Aj Styles and Dragon Lee won world tag titles and seth vacated the title. I do not know why they are making the storyline with the world heavyweight championship the same way as the womens world title storyline like Iyo Sky was the previous title holder before naomi and then cm punk was the previous world heavyweight champion before seth and then they had stephanie vs iyo at wrestlepalooza and then they are going to make jey uso vs cm punk at saturday's night main event, wwe has been off lately.

  @Constance Affinito Well I think he's technically under contract with NXT because there was Video I saw of Pro Wrestling Noah that featured Inamura tagging with Harlem lewis as team NXT vs. Kenta and another Wrestler

Kendal Gray is mid-card, if Niko Vance is Low-Card, then Shawn Spears (sadly) should be too, recently Josh Briggs has kind of been an Upper-Card, AJ Lee and Nikki Bella are part-time for sure, Seth is FOR REAL injured, Maxxine Dupri has been like a mid-card, Santos Escobar I still inactive, Brock Lesnar is inactive, and apparently Jeff Hardy also got injured (sorry its a lot)

I know Baron Corbin got released a long time ago but I refuse to think he was a low carder, I would say starting from when he saved Apollo crews he became a mid carder until September 2024, so update that because Baron Corbin has had some tag team matches like once every 2 weeks and I don’t think he was a low carder

just a suggestion, i think you should make a page for brand swaps so on the page it shows the superstar and brands they moved from and joined, so like what you do with the face and heels changes but with brands so with ilja hes just changed from raw to smackdown that could possibly go on a separate page so its easier to see?

as i said a few days ago, the next time DIY appeared on smackdown, they would be heels as if nothing happened on NXT. and i was correct, they are still heels. their being faces was a one-off for an NXT special.
