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

When Je'Von Evans won the Money in the Bank qualifier, I legitimately said out loud, "Who could have f*cking guessed?"

Bad match.

  @Wright Agreed because Big Cass's Big O'Ass is breaking the ladder the moment he steps on it & for Austin Theory, Bron Breakker already qualified.

  @Wright I still wonder, why Je'Von? Genuinely if they wanted to make Big Cass a threat, why have him take the pin?

  @Draysin Martin I wonder why they keep showcasing Je'Von Evans and all the PLEs if he hasn't even won a title. He has the talent to back it up but they just won't pull the trigger for him at all. Should have been Cass. At least he has veteran history and is a big man and can cause mayhem. I don't hate Je'Von at all, please don't get me wrong, But it's frustrating seeing him showcased everywhere if he doesn't win. I'm also very biased because I'm a huge fan of Cass.

  @Wright It isn't Big Cass, Which is probably for the best
  
  Also Je'von in Money in the Bank is going to be a fever dream

  @Wright The match wasn't that bad, it was still good. Also, just imagine what Je'Von Evans could do in a MITB ladder match!

It seems quite implausible to seriously consider the possibility that Penta could defeat and dethrone Roman Reigns, particularly during a just an episode of Raw.

Even though this event is scheduled to take place in Mexico City, a location known for its energetic crowds, and it is sure to be a match of such significant caliber that is more suitable for a major Premium Live Event....

This is Roman Reigns we are talking about.

  @Wright Well, anything can happen. 946/OTM can interfere and cost Roman, and like what we saw with Vaquer beating Liv for the title at a live event, Penta can possibly dethrone Roman if that certain interference happens. Like I said, it's possible but not guaranteed.

  @Wright That’s reasonable but I feel like that they will do Roman vs Sami at crown jewel because of the history between them

Sami Zayn and Stephanie Vaquer getting their second reigns simultaneously was something I didn't expect. If it's the breath of fresh air finally coming to the champions, and especially Chelsea Green holding the championship, I'm just happy we're finally getting new champions. Hopefully Penta dethrones Roman Reigns.

These names should come off the active AAA roster: Chris Carter, Noisy Boy, Kento, Nobu San, Takuma, Andy Panda Jr., DMT Azul, Vampiro, Dinámico, Chessman, Cibernético, Black Andrómeda, Colmillo de Plata, Garra de Oro, Epydemius Jr., Dulce Kanela, Jessy Queen, Reina Dorada, Sussy Love, Jessy Jackson, Lady Maravilla, Aero Star, El Texano Jr., Negro Casas, El Mesías, and Monster Clown. Most of them are just multi-man filler, legends, or barely appear on the actual shows.

  @Davey Castegnaro Dinamico was at a dark match in Triplemania 34 where he lost against El Fiscal.

  @Davey Castegnaro Chris Carter, Kento, Takuma, Dinamico, El Texano, Jr. and El Mesias just wrestled at Triplemania. Nobu San is still part of Tokyo Bad Boys and as far as I know Lady Maravilla is still part of Las Toxicas. Aero Star wrestles at house shows regularly still and so does Andy Panda, Jr. it has only been a few months since Epydemius Jr. wrestled too so maybe just move them to inactive? I wouldn’t remove them from the roster yet. Noisy Boy just wrestled at Ola de Calor so he’s definitely active. So are Colmillo de Plata and Garra de Oro. The rest are question marks but so far Monster Clown, DMT Azul, Negro Casas, Black Andromeda, Dulce Kanela, Jessy Queen and Reina Dorada have yet to show up at in TV or a PLE since WWE partnered with them so it would probably be fair to remove them.
