Buddy Murphy is having a pretty good week.
It was just seven days ago, when Murphy was down on his luck and was given a lifeline by The Monday Night Messiah Seth Rollins. Now, not only is Murphy blessed, but he also has his hands on WWE gold.
Tonight (Jan. 20) Rollins and Murphy defeated The Viking Raiders for the Raw tag team titles.

Th Viking Raiders first mistake was aligning themselves with Kevin Owens and Samoa Joe earlier in the night. Doubling down on their own foolishness, the Viking Raiders would agree to defend their Raw tag team titles versus the team of Rollins and Murphy.
After the AOP, Owens, and Joe were booted from ringside, a pretty good tag team match ensued. The Viking Raiders came into the match looking unstoppable, but the Rollins-Murphy duo simply outsmarted them.

Following Ivar being pushed off the top rope onto the outside, Erik ate a Curb Stomp and that was all she wrote.
Seth Rollins has gold. Buddy Murphy has gold. How long will Rollins and Murphy hang onto the Raw tag team titles?
