Just like the WWE fare. You can edit your roster every Monday up til 7pm. Your team will carry you through the entire week. "Superstars" debuting on Thursday April 16th will count starting this season in the scoring. Saturday night's main event will count too when aired. Everything televised basically counts except something like the Hall of fame or a Slammy Ceremonies.

NOTE: on the rare occasion that Saturday Night's main event airs, it'll be scored like a RAW or Smackdown
SCORING DETAILS -
APPEARANCES:
A Superstar will be awarded appearance points for each segment he/she appears on during the televised event.
A segment is defined as the time period that begins when the WWE show comes back from commercial (or starts) and continues until the time the WWE show goes to commercial (or ends).
Appearances that are broken up by commercial breaks that occur during a match will not count as two separate appearances for anyone involved in the segment, including backstage.
Simply being on TV constitutes an "appearance,". For example, if Eve is backstage interviewing Cena. Both Eve and Cena will be awarded points. Of course, this only applies to interviewers in the fantasy game. The only exception is if we see a guy accidentally get caught on camera in a non creative role. But we'll make that ruling when the time comes
Only action from the day of the event will count towards appearance points. Prior appearances will not count. This includes flashbacks to prior days or weeks, video of a previously unaired event that happened on a prior day(Something that has nothing to do with the show like JBL appearing at a Republicans convention), pay-per-view promotions, commercials, match graphics, show openers, and still images.
However, retroactive points WILL be awarded if an off air exclusive from a scored show gets aired on a scored show. Most recent. Example: Batista beat up Bret for an appearance on Raw. Cena came in for his own set of appearances to save Bret. Then RAW went off the air. Then on ECW, there was an exclusive package from Raw, when it went off the air, of Batista attacking Cena and getting in 3 objects and a finisher. In this case, since the exclusive was from RAW and RAW is a scoring show a scoring show, and it aired on ECW, which at the time was another scoring show, both Cena and Batista were awarded another set of appearances points, as well as Batista earning object and finisher points. This can also happen if it's aired on a new week. Like if it happens on a PPV but airs on RAW(a new week). If you had the guy from that PPV week ON the PPV week, the points will be awarded retroactively. That's why I ask you to keep up your previous teams. This is a rare case, but it does occasionally occur
The last notice is about the vignette's and tribute packages. This gets scored as if it was an appearance. So if a vignette or package is aired and the guy that was being aired appears on tv immediately afterwards, with no commercial break in between, the appearance points still count as one. But if the package is shown, then we go to commercial, and the guy appears on tv, he will get 2 sets of appearance points. Vignettes and video packages only get scored once for the week regardless how many times it was shown.
Example on this, most of the NXT guys have been getting packages and appearing right after before commercial, so it hasn't affected the appearances. But if they get a package and a commercial occurs before their next appearance, they'll get awarded a seperate set of points.
One more thing about this, so we know there's no loopholes. If a package appears one day, along with a live appearance BEFORE a commercial, it only gets scored as one appearance, as I've mentioned above. But if that happens, the video is not exempt from getting scored if it appears again later in the show or later that week. The nutshell rule to remember is the package MUST be aired on it's own, with no other appearances before the commercial break, to get scored.. So, it all depends on how or when the package airs.
MATCHES:
Matches are scored only when a Superstar is ruled a competitor in a match. Any other Superstar who appears during a match will earn appearance points, but will not earn match points.
Appearances by managers, Divas and others ringside will be scored as appearances, not matches.
In the event of a "no-decision" finish, the Superstars who participated in the match will earn match points, but neither will be credited with a win.
SPECIALTY MATCHES:
A Superstar is awarded an additional 3 points for competing in a designated Specialty Match (i.e. Steel Cage Match).
A Superstar is awarded an additional 5 points for winning a designated Specialty Match.
Scroll down to check out a comprehensive list of designated Specialty matches.
ELIMINATING AN OPPONENT:
A Superstar is awarded 2 points for eliminating an opponent in a match with elimination rules. Elimination matches include (but are not limited to) Battle Royals, Royal Rumble, Classic Survivor Series Elimination Matches and Fatal Four Way Elimination Matches.
FINISHER MOVE (EXECUTED/LOCKED-IN):
A Superstar is awarded 1 point any time he/she executes/locks-in one of his/her signature moves.
Scroll down to view each Superstar's trademark Signature Move(s).
