There are many questions as to why WWE would choose to go with a segment like RAW Underground, but one of the biggest has to be whether it is the company's attempt at an edgier product. If it is and this is what WWE thinks fans want, one also has to wonder why they would think that.

Sure, fans do want an edgier product that appeals to a more adult audience and WWE seems to have the timing right, but why MMA-style fighting? Why was that what they thought would make the product edgier and help bring in more people that wouldn't want to watch otherwise?

In the end, RAW Underground was a very surprising move by the company and it definitely comes with its pros and cons. With that being said however, maybe WWE is trying to once again blur the lines between reality and fiction and doing shoot fights backstage is their attempt to achieve that goal.
