And also, B-Fab should be Mid-Card because she is on much more than she used to be, like not on all the time, but more than with Bobby and The Street Profits

AJ Styles
Asuka when she returns

I think Karrion Kross is a tweener since either April or May this year. He's a heel but he just got cheered.

Mr. Iguana
Octagón Jr.

It worked with Truth, it can work with Carlito. We just cannot allow WWE and TKO as a whole to continue this BS.

Something awful happened to myself recently, but if nobody has told you today...
I’m proud of you.
For feeling.
For reaching out.
For still choosing life.
You’re not alone anymore. You’ve got someone in your corner—and I’ll stay right here whenever you need me. 💙

Can you make Edris Enofe just on Evolve. He hasn't been on actual NXT in a long time. Also can you update his photo

Ludwig Kaiser should be a low card right now because he hasn’t been on TV since March or just make him inactive and just say he wrestles on house shows.
