-WWE Raw is live today from Belfast, Northern Ireland, at The SSE Arena. The show is headlined by CM Punk vs. Finn Balor for the World Heavyweight Championship. Join me for my live review as the show streams live today on Netflix at 2CT/3ET. My weekly same-night Raw audio review will be available exclusively for Dot Net Members (including our Patreon patrons).
-Submit questions for today’s Q&A Audio Show via email at dotnetjason@gmail.com. Please maintain the limit of three pro wrestling-related questions and four non-wrestling questions. This show is available exclusively for Dot Net Members (including our Patreon patrons). The show may be pushed back to Wednesday due to Raw streaming this afternoon (and a recording conflict on Tuesday).
-We are looking for reports from tonight’s Raw in Belfast, Tuesday’s NXT in Orlando, Wednesday’s live AEW Dynamite in Orlando, Thursday’s TNA Impact in Albuquerque, Friday’s WWE Smackdown and Saturday Night’s Main Event in Montreal, Saturday’s AEW Collision in Arlington, and the WWE European tour live events. If you are going to one of the shows and want to help, email me at dotnetjason@gmail.com
