-WWE will hold a live event tonight in Leipzig, Germany, at Quarterback Immobilien Arena. No matches are listed on the venue’s website. We are looking for reports from this event. If you are going to this show or another upcoming live event and want to help, email me at dotnetjason@gmail.com.

-Friday’s WWE Smackdown finished with B as the top grade in our post-show poll with 32 percent of the vote. A finished second with 28 percent of the vote. I gave the show a B grade.

-Monday’s WWE Raw finished with B as the top grade in our post-show poll with 48 percent of the vote. A finished second with 24 percent of the vote. It was a polarizing episode, as 36 percent of our voters gave it a below-average grade. I gave the show a B+ grade during my same-night audio review.
