5 wrestling rumors we hope are true and 5 we hope aren't: Popular RAW star at risk of losing his job, WWE building top SmackDown star for a major title win?

#1. Hope isn't true: RAW Underground chaos in WWE?

RAW Underground seems to be a brand new concept that WWE has added to the flagship show as a way of mixing things up. It's essentially a "worked shoot" style of underground unsanctioned fighting without ropes.

We've seen the likes of Erik from The Viking Raiders, Dolph Ziggler, and The Hurt Business appear and make a statement. However, Dave Meltzer revealed on the Wrestling Observer Radio that the RAW Underground was WWE's attempt and throwing something at the wall and trying to make it stick:

Today was complete chaos, to the point that, a lot of guys who usually don't see things as being bad, really did as they could see how. Okay, so the whole thing is that they were just going to throw a whole bunch of stuff against the wall and hope something sticks. That's really where we're at right now, and that's what tonight's show was, throw a whole bunch of stuff on the wall and maybe find something that's a hit."

We hope this isn't true because RAW Underground isn't a bad idea by any means. It's good that WWE is trying out something different.
