WWE (2016�present)

On April 12, 2016, Aiyegbusi joined the WWE Performance Center as part of a new class of recruits.[3] He made his professional wrestling debut under his birth name, portraying a face, at a NXT house show in Orlando, Florida on September 30, 2016, competing in a battle royal.[6] In April 2018, Babatunde started to accompany Lio Rush to the ring at NXT live events until Rush was called up to the main roster as part of 205 Live. Babatunde made his televised debut on April 27 at the Greatest Royal Rumble, entering the match as the 37th entrant and being eliminated by Braun Strowman.[7]

On August 3, 2020, Babatunde would make his return to television and his Raw debut. He would debut as part of a Raw Underground segment under the ring name Dabba-Kato.[8] He would develop a winning streak on Raw Underground defeating several local wrestlers until he was defeated by Strowman on the September 21 episode of Raw.[9] As part of the 2020 Draft in October, Dabba-Kato was drafted to the Raw brand.[10] However following the draft, he would not make a single appearance on the brand.

On Night 2 of WrestleMania 37 on April 11, 2021, he returned to help Apollo Crews win the Intercontinental Championship from Big E.[11] Crews would then re-introduce him as Commander Azeez the following Friday on SmackDown, with no mention made of his previous time as Dabba-Kato on Raw, thus transferring to the SmackDown brand.[12] As part of the 2021 Draft, both Crews and Azeez were drafted to the Raw brand.[13] In June 2022, Crews and Azeez were sent to NXT.[14] At NXT Vengeance Day, Azeez returned using his Dabba-Kato name and attacked Apollo Crews following a two-out-of-three falls match against Carmelo Hayes.

rest in peace azeez, long live dabba-kato

Shine: Feb 26, 2007; No Muscles For The Majority

I remember 2 things from Raw Underground:

1. That one guy grabbing some random person by the balls and holding them for like 20 seconds.

2. Shane going up to some of the dancing women, and saying that they could get naked or kiss each other or whatever the hell because there are no rules in Raw Underground, then he said something like "okay maybe later" and that was that. I don't remember the details, but I remember how bored I felt watching it.

That time when they did manage to get movie star Dwayne Johnson back in a wrestling ring to stand next to Roman Reigns and raise his hand in triumph, it got The Rock booed.

I doubt it's the main reason Rock is not coming back, but it could be part of it.

this really was the slow-burn kickoff of Joker Dwayne in retrospect

I still feel like a non-terrible version of something like Raw Underground (a stretch, I know) would have been the ideal way to present the product during lockdown. Way less lame than the Thunderdome at least, anyway. �Arena shows are banned, so we�re filming Raw in a basement�, or, �A billion dollar company has to resort to backyard wrestling�

That could explain Rock's odd I say Yabba, You say Dabba at WM 27. He traveled back in time to get Dabba-Kato over for 37 but landed a decade off.

Makes as much sense as The Miz headlining anyway.

I liked that Raw Underground was completely in its own bubble for weeks until the Hurt Business literally and metaphorically kicked in the barrier, annihilated all the fighters, and announced this was now their operation and then the next week that actually hadn't happened and Shane was still making random shortsmen fight

The raw underground episode also saw the debut of retribution, two minutes of wrestling in the first hour, and near limitless video packages

I think the thread consensus was that it was one of the worst raws in recent history
