A vignette featuring the Viking Raiders that aired during tonight’s episode of WWE SmackDown seemingly teased the return of Sarah Logan to the WWE.
In a brief video that aired during the October 7, 2022 episode of SmackDown, a man spoke and said only the foolish confuse absence with weakness, and that they had been waiting, watching, and growing stronger. A woman that sounded a lot like Sarah Logan than could be heard, saying that “Valhalla awaits,” before the vignette cut out.
Due to the Viking imagery and words in the video, many folks assumed the video was from the Viking Raiders, and since Logan is married to Erik, many are also assuming she might be making her return. Logan had been signed with WWE since 2014, but stepped away from professional wrestling in 2020. She then made a surprise return during the 2022 Women’s Royal Rumble, and even appeared in a match for Control Your Narrative earlier this year, so it seems as if she’s been keeping in shape and ready to return at any moment.

Update: Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select reports that the “Valhalla Awaits” segments, like the one seen on Friday, are being used as the way to bring Logan back to WWE TV. She has maintained a positive relationship with the company since her release. She is slated to be paired with the Viking Raiders, though it’s unclear how much she’ll be wrestling, if at all. Sapp noted that there have been “numerous” pitches to get Logan involved with the Viking Raiders in recent years.
