Yes, thank you SO much for the new renders, team! But I have two more petty requests... You don't HAVE to, they just itched me.

John Cena should have his July 2024 render (Retirement Tour render) from August 2025 to the present as... He is currently on the tour.

And Dragon Lee has one of my personal favorite renders on here next to Bron Breakker's, but the official image he currently has, has him in white attire. Thank you.

Discussion: John Cena's Final Match. Who should his opponent be, and should he put them over?

If I had the power, I would put Adam Copeland (Edge) in that spot for a cool one-off. But if we do not count it, Bron Breakker.

  @Wright Hill I feel like, if were talking surprise returns, Chris Jericho. But if not, Bron Breakker, Drew McIntyre, or Randy Orton. Better not be Cody Rhodes. Edge maybe too if returning

  @Constance Affinito Yeah but there is no chance Edge will return for Cena's final match there were Rumors going around that Edge's AEW Contract would expire in october but this week there was a Rumor shut down and Edge's AEW Contract is up sometime around in 2026 and he Edge himself said once his AEW Contract is up he might Retire so unless WWE & AEW reach out a deal for Edge to be cena's final opponent Edge will not return to WWE

  @Keith Meyer sol didn't vacate the championship, at least i don't think. she's still listed as the champion on WWE's website. i think if zaria wins sol retains and if she loses blake gets it. zaria is fighting on sol's behalf, not for the title for herself.

Maxxine Dupri is probably mid card at this point, it seems that the Becky Lynch feud is going to be long term, also idk but Kairi might be prob a full heel right now as the latest promo she was acting more heelish than before (could be bc of Asuka influence but idk)

I think Dragon Lee is out of Latino World Order. It might only be Cruz Del Toro and Joaquin Wilde. I can't say if Rey Mysterio is still in it or not due to injury, so current LWO should just be either Toro and Wilde, or Toro, Wilde, and Rey
