-WWE Raw takes place tonight in Miami, Florida at American Airlines Arena with the first show after the Royal Rumble. One can only assume that A.J. Styles will make his WWE Raw debut and that we’ll hear a 20-minute gloating promo from the McMahon family claiming that no one saw Triple H’s title win coming (or something like that). Join me for live coverage of Raw beginning with Raw Pre-Show notes as that show streams on WWE Network at 6:30 p.m. CT, and stick around for my actual live review as Raw airs on USA Network at 7:00 p.m. CT.

-We are looking for correspondents for tonight’s WWE Raw in Miami and Tuesday’s WWE Smackdown television taping in Tampa, Florida. If you are going to Raw, Smackdown, or any upcoming show and want to help us out with reports on the shows or live updates from tapings, contact me at dotnetjason@gmail.com

-Dot Net Members are listening to the 87-minute WWE Royal Rumble audio review that Jake Barnett and I recorded last night. The members will be listening to my WWE Raw audio review later tonight and my Q&A audio show this afternoon. Join us on the ad-free version of the website and special section of our free iPhone and Android apps by signing up for membership today via the Dot Net Members’ Signup Page.

-The advertised dark main event for Raw is dated, as they are still listing John Cena in a six-man tag. No, I don’t think it is a spoiler since they are also advertising Sheamus as the WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
