WWE Rumor Roundup - Braun Strowman lawsuit, Controversy over RAW Underground dancers, Former IC Champion ready to return after 21 years and more - 11th August 2020

#1. The person in the WWE reportedly responsible for RAW Underground

RAW Underground has completed two editions and WWE has introduced various well-known as well as new faces as part of the shoot-style wrestling contest.

Tom Colohue revealed on the latest edition of the Dropkick DiSKussions podcast that RAW Underground was entirely Shane McMahon's idea.

Shane McMahon's creative influence has considerably grown backstage, and people in WWE are reportedly quite high on his ideas. With WWE short on writers, the company has been turning towards veteran talents and personalities to help with the creative requirements.

Here's what Tom Colohue revealed on the Dropkick DiSKussions podcast with host Korey Gunz:

"It was entirely Shane's idea, and I wouldn't be too surprised to see him step into that ring sooner rather than later. Honestly, people in the WWE are really quite high on some of Shane's ideas recently, including back in the Best of the World tournament and the Royal Rumble this year, where he was heavily involved in the booking. WWE has lost a lot of writing talent recently, so they have been leaning on wrestlers like Bryan, like Edge and the bosses, the McMahon family as well, even though, for example, Stephanie McMahon isn't there and isn't involved in anything. Shane's been very vocal."
