Rumor Roundup: Why Seth Rollins Was Moved To Smackdown, The Future Of RAW Underground, More

Here are some of the latest WWE rumors that are floating around.

5) The Future Of ‘RAW Underground’

According to Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE has canceled ‘RAW Underground’.

Here is what Meltzer wrote:

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

My Take:

  • I appreciate that they tried something new with RAW Underground. It was fun while it lasted but I am not devastated to see it go.

4) WWE’s Plans For Weekly Live Events

According to @Wrestlevotes, WWE won’t be bringing weekly live events back until 2022. These weekly live events are better known as house shows.

Here is what the account Tweeted:

My Take:

  • This makes sense based on everything that is going on in the world right now. This does suck though as House Shows were always some of the most fun shows to attend as a fan. They also allowed talent to make some extra money.
