Shane McMahon Introduces ‘Raw Underground,’ Babatunde Returns With New Name
The first rule about Raw Underground is that it’s live on television.
On Monday’s WWE Raw, Shane McMahon introduced a new concept called Raw Underground. The concept is basically MMA with competitors “fighting” in a no roped ring with fans wearing masks standing around the ring and dancers off to the side.
Fans caught a glimpse of fights before breaks and the official debut happened just before 10 PM ET. Shane introduced Dabba-Kato, who quickly destroyed two men and won via stoppage in both bouts. There were camera cuts to the dancers during the action as well.
