#1 RAW Underground considered 'done' backstage in WWE

If Dave Meltzer's latest update is to be believed, WWE could very well be done with RAW Underground.

The fans have not seen any segments of the shoot-style wrestling project over the past few weeks. WWE chose not to film more RAW Underground segments due to the recent COVID-19 outbreak within the company. There was a fear that the extras being used in RAW Underground would spread the virus to talent from RAW and SmackDown.

It was noted that almost everyone kept away since the outbreak came back, but there are still no signs of RAW Underground returning to be a part of WWE programming. As things stand, WWE seems to have pulled the plug on RAW Underground.

Meltzer revealed the following:

Raw Underground for right now is considered done. At first it was dropped because of the COVID breakout and fear the extras who are in the crowd may have been exposed so it was shut down for a few weeks. But almost everyone who was part of that breakup is now back. Then again most were back either this week or last and this week with the draft it wouldn't have fit as easily. There was fear that bringing all those people, both the wrestlers and the people they used as the audience, to Raw tapings could start a spread to the Raw roster and the idea is to keep NXT talent away from Raw and Smackdown talent as much as possible
