WWE is currently taping tonight’s edition of RAW as well as next week’s edition of RAW from the Frank Erwin Center in Austin, Texas. Our very own Sheist Malone is in attendance and is sending us text message updates for the tapings.
Pre-Show Notes:
- According to one of our correspondents, the arena is beginning to fill up. The HEAT background is on the new HD titantron as the company prepares to tape that show first. Look for the first match to be dark.
- A WrestleMania promotional video is shown to the live crowd. Lilian comes out to sing the national anthem.
