Welcome back to Wrestling World!
Today’s wrestling news will feature an update to the Raw Underground situation as well as
Peyton Royce’s reveal about her big transformation, so let’s get right into
Starting with the Raw Underground dancers.
That was real fast, WWE was facing some criticism from fans and former WWE superstars about
their usage of the dancers on Raw Underground
A lot of people thought that the dancers didn’t mesh well with WWE’s entire women’s revolution
that we’ve been experiencing over the last few years
We even talked about it here on the channel a few days back and I agreed with some of
the things the former superstars were saying
I said that I understood the feel and scenery that WWE was going for with the entire “Underground”
concept, so they put the dancers there to give it that underground club feel to it,
but it just wasn’t well received by fans
So now we have another new update on this story.
Only one week after the Backlash, WWE responded fast by removing all the Raw Underground dancers
from the August 10th edition of Raw
Looks like they heard the feedback and acted fast by removing the dancers, but now we’re
having another movement on social media and that’s the fact that some WWE superstars
and fans want the dancers back on Raw Underground
It must be hard being in WWE’s shoes because just last week it felt like everyone was on
the “remove the dancers” train, but now everything has completely flipped to “bring
back the dancers”, so I can only imagine how it must be to be them and deal with this
split in the wrestling community right now
A large amount of viewers wanted the dancers gone, WWE listened and removed them, but now
a new large amount of viewers are asking for WWE to bring them back, so it’s just one
of those things where it’s going to be hard to please everyone
But it just wasn’t the fans that were asking for the dancers to make a return to Raw underground.
WWE Superstars themselves were making requests for the dancers to be brought back
Liv Morgan took to twitter to address the situation and express her desire for WWE to
bring them back to Raw Underground
Liv Morgan has this to say on twitter:
“Hey Raw Underground... can we bring back the dancers next week ?
One fan responded to Liv Morgan on why they didn’t like the dancers being on Raw and
it let to a little conversation between liv and the fans
The fan said:
“See I personally wasn't pleased with the dancers because I felt that it was a rather
large step backwards from the evolution”
Liv responded by saying:
“We have come so so far in the evolution..
And with no signs of slowing down I don't think it is in any danger.
Showing beautiful women proudly dancing (believe it or not, huge money making profession )doesn't
hurt anything.
Empower all women.
And plus the dancers were so nice !”
The fan read what liv had to say and replied to her once again, saying that liv did change
their perspective on it, they said:
“Okay I can see that...”
Mickie James also responded to liv morgan and was in full support of the dancers returning
to Raw Underground
So this is an interesting development and Liv Morgan has also changed my view on it
as well
Before I was saying that I understood what look and feel WWE was going for, but that
I can see why the dancers were so poorly received by many fans
But liv really made a great point.
If all the women are in full support of the Raw Underground dancers the same way that
Liv and Mickie James are then I don’t see it being a problem at all
I was under the same impression as the fan that liv was talking with, I thought this
could be seen as a step back, but if the WWE women are passionate about it and everyone
involved with it sees no issue then that’s a completely different story
So it’ll be interesting once again to see what direction WWE goes here.
At first, you had your large amount of fans demanding for the dancers to be removed, but
now you have a growing amount of fans and superstars that are demanding for them to
be brought back, so what do you really do now?
That’ll be the part to keep an eye on.
Will WWE bring them back in some capacity or are they gone for good?
We’ll have to keep watching to find out
WWE did listen to some other feedback from CM Punk and other fans who said that they
should include some women into the actual Raw underground action
That’s exactly what WWE did.
WWE brought Shayna Baszler into Raw Underground this week and she had quite the impressive
showing
They treated her appearance as a big deal and she wiped out multiple opponents within
a few short minutes
Another report said that some of the women that Shayna Baszler defeated on Raw Underground
are actually extremely talented in mixed martial arts, but they were obviously told to take
it easy on shayna because it was supposed to be a dominant showing for Shayna and WWE
didn’t want to risk an injury to her or anything else like that as well
So we’ve seen week 2 of Raw Underground, but I’m still left with the same question...what’s
the long term plan for Raw Underground?
What’s the point?
Will Shane McMahon introduce their own titles?
Is there any ladder of number one contender-ship?
What’s the structure like?
I also feel like Raw Underground is going to need more airtime if this really is going
to be a big part of Raw
Raw Underground didn’t start until the beginning of the third hour this week and we were only
with them for a few minutes
I just think maybe they need more time devoted to them or maybe we can check in with Raw
Underground throughout the entire night, just feels like they need a little more time so
that they can really build the fans’ interest in that part of the show, but that’s just
my opinion
——————————————-
I wanted to also touch on another update regarding Peyton Royce
We previously talked about how she was very high on Vince McMahon’s list of talents
with the most potential, but Peyton also revealed that she also has something huge going on
outside of the ring
Peyton Royce will be taking part in a body building competition in the coming weeks
Peyton has been dropping several videos across her social media platforms that have been
showcasing her journey and her huge transformation over the past few weeks alone
Peyton has really stepped it up and is really serious about this competition
Peyton had this to say in the description of one of her post about the journey
“I’ll have ticked off ‘Compete in a bodybuilding competition’ From my bucket
list by this time next week!
I’m so excited & nervous for the show.
These past 2 weeks have been so fulfilling and draining at the same time.”
I’ve come to learn that ‘prep brain’ is a real thing because I have had no brain
power to do anything except prep since I started this journey.
Normally, a full ‘prep’ would consist of 12 weeks of solid ‘clean eating’ (a
coach would come up with this plan of attack.
It’s not made up as you go kinda thing) & serious workouts in the gym!”
“It requires an insane amount of focus and mental toughness and only the strongest survive!
sounds like a new tv series!
So anyway, along I trot and aim to do what competitors do in 12 weeks, in THREE!”
“12 weeks has always felt so intimidating to me which I think is partly why I haven’t
attempted this in the past.
3 weeks sounded much less intimidating & from a mental stand point was a good but challenging
starting point for me.”
So that’s even more amazing to know.
According to Peyton, regular bodybuilding competitions require 12 weeks of preparation
and since that’s such a long time, it’s one of the main reasons why she never entered
one
But since this specific competition was only a prep of 3 weeks, Peyton thought it would
be perfect for her.
The 3 weeks preparation just makes it seem less intimidating to her, but like Peyton
said, the past 2 weeks have been a lot of hard work
Peyton has gone though a lot of workouts and basically an entire transformation over the
past 2 weeks.
That definitely requires a lot of mental and physical strength, so you have to give her
a lot of credit and respect for that hard work
The competition seems to be coming up any day now, so we’ll have to see if Peyton
is able to pickup the win in this huge competition
What are your thoughts on what Liv Morgan has to say about the Raw underground dancers
and what are your thoughts on Peyton’s huge transformation for this competition?
