-WWE Raw is live tonight from Minneapolis, Minnesota at Target Center. The show features Lyra Valkyria vs. Bayley for the WWE Women’s U.S. Championship. Join me for my live review as the show streams live on Netflix at 7CT/8ET. My weekly same night Raw audio reviews will be available exclusively for Dot Net Members (including our Patreon patrons).
-The new Pro Wrestling Boom podcast will be available today with “Survivor” Hall of Famer Jonny Fairplay and I discussing last night’s AEW Dynasty and looking ahead to WrestleMania 41. We are not taking calls, but we will take email questions sent in before 1CT/2ET via dotnetjason@gmail.com.
We are looking for reports from Raw in Minneapolis, Tuesday’s NXT in Orlando, Wednesday’s live AEW Dynamite in Baltimore, Friday’s WWE Smackdown in Seattle, and Saturday’s AEW Collision in Springfield, Massachusetts.
