-WWE Raw will be held tonight in Phoenix, Arizona at Talking Stick Resort Arena for the first of back-to-back shows. WWE is advertising Roman Reigns vs. Braun Strowman vs. John Cena vs. The Miz vs. Finn Balor vs. Elias vs. Seth Rollins in a gauntlet match. This is the final Raw event before the Elimination Chamber event on Sunday. Join me for live coverage as Raw airs on USA Network tonight at 7CT/8ET.
-The WWE Smackdown crew is in El Paso, Texas at Don Haskins Center tonight. There are no matches advertised on the arena website, but it is likely AJ Styles vs. Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn in a handicap match for the WWE Championship, and The Usos vs. New Day vs. Chad Gable and Shelton Benjamin vs. Bludgeon Brothers in a four-way for the Smackdown Tag Titles.
-We are looking for reports for tonight’s WWE Main tapings that will be held prior to WWE Raw in Phoenix, the Smackdown house show in El Paso, and Tuesday’s WWE Smackdown Live in Phoenix. If you are going to Raw, Smackdown, or an upcoming live event and want to help us out with off-air match result details, contact me at dotnetjason@gmail.com
