-WWE Raw is live tonight from Paris, France, at Accor Arena. The show features King and Queen of the Ring tournament matches. This show concludes the European tour. Join me for my live review as Raw streams live on Netflix this afternoon at 1CT/2ET. My weekly same-night Raw audio reviews are available exclusively for Dot Net Members (including our Patreon patrons).

-Dot Net Members will be listening to my Q&A audio show today or on Tuesday (Raw airing this afternoon may bump the show to Tuesday). Submit questions for the Q&A Audio Show via email at dotnetjason@gmail.com this morning before 11CT/12ET (or the same time on Tuesday if the show isn’t out today). 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).

-We are looking for reports from today’s Raw in Paris, Tuesday’s NXT in Orlando, Wednesday’s live AEW Dynamite and the Thursday AEW Collision in Cincinnati, and Friday’s WWE Smackdown in Providence. If you are going to one of the shows and want to help, email me at dotnetjason@gmail.com
