finn is face or tweener
natalya is heel
je'von doesn't actually seem to be injured, reports are saying that he is probably fine
i also agree with penta & dragon lee moved to upper card with rey, either that or the vision should be moved to mid card, which wouldn't be crazy because none of them are fighting for world titles after bron lost to punk and that feud seems to be done (for now at least)

  @fWRENzy's return! Hey, fWRENzy! Good to see you.
  
  I would go with Bron Breakker as well, But I feel as if Oba Femi Or even possibly LA Knight are really good contenters.
  
  As for women, Liv Morgan or Bianca Belair.

i am pretty sure finn now is a babyface or a tweener as he showed respect to Punk and also aknowledge the crowd. And maybe this is my opinion but if rey mysterio is upper card may put penta and dragon lee as well since they are feuding with the vision
