By Jason Powell, ProWrestling.net Editor (@prowrestlingnet)

-WWE Raw is in Austin, Texas at Frank Erwin Center. The Undertaker is advertised to promote his match against Bill Goldberg that will take place on Friday’s WWE Super ShowDown event in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. WWE is also playing up the idea that Brock Lesnar will cash in his Money in the Bank contract on Seth Rollins tonight. Join me for live coverage as Raw airs on USA Network tonight at 7CT/8ET. Dot Net Members will also hear weekly my audio review late tonight after the show.

-We are looking for reports from tonight’s WWE Raw in Austin, Texas, and Tuesday’s Smackdown in Laredo, Texas. 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

-Submit questions for today’s members’ exclusive Q&A audio show via email at dotnetjason@gmail.com. As always, limit yourself to three pro wrestling related questions and four non-wrestling questions.

-The advertised dark main event for tonight’s Raw is Seth Rollins vs. Baron Corbin for the WWE Universal Championship, and Becky Lynch vs. Lacey Evans for the Raw Women’s Championship.
