    Improved Ranking Display

    Rankings Page

    The wrestler ranking screen has been significantly upgraded:

    • Top 3 wrestlers are now visually highlighted so you can immediately see who's leading your roster.
    • The rankings table has been redesigned for better readability with clearer row separation and typography.
    • You can now tap any wrestler in the rankings to jump straight into their profile - no more hunting through menus.

    Redesigned Rivalry Page

    The Rivalry page has been updated to match the look and feel of the rest of the game. Expect a cleaner layout, better contrast, and more intuitive information hierarchy. We've also added a "History" view for rivalries, so you can now preview all segments and matches that took place as part of a feud.


    New Welcome Pop-Up

    Welcome Pop-Up

    We've added a Welcome Pop-Up for new and returning players. It's designed to:

    • Encourage you to share your feedback - every message helps us improve the game.
    • Introduce our Ko-fi support page for anyone who wants to buy us a coffee.
    • Make it easy to find us on Facebook, Twitter/X, YouTube, and the Dev Blog so you never miss an update.

    Updated Championship Page

    Championship Page

    The Championship page now presents Top Champions with a visual podium-style display and an improved table ranking showing reigns, defenses, and a full Reign History timeline.


    Tag Teams & Stables - New Feature!

    Tag Teams & Stables

    We've introduced the Teams concept to the game! Players can now:

    • Create Tag Teams and Stables from your roster.
    • Adding wrestlers to a tag team or stable begins generating tag team experience, which will be used in future updates to add bonuses to match ratings and improve win chances.
    • When match results are announced, the team name is displayed instead of individual wrestler names.

    Team Detail

    Each team has a dedicated detail page showing members, history, titles held, and experience progression.


    Updated AI Federations

    AI Federation Details

    Several improvements and fixes for AI Federations:

    • Additional interaction methods have been added, giving you more ways to engage with rival promotions.
    • Players can now view results of AI historic shows directly from the federation page.
    • Fixed an issue where AI Federations wouldn't book any promos or segments.
    • Fixed an issue where new AI Federations were not being created randomly throughout the game.

    Diversified Show Segments

    Segments have been updated with more variety. You can now run each segment type for a single wrestler or a tag team, giving you much more creative flexibility when booking your shows.


    Updated Game Dashboard

    Game Dashboard

    The main dashboard has received visual updates including fixed alignment icons in the menu. We've also added two new menu items - Rumble Feed and Staff - which will be coming soon!


    UI & UX Fixes

    • Updated the secondary button colour from purple to light blue for better consistency.
    • Fixed the back button incorrectly routing to the main dashboard instead of the previous page.
    • Fixed alignment issues in the match results pop-up.

    Match Results

    • Fixed an issue where upgrading merchandising level to 4 & 5 would result in $0 merchandising sales.
