It seems quite implausible to seriously consider the possibility that Penta could defeat and dethrone Roman Reigns, particularly during a just an episode of Raw.

Even though this event is scheduled to take place in Mexico City, a location known for its energetic crowds, and it is sure to be a match of such significant caliber that is more suitable for a major Premium Live Event....

This is Roman Reigns we are talking about.

  @Wright Well, anything can happen. 946/OTM can interfere and cost Roman, and like what we saw with Vaquer beating Liv for the title at a live event, Penta can possibly dethrone Roman if that certain interference happens. Like I said, it's possible but not guaranteed.

  @Wright That’s reasonable but I feel like that they will do Roman vs Sami at crown jewel because of the history between them

Sami Zayn and Stephanie Vaquer getting their second reigns simultaneously was something I didn't expect. If it's the breath of fresh air finally coming to the champions, and especially Chelsea Green holding the championship, I'm just happy we're finally getting new champions. Hopefully Penta dethrones Roman Reigns.

These names should come off the active AAA roster: Chris Carter, Noisy Boy, Kento, Nobu San, Takuma, Andy Panda Jr., DMT Azul, Vampiro, Dinámico, Chessman, Cibernético, Black Andrómeda, Colmillo de Plata, Garra de Oro, Epydemius Jr., Dulce Kanela, Jessy Queen, Reina Dorada, Sussy Love, Jessy Jackson, Lady Maravilla, Aero Star, El Texano Jr., Negro Casas, El Mesías, and Monster Clown. Most of them are just multi-man filler, legends, or barely appear on the actual shows.

  @Roy Glad She Won, but I could've seen Roxxane Perez taking the title off of Liv, & a face turned is being heavily teased for Roxxane.

  @Maddie Lewis Thank God Anybody But Liv should've held that title, which makes me wonder why they took it off Vaquer in the first place.

Rhea Ripley has apparently vacated the title, and was last champion on August 2nd (I don't know if this is right, but I think it is)

  @Constance Affinito Would this mean that Chelsea Green is the real champion instead of the interim ?

  @Constance Affinito I think Rhea Ripley is still champion despite what WWE.com says because on Smackdown Chelsea Green was still referred to as interim champion rather than just the Womens Champion. Whoever runs the website might've botched it

I want to make an event that occurred on SmackDown perfectly clear. Candace LeRae and Johnny Gargano are NOT Heel. Despite hitting CM Punk with the Undisputed WWE Title, with Candace LeRae's distraction, it was only because it was a means to an end. Mr. Wrestling is in that title picture and feuding with CM Punk so despite the Heel-ish move, he and her are still Face's.

Keith Lee should still be listed on the AEW roster since there has been no confirmation from himself of being retired or not being under contract anymore etc its all speculation
