Frequently asked questions

Q1: Superstar A and Superstar B teamed up on Raw, but only team up every few weeks. Does this count as a tag team?

A1: No. A tag team is an active duo of wrestlers who tag-team regularly. A stable consists of more than two people, but doesn't necessarily need to consist of wrestlers.

Q2: Superstar C joined Superstars A and B to form a stable. Can I add Superstar C to the team?

A2: Yes, only if are officially stated via a WWE article.

Q3: Superstar A hasn't appeared on WWE television for a while. Can I add him as inactive?

A3: If Superstar A appeared on television less than 30 days ago, no don't add him as inactive. However if Superstar A appeared on television more than 30 days ago, then yes. Add the following line (edit as necessary): Inactive; last seen on WWE television on....

Q4: Superstar A appeared on ECW this past week even though he normally appears on Raw. Can I add him to the ECW roster?

A4: We follow WWE.com's superstar list, so therefore if he is still listed on Raw's roster on WWE.com, we should keep him there until they move him.

Edge Torn Triceps

You added that and the Giant Ninja to Raw but you cant take the Edge and Christian show off the pages of Edge and Christian whyyyyy

Please start signing your comments
The E & C stuff is now taken care of
Giant Ninja (Jordan Omogbehin) was already listed on the page under U.S. Performance Center recruits, all I did was move him to Raw after it became apparent he had been called up and repackaged with the ninja gimmick as Akira Tozawa's muscle (i.e. he's no longer a trainee/recruit).

Thank you - SBR — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.101.11.34 (talk) 06:15, 17 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Giant Ninja / Big Jordan

It seems premature to move him to Raw. Do we even have a name for the character yet? Is "Giant Ninja" official? (Also, the reference for the ringname is about his name being changed to "Big Jordan" last year and isn't relevant to support his listing as "Giant Ninja") IanPCP (talk) 23:51, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not premature at all...they repackaged him, debuted him on a PPV, appeared the next night on Raw, established him as Tozawa's enforcer, and brought Big Show out of mothballs to clearly set up a battle of the 7-footers. Vjmlhds (talk) 14:55, 17 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What's his ring name? IanPCP (talk) 20:45, 17 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sasha Banks

Just to make things clear, Sasha Banks - even though she is Raw Women's Champion - is an SD wrestler.

Because she is a Women's Tag Team Champion, she (and Bayley) and float around all the brands.

Vjmlhds (talk) 02:40, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Heyman

Regarding Paul Heyman...no need to have him switch brands.

Remember, he is an "agent", not a contracted "superstar", so he's not subject to the brand split.

Look at MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL...there are players scattered all over numerous teams that all have the same agent.

Same thing here.

Vjmlhds (talk) 18:07, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

He is listed as a raw talent, so raw. The agenMLB doesn't work, he is a hired talent by WWE, just like the others, not a real agent. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 18:34, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You missed the point of my original comment, I said there was no need to have him switch brands. My MLB/NFL/etc analogy was to show that an agent can have guys on different teams...same thing here, Heyman represents a guy on Raw, and now a guy on SD. Vjmlhds (talk) 20:47, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The move it's not needed. But again, not the right analogy since Heyman isn't a real agent, a kayfabe one instead. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 21:00, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Demi Burnett

Should we add Demi Burnett to Raw? She is involved in a storyline with Angel Garza and Ivar. I'm just wondering where to go on this one as she has appeared on Raw on multiple occasions.--Keith Okamoto (talk) 02:43, 1 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

NXT UK Roster

Hello there, Can't edit the page so just letting you know female superstar Amale's real name is Amale Dib, not Amale Winchester. Amale Winchester is the ringname she used a few year ago in the indies. Have a nice day!

