I really like where WWE is going with 946. Besides 946, what is the best storyline going on right now in your guys opinion?

  @Jackson Conley The storyline that will lead to Roxxane Perez leaving the judgement day. Roxxane looks like she does not want ot be in judgement day anymore. there were sreports saying Roxxane will eventually leave the Judgement Day & be pushed as a singles star. And I have a way of booking her leaving the group & having a feud with Liv Morgan.

Maybe is my opinion but I think it would be nice if you guys added up the mixed tag teams in AAA as also a part of the tag teams/stables section in the wrestlers profile. Mostly because a lot of the times these tag teams also have a longevity and sometimes even history on AAA
