• WWE May Be Planning To Debut A Brand New Title Soon

Shane McMahon introduced RAW Underground for the third hour of WWE RAW three weeks ago. The idea was introduced in an attempt to boost the ratings of the show.

While there isn’t any prize for winning the fights there, it seems like we may see the debut of the RAW Underground Championship, if WWE plans to stick around with the idea for a long time.

Twitter user BeltFanDan, who has broken several news stories about Championships in the past, reports that there have been talks of introducing a RAW Underground Championship, which would look like the WWF Hardcore Championship.

“Supposedly the idea of a RAW Underground Championship was pitched. Suggestions included it looking beat up like the Hardcore belt with spray paint and simulated brick texturing.”
