#1. Why put Shane McMahon in charge of RAW Underground?

Why was Shane McMahon brought back to run Raw Underground?
Why was Shane McMahon brought back to run Raw Underground?

One of the biggest questions about RAW Underground is the fact that Shane McMahon was brought back to host the third-hour event. While that might have been fine when he was a babyface, it is a little confusing after seeing him be a heel for so long.

It's almost like WWE wants fans to forget everything McMahon did over the last couple of years and just see him as the host of this new RAW Underground operation. Maybe it works or maybe it doesn't, but McMahon is seemingly a weird choice for the role after an extended absence and a role as a top-tier heel.

In the end, it might have something to do with previous reports that Shane McMahon wanted Vince McMahon to buy UFC from Dana White when it was first taking off, but why go back to that so many years later? Furthermore, why go the MMA shoot-style route instead of improving the in-ring storytelling on RAW?
