  @Rastin Are you sure? Just double checked and pretty certain he's still only aligned with them. If you can provide a date of the episode or a source that says he's part of them then it'd be easier to update

Are we just going to ignore that all the United empire members are face Callum Newman, HENARE, & Great O-Khan should be face and Jeff Cobb had a turn on November 5th 2023 as a face and then turned heel when he made his WWE debut all of those guys should be face from November 5th 2023

Did a massive update to Randy Savage's profile! Updated his timeline photos (13 new pics), manager timeline, and did card positions of him spanning 1985 to 2000 (plus his small TNA run)

Add 'Bayley & Lyra Valkyria' to the Teams section. After teaming up for one-off matches earlier in the year, Bayley and Lyra have been booked as a tag team since Bayley returned with her split personality character back in September and have only faced other tag wrestlers in tag or singles matches since then, even main eventing Raw in a tag title match against Alexa and Charlotte back in October. Considering Lash and Nia, who haven't tagged together outside of WarGames, are on the Teams page, Bayley & Lyra should definitely be there.
