-WWE Friday Night Smackdown is live from Orlando, Florida at Amway Center. The show features Roman Reigns vs. Braun Strowman for the WWE Universal Championship. Join me for the weekly live review as Smackdown airs on Fox tonight at 7CT/8ET. Dot Net Members will hear my audio review later tonight.

-NJPW Strong streams tonight on the New Japan World at 9CT/10ET. Anish V’s written reviews are available on Saturday morning along with his audio reviews for Dot Net Members.

-WWE 205 Live will stream on WWE Network tonight at 9CT/10ET. Dot Net contributor Colin McGuire’s written reviews are available on Saturday mornings, and his audio reviews for Dot Net Members will premiere tomorrow morning.

-The next live event listed on the WWE website is November 7 in Springfield, Massachusetts. There’s obviously no telling whether WWE or anyone of the promotions listed below will return to running live events by then. In fact, it seems highly unlikely that WWE would be allowed to venture overseas due to travel restrictions.

-New Japan Pro Wrestling’s next event is the continuation of the G1 Climax tournament on Saturday morning in Kanagawa, Japan at Yokohama Budokan.
