RAW Underground, the teasers of a new faction, and various other storyline decisions have been made to boost the ratings. The WWE management is desperate to increase their dismal viewership figures, and they are also apparently scared of the fans tuning out of the show. It was noted that, at this point, WWE is just throwing stuff against the wall with the hope that it sticks.

An angle between Randy Orton and Ric Flair was also decided upon, and that would air on next week's episode of RAW.

The decision was made to kickstart the Shane McMahon fight club angle. Dave Meltzer reported that Vince McMahon had a meeting with the writing team on Wednesday before he was grilled during the investors call.
