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.
