- We noted earlier in the week that indie veteran Pineapple Pete (Sugar Dunkerton) was one of the extras who Bianca Belair ran against in her vignette on this week's RAW. The other two runners were played by indie wrestlers Nick Stanley and Skyler Moore.
Like Pete, Moore has also competed for AEW this year. Stanley appeared as a RAW Underground competitor last month and lost to Braun Strowman.
This month Suge D was a RAW Underground spectator. Both Suge & Skyler also competed in numerous All Elite Wrestling matches this year. Nick was last seen on the 9/14 RAW Underground segment where he fought Braun Strowman. #WWE #RAW #WWERaw pic.twitter.com/nCHcH61UsP