Done. IanPCP (talk) 15:46, 19 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nigel McGuinness

Nigel McGuinness is back as the Color commentator on NXT UK. Can someone add him back? I would do it myself, but honestly, I'm sick of making edits on this page and having them undone. I figure someone can do it who knows how to do it correctly, and with the proper sources. Thanks. Stellar420 (talk) 00:56, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Vjmlhds (talk) 04:23, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Scarlett

Shouldn't Scarlett be listed under Other On Air Personnel, as she's never had a match in WWE and is only used as a manager. Same as Robert Stone, he was a wrestler before WWE, but WWE is purely using him as a manager and not wrestler. IanPCP (talk) 10:36, 19 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

She hasn't wrestled a match since 2019. I think other on air is her section. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 11:47, 19 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've moved her to the Other On Air section IanPCP (talk) 15:44, 19 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sukhwinder Grewal

What happened to Sukhwinder Grewal? I'm sure he was listed in the Performance Center roster before, and I can't find any news saying he's been released. IanPCP (talk) 10:37, 19 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I found nothing. Maybe it was never listed, just a mistake. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 11:56, 19 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've added him (as well as Gurvinder Singh and Laxmi Rajpoot) with a reference to the wwe.com article touting their signings. I'm sure I listed them on the page at the time, but I could be mistaken. Anyway, they're on the page now. If they have been released, and anyone has a reliable source to indicate this, please post it here. IanPCP (talk) 15:45, 19 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I made a quick research in several months (august, june, march, january) but looks like they weren't listed. You're right, there is no source about them leaving WWE, as far as I know. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 16:14, 19 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Kane as Mayor

Surely having this mentioned is unnecessary? Even if it's acknowledged on WWE TV, do we need to list everyone's other jobs on roster lists? For instance, we wouldn't have "Chris Jericho, frontman of Fozzy" as it's extra info that's best suited to their individual page, instead of this list. IanPCP (talk) 09:29, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think it helps explain his part-time status, and why he's rarely seen anymore. That's the relevance. oknazevad (talk) 14:43, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Just stating he's the Mayor doesn't actually specify he's part time though. There's no context given to the statement. IanPCP (talk) 16:07, 2 October 2020 (UTC,

I had a note stating that he was inactive due to his mayoral duties, but for some reason Galatz took exception to it, stating that the note needed a reference, and removed it. Not singling anyone out, but I really do think unless every other word has a reference with it, some editors just feel the need to either slap a citation on the whole article or blindly remove things, just so they can play "smartest guy in the room" and cite WP:This, and WP:That. Vjmlhds (talk) 03:11, 3 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

With all due respect, that's irrelevant to the matter as it currently stands; which is: do we need a statement that just says Kane is Mayor, without any further context? IanPCP (talk) 11:46, 3 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'd re-add the "inactive" note...he's technically part of the roster, but he's kinda busy with this other thing right now. I will re-add it, but if it gets taken down again, just know who and why. Vjmlhds (talk) 14:09, 3 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Goldberg is part time and wrestles 2 matches per year, as per his contract yet he gets no notes. When Undertaker for years was making 2-3 appearances a year there was no need for a note. You know nothing about Kane's contract. The man is 53 years old, perhaps he would have a part time contract anyway. How many 53 year olds are wrestling full time? You are drawing a conclusion that being mayor is the sole reason for his part time status, which is a clear WP:BLP violation. - Galatz גאליץ ^{שיחה Talk} 12:19, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Arturo Ruas & Dabba-Kato

Arturo Ruas & Dabba-Kato are both listed on the NXT brand here but appear on Raw Underground and also both of them are part of this year's draft as WWE's official website. Do we wait until Monday to move them when we see if they get drafted to SmackDown Live and officially move them to Raw if they get drafted by Raw? - 2A02:C7F:C283:C100:241F:6D37:B94:CAC3 (talk) 10:44, 11 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

May as well wait. No rush. IanPCP (talk) 23:25, 11 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly, they're both in Monday's draft pool, so let's just see what happens and go from there. Vjmlhds (talk) 00:42, 12 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Andrade & Mickie James

Surely they should be in "Unassigned" as they are "free agents" following the Draft? IanPCP (talk) 12:05, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be fine with that until they find a home. Vjmlhds (talk) 14:38, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Eva Marie

Can you please remove Eva Marie from the unassigned roster, as there has been no confirmation from WWE or any other reliable source indicating that she has actually re-signed with WWE. For now, rumours of her return or just that, rumours.