FINISHER MOVE VICTORY:
A Superstar is awarded 4 additional points when his/her finisher move directly leads to victory in a match (i.e. pinfall or submission). It doesn't matter how it occurs. In a simple 1 on 1, if a finisher is hit and leads to a pinfall, that's self explanitory. However, in intricate situations, it's detailed like this,
Say there's a match where there are more than 2 superstars involved, such as a triple threat. The finisher victory only counts for the man who delivered the finisher on the man who gets pinned. So if Triple H, Randy Orton, and Batista had a triple threat and triple H hit Randy Orton with a sledgehammer and then pedigreed Batista, he would only get the finisher win if he pinned Batista. It doesn't matter what order it occured in as long as the finisher was the last offensive move on the guy who was pinned. Had triple H pinned Randy ORton, he wouldn't get the finisher win since the pedigree was hit on Batista. Now, say if Triple hit the pedigree on Batista and Orton throws Triple H out of the ring and pins Batista, Triple H would STILL be awarded the finisher victory, even though he did not make the pinfall. This applies to run ins for guys who were'nt apart of the match as well. A superstar does NOT have to be apart of a match to earn finisher victory points, just as long as his finisher leads to whoever and whatever victory it is
SIGNATURE MOVE ESCAPE:
Each time a Superstar escapes a pinning predicament directly after being hit with his/her opponent's Signature Move, he/she is awarded 3 points.
Each time a Superstar escapes a submission signature move, he/she is awarded 3 points.
Simply blocking a signature move attempt (before it is executed/locked-in) does NOT constitute a Signature Move Escape.
Signature Move Escape points can only be awarded within the context of a match. And just like finisher victories, a superstar can be awarded finisher escape points if he kicks out of a finisher delivered by a superstar who was NOT a participant in the match, like receiving the finisher behind the refs back and kicking out
FINAL MATCH:
Each time a Superstar competes in the final match of an event, he/she is awarded an additional 3 points. This only applies to participants, not anyone else at ringside or shown backstage
FOREIGN OBJECT USE:
A Superstar will be awarded foreign object points each time he/she is successful in using a foreign object. Foreign objects include (but are not limited to) chairs, chains, bricks, 2x4s, car parts, powder, salt and the announcers' table. Objects do not count if a superstar uses the object on themselves
Simply swinging a chair or throwing an object without connecting does not count as foreign object use. The object must connect. Also the object must cause harm or humiliation. In other words, if divas are running around and squirting eachother with water guns for fun, it won't count. Those situations will be determined at the time and place
Objects that are considered part of the ring area, in most cases, will not earn foreign object points.
Objects that are considered part of a stipulation match (i.e. a ladder in a Ladder Match), in most cases, will not earn foreign object points.
Scroll down to check out the comprehensive foreign object breakdown for more info
DISQUALIFICATION:
An official disqualification from a match, regardless of the cause, will result in a deduction of 4 points.
SUSPENSION or FIRING:
An official suspension results in a deduction of 10 points. For an official suspension to be awarded, a Superstar must be suspended from action (for personal, medical, behavioral or any other reason) by an authorized WWE official (i.e. Mr. McMahon or their brand's General Manager). Being forced to leave a brand due to match loss DOES NOT constitute a suspension. A suspension or firing MUST take place on a scoring show for the superstars' points to be deducted. Being suspended in real life or on WWE.com does not count
A Superstar may still receive Fantasy points (appearance points, etc.) while officially on suspension. Like if he breaks into the arena

NOTE: Regular tag-team, six-man and eight-man tag matches will not count as Specialty Matches. Basically anything that doesn't have standard match rules is a specialty. For example, Lita faced Mickie James and Mickie had 1 arm tied behind her back. That instantly became a specialty match because it wasn't standard 1 on 1 anymore. The only 2 on 2 or 3 on 3 tag matches that count as specialties are mixed tag matches. If the women are only allowed to wrestled the women and the men are only allowed to wrestle the men. However, if the women are allowed to be in the ring with the men, it remains a regulation match since it's a standard tag match, just different genders.

* Concrete arena stairs
* Entrance ramp
* Entrance set
* The arena floor
* Anything used that DID NOT inflict physical pain. Example: Scissors used only to cut a Superstar's hair.
Objects that count or do not count in specialties.
Object shots are inherent in any no holds barred/extreme/streetfight/Last man standing matches. But in matches like ladder matches, the ladder is only inherent but every other object will count. Same goes for matches like a last ride match. Only the hearse doesn't count as an object shot. Basically, any specialty with an object title in the name will instantly become inherent to scoring. So if it's a TLC match, Tables, ladders and Chairs won't count for object shots but any other object like ramming the opponents head into the announce table or choking him with a cord WILL count. As mentioned before, any match that's extreme and doesn't have a specifically promoted object in the title, will just cancel out object scoring in the match. Now a PPV like "extreme rules". If the match is simply just "extreme rules" objects won't count. SO, say at the extreme rules PPV, if it's a straight up extreme rules, hardcore, no holds barred, objects won't count since it promotes the use of any object. if a match is "extreme rules ladder match" it'll still be scored like a ladder match(any object counts but the ladder) because those matches are already extreme rules as is. It all depends on if an object is in the title. That's why Hell in a Cell matches are virtually the highest scoring matches in the game.
