A few changes we need to the roster:
The Bella Twins are on Smackdown, B-Fab and Michin are both Mid-Cards, pretty sure Zelina is Low-Card, Axiom and Nathan Fraizer are Low-Cards, I'm pretty sure Trish Stratus isn't a Part-Time wrestler anymore, hasn't wrestled since Evolution 2025, and I'm pretty sure Niko and Shawn are mid

Fraxiom should be low card. Jey Uso should be upper card tweener. Jimmy Uso should be upper card face.

i posted this before, but with sami zayn winning the US title and set to face trick williams at mania, i really think he should be placed in the mid card
LA knight should be as well, he's not doing anything in the upper card

Let your Oracle make something clear.

Roman Reigns is a FACE
Jimmy Uso is a FACE.
Jey Uso is a TWEENER.
CM Punk is a FACE.

Roman Reigns is a Face due to Jey Uso getting into his head this past episode of Raw, causing Roman Reigns to snap against CM Punk.

As for Jimmy Uso, you could tell that he was trying to keep it all together for his brother and Your Tribal Chief, being the middleman; the glue to hold it down during a tumultuous time... And since CM Punk desecrated the family name by insulting the dead, and the Usos to their face, in a whole two-week span.

And as previously mentioned, Jey Uso is firmly a Tweener! He was the instigator for the Face-aligned Roman to spear CM Punk in the first place. That was ultimately a case of being either peer-pressure (I'm not talking about Austin Theory,) or vengeance for his father whom Phil just HAD to make a scathing remark over. I believe anybody who was in the same position as Roman Reigns would do as Jey Uso would say, his Tweener status notwithstanding.

Finally, to make it short, CM Punk is a Babyface. That's the official standings. You could make your little fan theories about him being a Tweener, but he has been a Face since his return in 2023.

I feel that anyone who's in WWE and AAA that's depicted as a different type of character currently on either show face/heel should be labeled as a tweener.

The NXT Heritage Cup has been retired ever since July 12, 2025, at the NXT Great American Bash when Tony D'Angelo had his feud with Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo. Tony D'Angelo stone the NXT Heritage Cup and showed a video of him throwing it over a bridge into water.

The physical trophy was submerged, with fans (us) viewing the incident as a sign that the title would be deactivated and it essentially has!

Now, while WWE's official website continued to recognize Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo as the champion for a time, he stopped appearing with the Cup or being referred to as champion on television.

For the sake of simplicity and to stop the headaches, the Cup is essentially useless now. There is no reason for it to be here still if WWE themselves will not acknowledge it as a prize anymore.

  @Paul Heyman (Wright) Stacks is still the holder of the cup. It just got thrown into the lake.
