  @Ben Dover Okay that one I can fully agree with he's calling the United Empire "his" faction & he's having some troubles now that Will Ospreay is back in NJPW however Andrade is still tweener due to not wanting to beat up Darby Allin with the Don Callis Family, & Jake Lee is just there and everybody else is face because of Ospreay

  @Ben Dover because every single member of the faction has been acting more face than heel the only one's who are exceptions are Andrade & Callum Newman Andrade has been acting Heel in AEW due to being apart of The Don Callis Family & Callum Newman was thinking about attacking will ospreay with a chair but Great O-khan & HENARE told him not to do it but based on those both men feel like tweeners and as for the Other members they are face

  @Ben Dover Francesco Akira, Jake Lee, & JAY have all been acting face after Will Ospreay's departure from NJPW in 2024 to carry on his NJPW legacy and Ospreay returned to NJPW at New Year's Dash saying after he finishes up in AEW he will be returning to NJPW to finish up some "Business"
