There were reports awhile back saying Mara Sade is heading to AEW, and another report came out yesterday about Dani Luna also coming to AEW.
Perhaps they should both be inactive on the roster?

Hi so, a few notes I was thinking....

For the AAA roster Pimpinela Escarlata right now is inactive due to her being in the mexican TV program ''La Granja'' (for those curious, is like big brother but in a farm)
LWO (Joaquin and Cruz) and Lady Shani I think should be tweeners as they have both played heels and faces depending on the rivalry, Adelicious should be face as well as the rest of the psycho circus (Panic , Dave and Murder Clown)
At this point I think both Rey and Dragon Lee shouldn't even be considered part or the LWO lol, it has been ages since the last time they interacted with Joaquin and Cruz
As for the events
-They have confirmed a title match at MITB : LA Knight vs Roman Reigns (c) for the World Heavyweight Champion
- Worlds Collide also has a title match: La Catalina (c) vs Roxanne Perez for the Reina de Reinas. I know there isn't a graphic but the 4-way match at this triplemania was a conteder match

  @Davey Castegnaro Why do all the former WWE guys go to AEW? There's so many other companies, but they always pick AEW. I'll be honest, Ilja Dragunov would've been excellent in NJPW

  @Constance Affinito Primarily, because they know that worst case scenario, Tony Khan will pay them top dollar to sit in catering and do nothing.
  
  If you notice, it follows a pattern: debut on Dynamite, get treated like a big deal for three weeks, then end up appearing sporadically - often in multi-man bouts or the odd singles match.
  
  They all think they'll be the exception who finally ends up the mega star they assume themselves to be. More often than not, they just end up proving why WWE cut them in the first place.

  @The R is this about ciampa/andrade...? because if it is then it's kinda telling that you're not watching it outside of clips honestly, same with using "mega star" over pro wrestler. this tribalism stuff is super corny man, no need to make stuff up just enjoy what you enjoy

  @MIRO The only person here engaging in tribalism is you. I'm just being realistic.
