view · edit 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.

Wrong Amari Miller listed

Hello there,

When I hover over the entry named Amari Miller, it shows that the subject is an English professional footballer, which she is not. Please correct it asap. Thank you. 188.236.79.209 (talk) 12:51, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

They should be redlinked until an article is created for them under Amiri Miller (wrestler). Just because an article exists for a wrestler's gimmick name doesn't mean that the article should be linked to them as otherwise you get problems like Amiri Miller in List of WWE personnel being linking to a male English professional footballer or Loch Ness (Martin Ruane) getting linking to Scotland's Loch Ness because someone didn't add (wrestler) to Loch Ness when talking about the wrestler. There is also an American actress called Amiri Miller. But Amiri Miller isn't the only where the female wrestler who needs an article page as Arianna Grace links to her father's wiki. Elektra Lopez still links to the Legado Del Fantasima page even Lopez stopped being a member when Santos, Toro & Wilde moved to SmackDown where they aligned with Zelina Vega. 2A02:C7C:53C1:E00:A849:F8A0:C3A9:B9A5 (talk) 09:57, 31 May 2023 (UTC)

CM Punk is a Free Agent - Unbranded (November 2023)

Please move CM Punk to the nonexclusive section. As of November 29th 2023, he is not listed on WWE.com's roster page as RAW or Smackdown (filter the page for those brands for confirmation). He only appears on the Current Superstar page and looking at his profile, he has no brand assigned. Just because he appeared on the November 27th episode of RAW, does not make him part of that brand. Please wait until WWE gives confirmation of his brand assignment before doing so on here.

ROSTER PAGE: https://www.wwe.com/superstars (CM Punk appears - As a free agent) CM PUNK PAGE: https://www.wwe.com/superstars/cmpunk (No brand assigned)

This should bring some clarity to things. According to SI, the plan is to have Punk on Raw and have him feud with Rollins, and the report specifically states Punk will be on Raw (at least for awhile) because WWE wants to load it up to score a big TV deal (as the Raw contract with USA ends in October 2024). Vjmlhds (talk) 23:23, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

The article says "The plan is...." meaning that this what they want to do but at this time, he's not internally listed as RAW or Smackdown. If WWE have him listed as a free agent right now, as they do on their official website, that is what this page should reflect. When the time comes for him to list him as a RAW superstar, this page can show that. Punk's main wiki article does not say he is RAW or Smackdown, which is correct. https://en.wikipedia.org/CM_Punk — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.97.236.62 (talk) 16:10, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

WWE is WWE. Why do we care about in-universe stuff of this level? It's not like the Raw and Smackdown brands run separate house shows anymore. oknazevad (talk) 16:31, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

He belongs in the free agent list. Neither of the sources VJ listed say he is a Raw superstar. They said he is "expected to be at RAW" for RAW. If I were to venture a guess, he'll end up a RAW superstar -- Orton was shuttled to Smackdown. That being said, we've always followed to WWE roster and if he's listed as a free agent, that's where he should be. And from now on, can we try and NOT take the sources out of context? Kjscotte34 (talk) 18:08, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

Well WWE did make it clear tonight that he is a free agent, so that clears that up at least for now. Vjmlhds (talk) 04:34, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

It was always clear. Until the WWE's roster page is updated or there's an explicit on screen announcement of a brand switch, no one should be switched based on rumor or speculation, even from outside sources (because they're all dirtsheets to some extent or another). And it certainly should never be based on an editor assuming "it's obvious because he showed up on this one episode of this one show". Even if someone entrees into a multi week program on a given show, they may just be visiting, not a roster transfer. We should never move someone based on drawing conclusions ourselves. Ever.

Though again, the whole brand assignment thing is overblown and I really don't see the need to identify brands constantly. Especially in the lead of a wrestler's article. That one really grates on my nerves. WWE main roster brands are not separate promotions in any way, and should not be treated like they are. A wrestler's article should only identify the company they're signed with in the lead. The brand can be left to the body. Only NXT needs to be set off because it actually operates semi-independently.

And we really need to avoid the in-universe "free agent" descriptor. CM Punk is not actually a free agent capable of showing up anywhere. He most certainly won't be on Dynamite this week (even if TK wanted him back). Nor will he be on Impact. Because he cannot. He is under exclusive contract to WWE. He's not a free agent in real life. He's just unassigned to one of the two internal rosters, which time and again have been shown to be easily set aside as needed by the company. oknazevad (talk) 05:23, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
