WWE’s website roster page has long served as an unofficial barometer for a performer’s standing with the company, with a shift from “current superstar” to “alumni” typically signaling the end of someone’s run. But a look at the current active roster listing shows several names who haven’t been seen on WWE programming in years, or who are actively working under entirely different gimmicks, still sitting on the main page.
The most eye-catching example is Shane McMahon, who hasn’t appeared for WWE since WrestleMania 39 and reportedly held discussions with AEW’s Tony Khan back in 2024. Shane-O-Mac’s continued presence on the roster page raises obvious questions about his actual status, since those talks with a rival promotion would be an unusual thing to pursue while still formally tied to WWE. It’s entirely possible the listing is simply an oversight that never got cleaned up.
Tamina presents a similar puzzle. Her last in-ring appearance came all the way back in February 2023, a loss to Michin on a Main Event taping, yet she remained under contract as recently as July 2025 according to a prior Fightful Select report. With no update since then, her roster page listing is technically accurate for now, but it underscores just how long a signed talent can go without being used.
Maryse is a slightly different case. She’s popped up sporadically in recent years, most notably during Danhausen’s invasion of The Miz’s home back in April, but she hasn’t wrestled in nearly five years. Given her connection to The Miz, who remains an active performer, her continued affiliation with the company isn’t surprising, even if her active-roster status seems like a stretch.
Then there’s the stranger wrinkle involving Ludwig Kaiser, Pete Dunne, and Tyler Bate, all three of whom are still listed under their real identities despite now working exclusively as El Grande Americano, Rayo Americano, and Brave Americano, respectively. The Lucha House Party-style masked trio gimmick has clearly found traction, and there’s little reason to think WWE plans to unmask any of them soon, which makes the outdated individual profiles feel like a simple housekeeping miss rather than a storyline tease.
Finally, Keanu Carver’s listing stands out for a very different reason. Carver was reportedly let go by WWE in early October after being served with an order of protection related to an alleged situation involving an unnamed member of the NXT roster. He hasn’t appeared on WWE television since that report surfaced, and if his release is accurate, his continued presence as a “current superstar” on the site is likely just a matter of the page not yet being updated.
None of this is necessarily a sign of secret storyline plans or under-the-radar re-signings. Roster pages are maintained by web teams, not creative, and lag behind real-world status changes all the time. But the list is a useful reminder of how much roster turnover and character reinvention has happened over the past few years, and how many stories, from Shane McMahon’s murky future to the ongoing Americano trio experiment, are still waiting for the company’s own website to catch up.
