I want to point out something, Jon Moxley is the face while the rest of the death riders are Tweeners because they cheated during a trios match on collision they are still a cting a little bit heelish. & Gabe Kidd he is not a Tweener at all he's still Heel.

Booker T
Brie Bella

...are all WWE Ambassadors with Legends deals as well. As you have currently, some perform other duties such as being an active wrestler, commentary, producing and coaching. They are all noted as WWE Ambassadors as well.

Mark Henry is also confirmed to not be a WWE ambassador and doesn't work for them; rather he only works for WWE Radio. If we were to classify Mark Henry as an ambassador, We might as well put Tommy Dreamer and Nic Nemeth on the list as well.

So War Raiders are heels now, the reasons why they were even put in tweeners in the first place is when they were face in WWE but Heels in AAA, now they don't seem face in WWE at all

  @Joshua Araujo Solo Sikoa is one that could use a Babyface photo, and The Rock could use one with him in a suit.

very touching tribute show for pac.
i honestly think all of the death riders are faces or at least tweeners now, not just mox. mox making up with danielson is what really sealed it for me. but you have him anointing ospreay after the all out main event, DG winning the butcher battle royale and being presented as the face there, then everything tonight.
i don't think the faction will be portrayed as full on heels again any time soon, maybe gabe kidd if he keeps his antics up but that's it.

Kenny Omega and Wardlow are back
Bryan Danielson in the Death Riders
Death Riders seem to be leaning into becoming faces unless they were just being face only for the special
