Backstage News On The Status Of Raw Underground

WWE is reportedly set to discontinue Raw Underground, the “shoot-style fights” that were introduced by Shane McMahon in August during an episode of Monday Night Raw.

According to Dave Meltzer on the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Raw Underground “is considered done” for right now.

The report noted that the segment was initially dropped for a few weeks due to the COVID-19 breakout, and fear that extras in the crowd may have been exposed to the virus. However, that is no longer the case. Even with almost everyone involved in the Raw Underground team back to work, the word is that WWE will no longer produce the shoot-style fights.

Meltzer also noted that due to the recent WWE Draft, Raw Underground segments “wouldn’t have fit as easily” into the show. He also mentioned how WWE was trying to keep NXT talent–who served as the extras on Raw Underground–away from Raw and SmackDown talent as much as possible, due to the fear of another COVID-19 outbreak.

Raw Underground took place for eight straight weeks on Raw, starting from the August 3 episode until September 21. However, it hasn’t been featured since then. The last big Raw Underground match pitted Braun Strowman against Dabba-Kato.

WWE RAW Preview

Tonight’s WWE RAW will air live from The ThunderDome at the Amway Center in Orlando with more build for the upcoming Hell In a Cell pay-per-view.

WWE has announced a six-man main event for tonight’s RAW with WWE Champion Drew McIntyre and RAW Tag Team Champions The Street Profits vs. Robert Roode, Dolph Ziggler and Randy Orton.

The Brand-To-Brand Invitational will also continue tonight as Bray Wyatt has been invited to appear on The KO Show with Kevin Owens. This comes after Owens appeared on last Friday’s SmackDown for The KO Show with Alexa Bliss, which ended with The Fiend attacking Owens.

It’s also possible that RAW Underground will return this week. The “worked shoot-style” fighting competition took a week off last Monday due to the COVID-19 situation.

Tonight’s WWE RAW will air live from the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida with fallout from last night’s Clash of Champions pay-per-view.

WWE has not announced an official preview for tonight’s show, but it’s likely that the build for the October 25 Hell In a Cell pay-per-view will begin tonight. RAW Underground will also continue tonight with a possible follow-up to how last week’s segments ended with SmackDown Superstar Braun Strowman standing tall following his win over Dabba-Kato.

WWE did note during the Clash of Champions Kickoff pre-show that RAW will feature an update on the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions. Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax were scheduled to defend against The Riott Squad last night but WWE announced that both of the champions were not medically cleared to compete. Their status will be addressed during tonight’s RAW.
