Mike Bennett fka Mike Kanellis was released by WWE earlier this year when the COVID-19 pandemic forced budget cuts. Bennett fought painkiller addiction for a large chunk of his WWE career and never really got a chance to show what he was capable of.Last night's episode of WWE RAW saw Shane McMahon make his return to the company. Shane was at the heart of RAW Underground on last night's show where we saw scripted MMA style fights being held in a makeshift Fight Club.Mike Bennett on RAW UndergroundMike Bennet took to Twitter and gave his thoughts on RAW Underground, saying that this was exactly the sort of thing WWE needed to try during the pandemic:I’m not sure if #RawUnderground will be successful, but I love that they are trying something new. I’ve said since the start of the Pandemic, throw everything against the wall. What do you have to lose? Wrestling needs to be turned on it’s head. Keep trying different ideas.I’m not sure if #RawUnderground will be successful, but I love that they are trying something new.

Mike Bennett explained why Shane McMahon being involved in the concept was important:I get that. I view using Shane in that spot as no different than having a celebrity at your stores grand opening. You have an established name draw attention to something new, then hope the new concept will keep people engaged. https://t.co/Kj2GmN2zEr— Miracle (@RealMikeBennett) August 4, 2020Maria Kanellis opens up about WWE RAW storylineAfter her release from the WWE, Maria Kanellis opened up about the RAW storyline regarding who the father of her child was.

I am giving the fans insight into what my husband and I were told/experienced. Period. If you insult me I will automatically block you.
