I think it is safe to say that Braun Strowman is a WWE Ambassador due to him having partnered up with them to make his show.

Can't get footage without permish.

Jasper Troy should be mid card, Logan Paul should be inactive, Grayson Waller should be mid card, DIY are no longer in NXT as that was for a few weeks, the Wyatt’s should be heels, AJ styles should be upper card as he will have a match with Cena at crown jewel, Jacob Fatu should be inactive since wwe isn’t using him, and motor city machine guns well they haven’t wrestled since last month either inactive or they remain on the mid card scene as if now, but take your time don’t rush on these

After new monday night raw segment :
- Jimmy Uso ( from Smackdown to RAW )
- Jey Uso, 100% tweener
- Asuka 100% heel with Kairi Sane after attacking betray Io
- Rusev is tweener, his feud kinda confusing ( feud to face Sheamus and feud to heel Dom )
- 3 Up 3 Down

  @Dyenemo I agree with everything but Kairi Asuka Forced kairi to attack Rhea & Iyo so therefore kairi is Tweener

  @Dyenemo Jimmy Uso's WWE profile page still lists him as Smackdown, so it should remain that way on here until there is official confirmation from WWE

Glenn Jacobs (Kane) has always been a WWE Ambassador since 2021. Hell, He has been signed to WWE since 1995! Please just don't take the Google AI overview as gospel, lol.

But yes, please put Kane back as a WWE Ambassador.

asuka is definitively a heel now. probably upper card too if that's where rhea and iyo are, since that's the program. it's non-title but it main evented a show.
kairi is now tweener, she is conflicted about her actions and is presented as a more morally gray character. upper card as well.
pete dunne and tyler bate are not inactive, they're with kaiser in his el grande americano stable. not faces, either tweeners or heels.
shinsuke is not inactive and has been in the background of backstage segments on smackdown the last couple of weeks, stalking sami zayn.
feel like they kinda teased a finn face turn tonight? not fully yet but something to keep an eye on.

Asuka fr a heel again, but the way kairi was portrayed, is she also heel or is she tweener because of the fear factor of it all?

shinsuke is not inactive. he's been in the background of some backstage segments on smackdown recently. he's coming for sami in the US open challenge soon.
i posted this a day or two ago with a twitter link to pics as proof but it didn't get approved. but it was in the segments where sami is speaking to rey fenix and carmelo before their matches, if you look there you'll see him.

El Grande Americano (Ludwig Kaiser) is the Speed Champion, not Chad Gable

  Draysin Martin · 5 days ago
  
  @Carter Berndt Chad Gable was the original El grande Americano which means he won the title besides when have we ever seen Ludwig Kaiser who Is the current On Screen Americano defend it?

  @Carter Berndt I already mentioned this. It's best we wait until Americano appears WITH the title.
