-AEW Dynamite will be live from Norfolk, Virginia, at Chartway Arena. The show includes Chris Jericho vs. Nick Wayne. Join me for my live review as the show is simulcast on TBS and Max at 7CT/8ET. My same-night audio review will be available for Dot Net Members (including our Patreon subscribers).

-WWE Evolve streams tonight on Tubi at 7CT/8ET. Chris Vetter’s reviews are available after the show airs. The show features Nikkita Lyons vs. PJ Vasa for the Evolve Women’s Championship

-I gave last week’s AEW Dynamite a B- grade during my same-night audio review.

-With Saturday’s AEW Collision being a tribute show for the late Andy “The Butcher” Williams, Will Pruett declined to grade the show during his weekly audio review. As a tribute show, I gave it an A grade in terms of being a tribute show. AEW did a really nice job of honoring Williams.
