Spoiler on Another WWE Return In the Works

[Dale]

Sarah Logan is returning to WWE soon.

Tonight’s SmackDown on FOX season premiere featured a dark pre-recorded promo from The Viking Raiders. While it was hard to make out who was there, The Viking Raiders said fools have confused their absence for weakness, but they have been watching, waiting and getting stronger. The promo continued with a woman’s voice saying when the Gods speak, they listen, and they obey. She then said “Valhalla awaits” to end the promo.

This led to speculation on Logan possibly being the woman in the vignette, and now Fightful Select reports that she is returning to the company.

The new “Valhalla Awaits” segments are designed to reintroduce Logan to the storylines after being gone for more than two years.

Erik and Ivar have been away from the storylines since defeating The New Day on the September 2 SmackDown, which was taped on August 26. Erik reportedly suffered a foot injury during that match, and it was later announced that he would be on the shelf for an indefinite period of time. The Viking Raiders were in the middle of a new push on the blue brand with WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H running creative. They were reintroduced as heels back in June, before Triple H started calling the shots.

Logan is married to Erik of The Viking Raiders. She was released in 2020 along with other budget cuts, and then she and Erik welcomed their first child in February 2021, a son named Raymond Cash Rowe.

Logan announced in June 2020 that she was stepping away from pro wrestling for the foreseeable future. She made a surprise appearance as the 25th entrant in the 2022 Women’s Royal Rumble Match, but lasted less than 45 seconds before being eliminated by WWE Hall of Famers The Bella Twins. Logan made a low-key appearance on the August 19 SmackDown episode earlier this year, in a Viking Funeral segment for The New Day.

Besides The Rumble earlier this year, Logan’s last WWE match came on the April 13, 2020 RAW episode, which was a loss to Shayna Baszler via referee stoppage. She has wrestled only once twice leaving WWE – she picked up a win over Amber O’Neal at the May 13 Control Your Narrative event in Cleveland, and then defeated O’Neal again the next night at the CYN show in Detroit.

Not someone I would have been interested in if she was just coming back solo but since she fits with The Viking Raiders, i'll give it a chance see where it leads to.

The least high profile return since Hunter took over. At least Erik gets to work with his wife again

 

[Dale]

As long as there's a plan and a spot for them to fit in, how high profile they are shouldn't really matter.

 

[Wiseman]

Eh, not sure what purpose she serves with the Viking Raiders. Isn't like she's a good mouthpiece and not really moving the needle with charisma.

 

[Hoss]

Yeah, it's not one that's gonna shake up the company but it's a totally reasonable hire and a bit of on injection of life into the Viking Raiders, who could easily be a top team on either brand if they want to make them that.

 

[Y2Jayne]

I'll take Sarah any day over her former Riott Squad members or Shitzi. Ecstatic to see her back.

 

[Daddy Dom]

Cool Sarah back that's def her voice.

Feud with Hit Row looms

Makes perfect sense to put her with the Viking raiders. Obviously not a needle mover though.

A lot of mixed gender stables are around now this move adds another for more possible feuds.
Vikings, Hit Row, LeGado, Judgement Day, and I imagine Wyatt’s crew

Terrible....she was like the worst one in the Riott Squad and they could easily fix their thin women's roster with like 6 chicks they let go from NXTUK.

Was crossing my mind

I am still wondering, they made a trend of releasing people because they had budget issues, now they keep hiring them back, so where do they find the money? Or was it just because Vince needed cash to pay off women he harassed?

 

[Canadian Dragon]

Feels a bit like a favor hire, struggle to see why they need super low card female talent when they have nxt. Outside of a raiders reunion r 2/3 riott reunion i dont really see the value ngl. Good for her ig

I mean they weren't releasing them because they had actual budget issues
