One assumes that RAW Underground only happened because the company had no choice during the pandemic, and they decided to shake things up by mixing an equal dose of Fight Club and UFC into a WWE format. But the same pandemic that gave birth to this concept is also the one that ended it prematurely. There were many NXT extras who were a part of RAW Underground, and WWE did not want to risk a COVID-19 outbreak.

This is a direct quote from Sportskeeda, reporting on what Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer had said:

According to Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE decided to scrap RAW Underground for a few reasons. He revealed that WWE did not film any RAW Underground segments in recent weeks because they were worried that the extras in the segment could cause the spread of COVID-19. WWE did not want to run the risk of the roster getting the virus from these extras.

Who knows what RAW Underground could have become in due course of time?
