WWE made several notable cuts to RAW Underground last night, trimming Shane McMahon's wacky fight club of three separate segments.

According to Fightful Select, the first of these segments showcased MMA Four Horsewomen member and Ronda Rousey/Shayna Baszler associated Jessamyn Duke, who destroyed an enhancement talent. Her ally, Marina Shafir, then hit the rope-less ring, destroying another job. This was also left on the cutting room floor.

There was also supposed to be a set-piece involving Titus O'Neil and Riddick Moss, setting up a future fight between the two, but this never went down. On top of all this, WWE scrapped the Dolph Ziggler vs. Ivar match they had booked in advance and advertised for the show.

No reason has been given for the changes. Ziggler and Ivar ended up appearing on RAW Underground anyway, with Dolph getting beaten up by Bobby Lashley and Ivar later rushing in when 'The All Mighty' went too far after a fight with Cedric Alexander. A mass brawl broke out, with Erik and the rest of The Hurt Business got involved, closing with the heel unit standing tall after taking The Viking Raiders out.
