Admittedly, we're a bit torn on this one. While Liv Morgan certainly had a point about the dancers on RAW Underground, there was the other side to look at for WWE as well.

With WWE, there are many things to take into account, especially since they're a global brand that has to appeal to all the markets. Dave Meltzer on the Wrestling Observer Newsletter revealed the reason behind WWE's decision to scrap the dancers on RAW Underground:

An interesting note between week one and week two is they dropped the dancing girls. Since last week and this week were taped together, that says after they taped the first installment, somebody convinced Vince, or Vince himself on his own decided the dancing girls don’t fit. It’s probably a good call because when you spend so much time pushing yourselves as leaders in women sports, even if you’re actually 50 plus years behind the actual leaders, presenting a show with that type of dancing girls does counteract that.

We hope this is true. While we certainly didn't have anything against the dancers, it's a valid point of view to look at from WWE's perspective.
