Let me make this clear.

Keanu Carver was quietly released from WWE on October 5th, 2027. Arianna Grace (Bianca Carelli), was granted an order of protection against Carver after filing a detailed petition alleging stalking and abuse.

WWE's Legal and Company Action: The order bars Carver from contacting Grace or coming within 500 feet of her. In response to the allegations and legal developments, WWE opted to cut ties and release him.

WWE has not updated their roster to reflect the release, as it is still a controversial and recent event.

  @Wright Correct.
  
  When talent is released due to shady behavior, WWE often doesn't announce it AT ALL.
  
  He has been let go, plain and simple.

Can we add Keith Lee back to the AEW roster i know there hasn't been any official updates from AEW or himself but given hes still listed on the aew website leads me to believe he still is employed there

  @BBCKing Actually, WWE takes their time removing superstars from the company so it could take a week or 2 until they are removed, for now it has been confirmed by Fightful select that he was released so it will be one of two weeks until he is removed.

I know it's early, But what are your Money in the Bank Predictions?
MITB Womens: I honestly could see all women winning, But out of them, I'll go with Roxanne Perez

Oba Femi v Bronson Reed: I think the ending will be similar to Sunday Nights Main Event, No Contest, Hell, Do a Ring Break! I think they want to keep both men strong since I think Wrestlepalooza will probably feature the World Heavyweight Champion v Bronson Reed

Vaquer v Morgan v Lynch: I don't think Vaquer is losing this early, So she'll retain, Though I could see something happening after the match where Roxy attempts a cash in but Liv Morgan prevents it

MITB Mens: Literally all participants winning would make sense, Though I think that it'll be one of Trick, Penta or Breakker, My money is on Penta

LA Knight v Roman Reigns: This match will probably break down at some point, 946 Will 100% interfere and there will be a Bloodline-946 Brawl and Roman Reigns will probably have something insane happen to him at the hands of 946, Though I think Roman Reigns will probably still win because WWE refuse to give anything to LA Knight.

  @MrAicrow MITB Men: CM Punk
  MITB Women: Roxanne Perez
  Oba defeats Bronson Reed.
  Stephanie pins Liv, and Lynch doesn't make it to break the pin.
  Roman destroys Knight on his own, retaining his title.

I want to share some of the work I’ve done recently:

I’ve made the profiles for 80s managers Paul Jones, Skandor Akbar, and Sir Oliver Humperdink. Manager profiles are often harder to do since their stints in wrestling companies aren’t often recorded, especially as these guys were old school territory names. Would be awesome if y’all check them out!

Also got card positions/new images for Justin Gabriel and Bob Backlund

You are misdirecting everyone; you need to add Keanu Carver to this roster until the release is officially confirmed. WWE has not yet confirmed his release from the company, and until he is removed from the NXT roster and moved to the alumni roster list, and WWE confirms his release, he should be put back on the roster.

In the AEW roster list, update Megan Bayne's photo because it's shown that she has black hair and that's not what she looks like now. She currently has blonde hair. So yeah, I think you should update her AEW photo on the list of the AEW roster personnel.

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.
