The concept of the Underground is a potential huge step in the right direction. It all depends on the execution of it. It was introduced yesterday that the Underground is a place where there are no rules while fighting. This is cool, except in-ring WWE fighting currently doesn’t have any rules either.
With that, this a chance for WWE to implement rules in their matches such as: no closed fists, no knees to the head, etc.
This would help the legitimacy and realism of their matches and also assist their former MMA talent keep their credibility. As of now, how should any former MMA trained wrestler ever lose? It’s not believable. So the Underground can serve a way to protect the legit fighters that have turned to WWE.
An example of an angle could be:
In a WWE match, Riddle instinctually knees Corbin in the head in the heat of the moment and gets DQ’d. Corbin brags about his victory, which leads to Riddle wanting to challenge him in the Underground where he can legally knee his face in.
There are a ton of simple, effective ideas to do with their talent in this environment, but there needs to be logic, consistency, and effort (LOL).
