Viking Raiders Defeat Hawkins and Ryder

Viking Raiders Defeat Hawkins and Ryder: Elimination Chamber March 8

Result: As a result of hitting the Viking Experience on Zack, the Viking Raiders defeat Hawkins and Ryder.

Match: Zack Ryder begins the match with Erik from the Viking Raiders. As a result of some intimidation from Erik, Ryder almost immediately tagged out. After a pair of shoulder tackles from Erik, Hawkins manage to hit a couple of strikes and a side suplex on Erik. The kickoff show went to a commercial as Hawkins worked over Erik on the outside.

As Ivar came into the ring, he slammed Ryder and hit a cross body. Ivar evaded a clothesline from Hawkins by using a cartwheel, and the Viking Raiders pinned Ryder after using the Viking Experience.
