Can someone add the WWE ID Wrestlers & Schools in the WWE Personnel page? Bread1940 (talk) 23:13, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why does Candice LeRae have her birth surname (Dawson) and not Gargano despite LeRae being married to Johnny Gargano in real life? Every other female in wrestling who is married has the surname of their husband. - 2A02:C7C:FAD9:7A00:9557:E98C:1D5C:C504 (talk) 23:07, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Some women keep their maiden name, others take their husband's name. Been like that forever, and not just in wrestling, but life in general. Vjmlhds (talk) 23:17, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Up until Mann Mann did some edits in 2023 Candice LeRae was displaying Candice LeRae Gargano (née Dawson) in her article. Why was her married surname removed? - 2A02:C7C:FAD9:7A00:C538:4BE4:F138:7CAB (talk) 11:36, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Becky Lynch should be in Unexclusive if reports that she signed a new contract are true.

"On January 7, 2025, it was confirmed by Fightful that Lynch had signed a new contract with WWE" though we have only have a link from Wrestlezoneand a deadlink from Bleacher Report to go on from her Wikipedia article. But there is this article from Fightful dated January 18, 2025 that mentions that Becky is under WWE contract. - 2A02:C7C:FAD9:7A00:1939:712B:E988:9FFE (talk) 09:49, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Just some advice - WrestleZone and Bleacher Report are deemed unreliable so please don't refer to them. Fightful on the other hand is a reliable source, but it would be better for Becky to stay where she is on WP until we get something more substantive.

A new member of RAW. 5.165.124.224 (talk) 09:20, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No. We are not adding a second entry for the same guy based on a single storyline. oknazevad (talk) 10:20, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

We? Why are you speaking for everyone?

El Grande Americano is a new person. He must be added to the article. 5.165.120.76 (talk) 07:02, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Prove it with a source. Addicted4517 (talk) 08:02, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

He is listed as as an alternative for Chad gable but i cant find a source to proove that that is the case. i say we just remove elgrande Americano from the list until somone procides a citation either way. ~~ 95.152.219.34 (talk) 15:21, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The Rock has stated that Tamina has signed a legends deal... no need to keep her in the unsigned list! Jstar367 (talk) 03:05, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Source? --Miki1234568 (talk) 11:21, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Working on finding the specific interview Jstar367 (talk) 22:00, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Make sure it is in a reliable source. Check against the list here. Addicted4517 (talk) 08:36, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Kamala and Crush have been signed to posthumous Legends deals. This seems to be something WWE will continue doing. I added them with a "Posthumous" tag but someone deleted them making the point that they can't be ambassadors since they're dead. While it's true that they can't literally be ambassadors, they are signed. Most of the people listed as ambassadors I have not seen make any appearances with WWE in this decade. For the most part, a Legends deal seems to be like a holding deal or a way to help older wrestlers financially. For this reason, I think the posthumous legends should be listed. Should there be a separate section for posthumous Legends or should they not be listed at all? MrBlondNYC (talk) 19:18, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

isnt Bray signed to one as well? Jstar367 (talk) 21:56, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes he is. MrBlondNYC (talk) 02:59, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

On April 19, 2025, WWE, through its ownership group TKO Group Holdings (majority owned by Endeavor) in partnership with Mexican-based sports and entertainment group Fillip announced that it had acquired AAA as part of its global expansion strategy. The acquisition is expected to close in the third quarter of 2025.

In 2025, it was announced that AAA would be partnering with WWE (in particular their NXT brand). WWE would later acquire AAA.

Where does AAA fit into the List of WWE personnel article? Does this mean AAA people can appear on WWE and vise versa? - 2A02:C7C:FAD9:7A00:4439:878F:524A:984E (talk) 07:35, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

We don't know yet. The purchase doesn't officially close for a couple more months (and there's always the possibility, albeit unlikely) it gets cancelled), and reports are the way the deal is structured WWE/TKO is getting a narrow majority stake, not making AAA an outright wholly owned subsidiary, so AAA contracted wrestlers would be contracted to AAA, not WWE, unlike main roster and development contract (NXT) signed talent.

According to various reports, only about a dozen people are outright signed to AAA anyway, with most wrestlers working AAA shows being freelancers or on some sort of per-appearance deal that might only be a handshake. There have been tweets from noted lucha libre journalists that those dozen have been given new reworked contracts that include revisions in line with what WWE contracts contain, but are still contracts with AAA

As for AAA wrestlers appearing on WWE shows or vice versa, that's something already done in the working agreement WWE has with TNA, and the one TNA has with AAA. For example, Vikingo was in the Ultimate X match at TNA Rebellion, and appeared at WrestleMania 41, as did Joe Hendry. That doesn't make AAA personnel TNA personnel, not does it make either of them WWE personnel. (Same with AEW, NJPW, and CMLL all having working agreements with each other. They're still distinct rosters.)

Now the AAA situation may turn out a bit different because WWE/TKO is gaining a majority ownership, and apparently some level of creative control, but for now AAA's roster is separate. oknazevad (talk) 08:48, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
