I'm once again preaching Fred Rosser is removed off the WWE roster here given he was a one time guest coach at the wwe performance center and there was no indication anywhere else saying he signed to wwe not even he himself said anything about being signed only stating being a guest coach

Some updates to MLW following Saturday Night SuperFight:
- Tessa Blanchard and Yota Tsuji debuted and won their respective matches.
- The Good Brothers and Austin Aries retained their respective titles.

Also, the roster needs quite a few updates, such as the addition of Zamaya, Diego Hill, Labron Kozone, Jumbo, Brick Savage, Don Gato, and others.

There should also be the addition of CONTRA, led by Josef Samael, and other factions.

Joe Dombrowski should also be added to the commentary team, since Rich Bocchini is currently just an interviewer.

If you could update the roster, that would be awesome. Sorry for the long message!

I just want to say AEW on Twitter X made a post wishing Keith Lee a happy birthday so if you want definitive proof other than being listed on the roster page on their website that hes still employed there you go

Imma be honest, ive been a wwe only guy for 10-12 years, nowadays i'd watch an aew ple or an episode of dynamite if im bored, but besides that it's been strictly wwe. it's been such a terrible year for wwe(and it's not just me saying it), and it's getting hard to defend them, they do nothing but go backwards. I'll give them until the rumble, but im not liking anything im seeing from them, i'll have to consider a short-term switch to aew if things somehow get worse.

How was Crown Jewel 2026 for you guys

My only problem was the Womens Crown Jewel Match, It was bad and Tiffy cashing in made it worse

  @MrAicrow I don't think it was the worst PLE of the year, but it was definitely on the podium.
  
  Cody vs Orton was just fine, but the feud has done nothing for either guy. Hopefully they can both move on to other things.
  
  The tag title switch was a curious decision and I think Oba's appearance was unnecessary and detracted from Penta and Evans winning. I can't imagine they'll be champions for long.
  
  Liv vs Chelsea was what it was and Tiffy's MITB cash-in had to be the most predictable one ever. However, I'm glad Stratton is now a heel; it's the only time she ever shows any personality.
  
  Reigns vs Zayn was the best bout on the card, but like the opener, it just felt like there were zero stakes.
  
  I'd give Crown Jewel a 2/5.

  It was probably the worst Women's MITB cash-in (it's between that and Nikki ASH, imo), but I think worst of all time is a bit of an exaggeration when ones like Austin Theory's and Baron Corbin's exist.

  @MrAicrow Close contender for worst PPV of the year.
  It took place in Saudi Arabia still even after you know what was still happening.
  
  the crowd was so quiet you could hear a pen drop when Cody finally punt kicked Randy Orton,which completely ruined the "Hightlight of the Night".
  
  then the vision losing the tag titles wasn't bad, it was just we knew who was going to win after Oba Femi's Music hit, & they have been teasing Bron Breakker breaking away from The Vision and this was a perfect way to do that, it's just that Oba Femi kinda ruined in In My Opinion.
  
  then The Women's Crown jewel championship match, I have a lot to say about this but I don't feel like starting something so i'm just gonna say match could've gone either way but fans knew Chelsea would win.
  
  Tiffany Stratton's heel turn was predictable, once again. the cash in was the worst thing to happen in that night & I felt like Chelsea's Reign should've gone on way longer. and WWE still hasn't pulled the trigger on Roxxane when they know it's time but of course we can never get what we want when it comes to Creative using AI.
  
  I Agree with The R on the Roman Reigns vs. Sami Zayn match, there were no Stakes at all.
  
  If you ask me to rate it out of 5 I say 1.5/5
  
  5 Up 1 Down

  @MrAicrow I'd give it a 7 out if 10. I usually judge events by matches, and every match was good. Oh course, the cash-in is the one reason its not an 8.
