5 bold predictions for RAW Underground 

RAW Underground is the talk of the WWE Universe after its debut. While some fans aren't into it, there is a large portion of the audience that wants to see what happens next. Many viewers are also interested in WWE's renewed attempt at creating an edgier product.

If nothing else, WWE has fans engaged with the product again, which is a huge step to keep them interested in what's going on. It might not happen immediately because segments like this will need time to grow organically, but it does have the potential to be great.

With that being said, here are five bold predictions for this new segment. As always, let us know your thoughts in the comments below, and be sure to tell us what predictions you have for the new segment.

#5. Women will start competing on RAW Underground

Who wants to see Dana Brooke over other female Superstars on RAW Underground?

Dana Brooke took to twitter after the debut of RAW Underground to tell Shane McMahon that she wanted to participate in the segments. This raises the question of whether women can compete. Interestingly enough, the answer seems to be a resounding yes.

Not only is that evident by the fact that the Women's Revolution is still going strong, but also by the fact that women MMA fighters exist. In fact, this might be yet another way to put the women on the same level as the men and start featuring women MMA style fights as well.

Maybe WWE could even go a step further and bring in UFC talent to take on the RAW roster and help elevate them to a higher level. In the end, it would be interesting to see how WWE would handle women's MMA fighting and would be yet another huge step in the Women's Evolution.

#4. RAW Underground will branch off into other things

RAW Underground doesn't feel like a finished concept yet.

RAW Underground is a unique concept. While it started as an underground fight club, what if the company were to take it a step further? What if the company were to add aspect reminiscent to The Attitude Era that they have tried so hard to recapture?

For example, WWE could move from the ropeless ring to cage fights. Not only would it increase the level of danger in every bout, but it would also open up the possibility of Superstars bleeding again. If WWE decides to do something else with RAW Underground, there are so many possibilities.

RAW Underground as it stands isn't a finished concept yet. That's why it feels like WWE has to add something to the segments to flesh them out a bit and give the segments more variety for fans to enjoy.

#3. WWE uses RAW Underground to bring back Ronda Rousey

Could Ronda Rousey show up on RAW Underground?

While Ronda Rousey claimed she would never be a full-time WWE Superstar again, what if she were to show up on an episode of RAW Underground? Interestingly enough, WWE's attempt to branch out into MMA style shoot fighting could be just the thing that brings Rousey back to the company.

Of course, WWE will have to bring in more UFC style fighters to raise the stakes and increase the legitimacy of it all. At any rat, there could be a diamond of a story to tell under the right conditions. It might even net more mainstream media attention for WWE, which would be a great way to get new eyes on the product.

Ronda Rousey is a big-time star. Having her on even one pay-per-view event or edition of RAW would be a box office draw. Furthermore, it would be nice to see Rousey back on WWE programming again. This might help fans become more invested in the women's roster.

#2. Shane McMahon comes into conflict with Vince McMahon over RAW Underground

Will Vince and Shane McMahon but heads over RAW Underground?

There are a lot of what-ifs right now surrounding the future of RAW Underground and the possibilities are just endless at this point. For example, WWE could make it seem like Vince McMahon isn't on board with this edgier product, causing him to but heads with Shane McMahon

Not only would it be a continuation of the lockbox storyline that was never resolved a few years ago, but it would also create some chaos that would captivate the audience. Furthermore, it's the type of storyline viewers would see during The Attitude Era. So, the company almost has to do it.

In the end, watching Shane and Vince go head to head again would be entertaining to watch. It would be another interesting chapter in the McMahon family saga. Maybe WWE can even find a way to get the whole family involved again, which would be a great way to evoke some old memories.

#1. Raw Underground is a way to set up Bobby Lashley vs. Brock Lesnar

What if RAW Underground is WWE's way of setting up Brock Lesnar versus Bobby Lashley?

What if RAW Underground is just a way to set up Brock Lesnar versus Bobby Lashley somewhere down the line? Seriously though, "The Hurt Business" made their presence felt during the closing minutes of RAW Underground and it seems like this is WWE's way of repackaging Lashley.

The most effective way to do that might be to bring in Brock Lesnar for a highly-anticipated dream match. Maybe that's a bit of a pipe dream, especially since WWE isn't interested in using Lesnar for empty arena shows, but doing a fight club type segment might be a way around that.

As a matter of fact, MMA style fights might just be WWE's way of slowly starting to set Lesnar on a collision course with Lashley later this year. It might even help bring a sense of legitimacy to the segments and give them mainstream attention. This could even result in one of the biggest box office draws of the entire year.
