In a recent interview with Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, Ivar, one half of the popular WWE tag team, The Viking Raiders, opened up about his current singles run in the company and the challenges that come with it. With his tag team partner, Erik, currently sidelined due to a neck injury and undergoing surgery, Ivar has taken the opportunity to reinvent himself as a singles competitor.
Ivar, who started his career as a singles wrestler, initially put his solo ambitions on hold when he joined forces with Erik to form The Viking Raiders. However, with Erik’s injury forcing him to take a break, Ivar has seized the opportunity to explore his singles career once again.
The WWE superstar expressed his excitement about the fan reaction to his singles performances, stating that he hopes to “turn some heads” in the ring. This newfound focus on his singles career has been met with enthusiasm from fans and wrestling personalities alike, including legendary wrestling journalist Bill Apter.
Apter, known for his expert analysis and opinions on the world of wrestling, praised Ivar’s work in the ring, particularly his rivalry with Bronson Reed last year. Speaking on The Wrestling Outlaws show last December, Apter expressed his desire to see the two superstars face off once again at WrestleMania XL.
Meanwhile, Bronson Reed, who was unhappy about being left off the WrestleMania card this year, recently battled for the Intercontinental Championship on WWE RAW. However, his match was marred by interference from Chad Gable, leaving Reed still seeking his opportunity to shine.
As Ivar continues to make waves in the WWE as a singles competitor, fans and insiders alike will be watching closely to see how far he can take his career. With his tag team partner, Erik, working on his recovery, Ivar’s singles run has added a new layer of excitement to the WWE terrain.
