I may be incorrect about this, but The Usos and Jacob Fatu are tweeners or possibly faces, I know they're aligned with Roman but they themselves aren't acting like heels right now, they have been targets of 946 (a heel faction) for the past few weeks.

I do not think American Made is still a team because the Creed Brothers are on NXT and Ivy Nile is rumored to have a tag team with Jordynne Grace

  @Haley McCrary Roxxane Perez, We have seen the teasers of her separating from Judgement Day. I had a vision of what it looked like for her push, & it's all coming into play, entered for a Qualifier, win that, & on raw I didn't see it but It was either teased that we are getting a triple threat between Liv, stephanie, & Becky, or it was confirmed. and if that happens, I see Roxxane cashing in & winning the title & this will separate her from judgement day.

I really like where WWE is going with 946. Besides 946, what is the best storyline going on right now in your guys opinion?

  Draysin Martin · 3 days ago
  
  @Jackson Conley The storyline that will lead to Roxxane Perez leaving the judgement day. Roxxane looks like she does not want ot be in judgement day anymore. there were sreports saying Roxxane will eventually leave the Judgement Day & be pushed as a singles star. And I have a way of booking her leaving the group & having a feud with Liv Morgan.

  @Jackson Conley i do hope they tease the downfall of the judgment day, as well as the vision, those two factions have been really tiring to watch

  @Roy Sometimes I like to see the vision, but the judgment day has been around since 2022. Just end it.

Maybe is my opinion but I think it would be nice if you guys added up the mixed tag teams in AAA as also a part of the tag teams/stables section in the wrestlers profile. Mostly because a lot of the times these tag teams also have a longevity and sometimes even history on AAA

Ilja Dragunov is also inactive since he's officially signed.
