WWE Raw in Baltimore (reports needed), Powell’s Q&A Audio Show, two Raw dark matches advertised, Jeff Hardy, Mickie James, Ember Moon, Sami Callihan, Tracy Smothers, Just Joe

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

-It’s Labor Day in the United States, so the updates will be less frequent than usual today and my Q&A show will be pushed back to Tuesday. It will be business as usual once Raw starts tonight.

-WWE Raw is in Baltimore, Maryland at Royal Farms Arena. WWE is advertising the brand’s King of the Ring quarterfinal matches. Join me for live coverage as Raw airs on USA Network tonight at 7CT/8ET. Dot Net Members will also hear my weekly same night audio review.

-Submit questions for Tuesday’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.

-We are looking for reports from tonight’s WWE Raw in Baltimore and Tuesday’s Smackdown in Norfolk, Virginia. 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

-The advertised dark matches on the host venue’s website for tonight’s Raw are Seth Rollins vs. Baron Corbin for the WWE Universal Championship, and Becky Lynch vs. Lacey Evans for the Raw Women’s Championship. These matches probably won’t take place given WWE’s track record of delivering Raw dark main events, but wasn’t the Extreme Rules stipulation that Corbin and Evans couldn’t challenge for those titles again because they lost the mixed tag main event?
