WWE Hall of Famer Madusa, also known by the ring name Alundra Blayze, has slammed the company for using 'half-naked women' in a skit on their flagship TV show RAW.
The introduction of 'RAW Underground' includes women cheerleaders dancing around the ring area. However, Madusa made it clear she wasn't a fan of the gimmick.
"SO? We are bringing back half naked women in the same breath of promoting the evolution and equality of women," she said in a tweet.
"Yes this is entertainment yes this is a skit yes this is acting yes these are wrestlers why resort to women sexually dancing opening a show? Why not Men in speedos?"

Madusa then went on to tag Shane McMahon, the man who is the on-screen face of Raw Underground, and asked him to open the segment with three male dancers.
"Dear Shane, Could you please have a women’s underground segment and open up with three male dancers… Yours truly, you’re (sic) number one Hall of Famer ALUNDRA or you can call me MADUSA," she said in another tweet.
