few things:
1. bianca should be in either injured or inactive, she's been gone for quite a while with no update other than that her finger injury is taking longer to heal than expected. that appearance a few months ago was just a one time thing because smackdown was in knoxville, her city. she's not featured weekly like dom was when he was injured.
2. this one might be too early to call, but possibly carmelo hayes to tweener? to me, in his partnership with the miz since miz returned, it seems he is definitely being presented in a sympathetic light, in a way that a full on heel wouldn't be.
3. i think asuka should be either heel or tweener, she's definitely not a face right now at least. not with how she's been shown in opposition to rhea, kairi and iyo (unambiguous faces). maybe a full turn hasn't happened yet but it's hard to call her a face currently.
