10 Times Shane McMahon's Ego Ran Wild In WWE

Raw’s ratings have never been worse, and while it can be explained away to a degree by the empty arenas necessitated by the pandemic, the fact is the creative side of WWE is in a pretty stale state. Plenty of the matches are still good to great, but with a few exceptions the angles are undercooked, stories started and dropped at random.

Shane McMahon believes he has the answer to this, though. It seems Shane recently watched the 1999 film Fight Club, and concluded that a no holds barred street fighting division held in the basement is just the shot in the arm the flagship wrestling show needs.

Raw Underground is devised and hosted by Shane (the irony of the man with the worst worked punches in the business anchoring the segment is not lost), and has so far consisted of superstars with little else to do battering no name spectators.

It’s different if nothing else, and whether this will do anything for the ratings remains to be seen. What it certainly has achieved is to give Shane a lot of screentime, though.
