10 Lockdown Era WWE Superstars You Totally Don't Remember
2. Dabba-Kato
That's precisely what Shane McMahon-led man mountain Dabba-Kato was there to do during the shortlived "Raw Underground" segments between 3 August-21 September 2020. WWE ran their own version of Fight Club, with the only rule ironically being that nobody talked about Raw Underground (after a week or two).
Kato got to smash some fools and grunt a lot. Then, an even bigger beast came along and ended his run. Braun Strowman vanquished Dabba right before Underground was binned, and it'd be a while before Kato was on TV again; he'd go on to become Commander Azeez and link up with Apollo Crews.
How's that for a gimmick change?
Only the most hardcore of fans will recall Dabba-Kato becoming Shane O-Mac's unstoppable mauler on the recurring fight ring segment. It seemed to be over just as quickly as it had started. A bunch of extras throwing hands was not going to pop big ratings in 2020. It didn't matter how excited or sweaty McMahon got.
