Two WWE RAW superstars have impressed WWE with their recent performances.
As of late, Ivar and Kofi Kingston have been battling quite often on WWE programming with the injury to Erik expected to last six months.
Fightful Select now reports that WWE have been impressed by performances by both men in recent weeks.
Fightful sources had indicated that both Kofi Kingston and Ivar had received high marks for their WWE Raw matches of late. Their first match came as a result of Erik being sidelined. Viking Raiders and New Day had been slated for a lot of time for their two out of three falls match. Instead of cutting it when Erik got injured, they just had Ivar and Kofi Kingston wrestle the duration of the scheduled time. The match got praise heaped on it. One producer noted that Ivar hadn’t had a singles match on WWE TV in nearly five years that went over ten minutes, and said that not only did he not miss a beat, he impressed many backstage. Follow up matches with Xavier Woods and Viking Rules matches with Kofi Kingston also gained praise, and caused WWE to remain open minded on using Ivar in a singles capacity.
