Kofi does have a new render on AEW's page. The current one should most definitely be used for his final 2 months in WWE, since he looked like that then.

I understand that you try to not have the titles in the renders, but that hasn't stopped y'all before.

i know it's weird but oba should probably be moved to mid card for now. he isn't feuding with roman or any other upper carders at the moment. i'm sure he will eventually but right now he's feuding with the vision, specifically bronson reed and bron breakker. either that or move the vision (or at least just those two, maybe not logan and theory) up to upper card.

PAC put on a great show against andrade last night, unfortunately we never wouldve thought it was going to be his last. He did it for his fans and family, sure as hell did it for the Death Riders too. RIP PAC
