-The WWE Smackdown and NXT tapings will be held tonight at Staples Center in Los Angeles, Calif. WWE is advertising Triple H, John Cena, Batista, and Sheamus for the taping. There's no word on whether they will appear on the actual show, however, as they are all listed for the dark match main event.

-The dark match main event is Cena, Hunter, Rey Mysterio, and Edge vs. Batista, Sheamus, Chris Jericho, and C.M. Punk. As I mentioned yesterday, WWE might simply be loading up the show since it's in Los Angeles and there's no guarantee the Raw wrestlers will appear on Friday's television show.

-We are looking for correspondents who are attending tonight's Smackdown/NXT taping and send us reports. If you are going to the show and can help us out, contact me immediately at dotnetjason@gmail.com.

-Dot Net Members are listening to my 38-minute WWE Raw audio recap, as well as Rich Twilling's 47-minute TNA Impact recap. You can gain access to all Dot Net Audio on the ad-free version of the website for only $5 per month by visiting the Dot Net Members' Signup Page.

-WWE NXT will likely air live since the show is being held on the West Coast. Rich Twilling will be covering the show live tonight, and I'll be corresponding in the Dot Net Members' Forum while the show airs at 9:00 p.m. on Syfy. Plus, readers can look forward to Twilling's WWE NXT Hitlist on Wednesday, along with Chris Shore's second WWE NXT Rankings article.

-TNA Epics will air tonight at 10 p.m. CT on Spike TV. The show will feature the three X Division matches, including the great A.J. Styles vs. Daniels vs. Samoa Joe for the X Division Title from Unbreakable 2005.

-Former WWE wrestler Ken Doane is celebrating his 24th birthday today. He was born on March 16, 1986. As previously noted, Doane had a dark match tryout at the TNA Impact taping last Tuesday.

-Dot Net reader Adam Lebow is hoping a reader can answer the question of whether WWE Superstars is still airing on WGN-9 in Chicago, which is not the same as WGN America. It did not air over the weekend, and he's curious whether this is a permanent move.

-There are no pro wrestling shows advertised for tonight on ESPN Classic.
