders’ offensive blitzes.
