New World Tag Team champions
The duo overcame Finn Balor and JD McDonagh of The Judgment Day to lay their hands on the belts for the first time in over five years. The War Raiders took out Balor with The War Machine to pick up the victory, which also had some assistance from Damian Priest, who prevented Balor from grabbing a chair.
Damian Priest gets his revenge
Erik and Ivar broke down into an emotional celebration as they were crowned the new WWE World Tag Team champions. Among those cheering for the new Tag Team champions were the WWE Universe and Priest, who was at ringside.
Priest, who was one of the founding members of The Judgment Day, was removed from the group and replaced with Carlito in August this year.
Now, thanks to his interference, The Judgment Day's 175-day regime as the World Tag Team champions has come to an end.

The Tag Team championship victory also revives the fortunes of the War Raiders, who had been struggling with injuries last year.

Return of The War Raiders
The War Raiders, who returned to RAW in October this year by defeating Alpha Academy, had their first shot at the tag team belts in November. However, they failed in their mission on the 25 November episode of Raw thanks to the interference by Dominik Mysterio and Carlito on behalf of The Judgment Day.
