Hello, I am planning on reviewing this article for GA Status, over the next couple of days. Thank you for nominating the article for GA status. I hope I will learn some new information, and that my feedback is helpful.

If nominators or editors could refrain from updating the particular section that I am updating until it is complete, I would appreciate it to remove a edit conflict. Please address concerns in the section that has been completed above (If I've raised concerns up to references, feel free to comment on things like the lede.)

I generally provide an overview of things I read through the article on a first glance. Then do a thorough sweep of the article after the feedback is addressed. After this, I will present the pass/failure. I will use strikethrough tags when concerns are met. Even if something is obvious why my concern is met, please leave a message as courtesy.

Best of luck! you can also use the {{done}} tag to state when something is addressed. Lee Vilenski ^{( talk • contribs)} 11:18, 21 February 2018 (UTC) reply

Please let me know after the review is done, if you were happy with the review! Obviously this is regarding the article's quality, however, I want to be happy and civil to all, so let me know if I have done a good job, regardless of the article's outcome.

A record second title reign? Embelishment. Sure, technically it's a record because no one had held it more than once, but to call it a record second title reign is over-the-top. Second reign is plenty. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{( talk • contribs)} 07:31, 17 June 2019 (UTC) reply

Disagree with the change of this. At this time, wrestlers could only appear on one brand. John Cena, however, could appear on both as a "free agent". -- JDC808 ♫ 07:56, 17 June 2019 (UTC) reply

That's not what I'm calling an issue. The issue is, that he wasn't a free agent, he was a contracted employee (well, as close as you can be in wrestling). In kayfabe, he was free to compete for both brands, and called a free agent. However, in sports a free agent is someone who is yet to sign a contract, and cannot compete for any club. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{( talk • contribs)} 09:15, 17 June 2019 (UTC) reply

Agree. the free agent is written In-universe. Cena is under contract with WWE, a no-wrestling fan would think he is a real free agent, like Minoru Suzuki in NJPW. A note is required (WWE calls their unassigned taletn free agent or something like that) -- HHH Pedrigree ( talk) 14:15, 17 June 2019 (UTC) reply

• On the October 29 episode of Raw, Acting General Manager Baron Corbin replaced Cena with Bobby Lashley after praising Lashley's post-match beat down of Finn Bálor earlier that night - Couple things - How can he just replace him?

• During the pre-show, Shinsuke Nakamura defended the United States Championship against Rusev. After connecting with a "Matchka Kick" early in the match, Rusev applied his "Accolade" submission hold twice on the champion. In the climax, following a low blow to break free from the "Accolade", Nakamura performed the "Kinshasa" on Rusev to retain the title - move names gallore here.
