-AEW Dynamite will be live from Cleveland, Ohio, at Wolstein Center. The show features the final push for Saturday’s AEW WrestleDream pay-per-view. Join me for my live review as the show is simulcast on TBS and Max at 7CT/8ET. My weekly same-night audio review will be available for Dot Net Members (including our Patreon subscribers).
-A one-hour version of AEW Collision will air live after Dynamite at 9CT/10ET.
-WWE Evolve streams tonight on Tubi at 7CT/8ET. Tonight’s show carries the Succession IV theme and features men’s and women’s Evolve Championship matches. Chris Vetter’s reviews are available after the show airs.
-WWE Main Event premieres on Rumble tonight at 7CT/8ET. The show features Sol Ruca vs. Lyra Valkyria, Dragon Lee vs. Austin Theory, Rey Fenix vs. Kit Wilson, and Nathan Frazer vs. Ricky Saints. It’s a nice lineup, but we’ll see how long this lasts. I still remember the premiere of WWE Superstars on WGN featuring Undertaker vs. Matt Hardy. It was all downhill from there when it came to the show featuring meaningful matches involving top wrestlers.
-I gave last week’s AEW Dynamite a B+ grade during my same-night audio review. Last week’s AEW Dynamite received an A grade in our post-show poll from 43 percent of our voters. B finished second with 33 percent of the vote each. I gave Dynamite a B+ grade.
-I gave Saturday’s AEW Collision a B- grade during my same-night audio review.
