-The penultimate edition of WWE Raw before WrestleMania 32 takes place tonight in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at Wells Fargo Center. Roman Reigns and Triple H are advertised. However, Undertaker, Shane McMahon, and Brock Lesnar are not advertised for this event. 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.
