The score
Seven factors, none derivable from a record: in-ring, psychology, selling, uplift, peak, catalog, big-match.
Six factors — mic, character, X-factor, crowd, draw, crossover. Only draw is read from the record.

Championships
| Championship | Promotion | Reigns |
|---|---|---|
| World Tag Team Championship | WWE | 2 |
| TNA Digital Media Championship | TNA | 1 |
| WWE Intercontinental Championship | WWE | 1 |
| WWE United States Championship | WWE | 1 |
The ledger in hand covers WWE, AEW and TNA. Reigns in the NWA, WCW, the AWA, New Japan, All Japan, NOAH and elsewhere are not listed here — but they are counted in the world-title standing above, from an editorial table. That asymmetry is the data's, and pretending otherwise would be worse than admitting it.
