I updated a bunch of images on the WWE roster page! I bet the improvements will be immediately noticeable

I also want to add that in the background, I’ve been updating card positions/images for a lot of our older profiles. For an extended list of who I did:
- All 4 members of the Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Kyle O’Reilly, Bobby Fish, Roderick Strong)
- Christopher Daniels
- The Fabulous Moolah
- Trevor Murdoch & Lance Cade
- Vader
- Wendi Richter
- Test
- MJF
- Swerve Strickland
- Ricochet
- Matt Riddle
- Giant Gonzalez
- Keith Lee!!!

Be sure to check out these profiles when you can!

  @Andy thanks for doing that, i was hoping for this one day, it looks great and the positions are pretty accurate too i’d say
  only issue i’ll raise is kris stat in upper card, imo it should either just be thekla alone cause there’s not really one designated woman she’s feuding with, or stat/shida/jamie all upper card because they’re all in the title match at the ppv
  also if anna jay is inactive kamille should be inactive too

Becky Lynch, Roman Reigns and Sheamus are in need of higher quality renders. Romans' in particular bothers me.

  @Wright I agree because they are definitely out of date especially Roman Reigns but I do disagree about Becky lynch because I think it’s good for now.

I feel like both AEW/ROH, and WWE/AAA should both be linked together as rosters. Like AAA should be a roster on the WWE page, and ROH should be a roster on the AEW page.

  Jey zeen · 3 days ago
  
  @Davey Castegnaro I respectfully disagree ROH and AAA are still considered separate promotions rather than brands with different rosters and ecosystems despite being owned by bigger promotions

  @Davey Castegnaro i wouldn't be against this for ROH/AEW because there is much less of a divide between those rosters but would disagree with AAA/WWE where they mostly remain distinct outside of a few wrestlers.