Once again, these object rules only apply to the actual match participants. For example, if Edge was facing Chris Jericho in a no holds barred match, they wouldn't get scored for object use. But if CM Punk did a run in using an object, he would get awarded points for every object use
Lastly, here's a complete breakdown of how each superstar is priced(this is what I moved from the game/salary thread)
.5 mils - rodents animals, midgets, Big hot dog Johnson
1 mils - 1 mils are either managers, GMs, or anyone that never gets in a ring unless it's part of a storyline to screw the manager over and just have a face or heel kill him for fun one night. The only way a guy drops to 1 mil is if he's basically non-existent in the company to the point where if there wasn't a WWE superstar page you would have sworn the guy was gone. Val Venis became 1 mil til he was finally let go. However if a wrestler so much appears on tv just once(Charlie Haas) in a season, he'll never drop to 1 mil. Infact, Knox was 1 mil at one point because he went through the motions of dropping and when he finally got to 1.5, he still went a whole season without even so much making one appearance. So the best way to describe a man that drops to 1 mil is if he was a 1.5 mil already and went the entire season with 0 points.
1.5 mils - 1.5 mil is either a diva who officially had an in-ring debut or a diva that fell out of the title scene completle and went through the motions of dropping like Mickie. She was a 3 mil at one point and after she lost the belt, I dropped her a half mil for every season she wasn't in the title scene before she settled a 1.5 again. Guys that debut as a wrestler or muscle but isn't having any matches kind of like when Zeke first debuted comes in as a 1.5 since he's technically only good for appearances but could still hit a finisher on Kendrick's opponent after the match(which is why I kept Swoggle a 1.5). Otherwise he's just a manager and would be 1 mil. The only way a guy can drop to 1.5 is if he wasn't higher than a midcarder and then disappears from tv forever like Hurricane Helms. He was a 3 mil champion and a solid midcarder and was feuding with Matt Hardy. After he got injured he basically just went through the motions until he hit 1.5. When he came back and started beating MVP and Shelton(US champ at the time). I put him up to 2.5. I only put him up to 2.5(which is still a full 1 mil) because he came back and won only two matches which wasn't enough to put him back to 3 mil and basically double his price. It could have easily been a comeback test run and that's apparently what it turned out to be, whether he was reinjured or not.
2 mils - any man who debuts mid season and wins a match in their first appearance instantly starts off at 2 mil. Those are always the guys that become your slaves for rest of the season. Also in a rare situation where a guy is basically forgotten about to the point where I had to move them down to 1 mil can move up to 2 mil if they return and start winning low card matches again. The other instant 2 mils are divas who are #1 contenders after the season ends. Since the previous champs are basically the recognized #1 contenders as of now(McCool and Beth) they are already at 2.5. But say if Gail Kim, for example, happens to win a #1 contendership match before or by Backlash, I'll move her up to 2 mil. The last example of a 2 mil is a guy who basically was a higher price but either becomes a total jobber or is an injured midcarder that no showed an entire season and basically going through the motions of the price drop
2.5 mil - 2.5 mil is the toughest to describe believe it or not. The best way to describe it is how a guy becomes that price. Say if a guy debuts(at 2 mil), if he just spends the whole season squashing jobbers and mixing up with uppermidcarders, he'll become 3 mil the next season. If he's undefeated and jumps right into mixing up with main eventers, he'll become 3.5 like Vlad and Swagger did after their debuting seasons. But if a guy debuts, wins and lose a few matches but never really gets that push into the midcard scene, he'll only jump to 2.5. Now here's where divas come in. Divas don't jump up to 2.5. They only jump to 3 mil as champions and drop to 2.5 when they lose. It doesn't matter if they lose the belt the last day of the season, they drop to 2.5 because no diva is worth being 3 mil without a title when a new season begins. Also, if guys who were extremely shitty jobbing tag champions that only held on to the 3 mil spot because of the belts will follow the same path as the divas. Another time a guy drops to 2.5 is if he's off tv or just going through the price drop motions while being depushed. Perfect examples of 2.5 mils that just can't break into the mid card scene would be Cryme Tyme. Perfect example of a diva drop because of a title loss is Beth pheonix. I can't even give a good example of guys who dropped to 2.5. Just know that dropping to 2.5 is basically because someone was basically given up on as a solid midcarder but could still easily mix up with mid carders. I don't have any examples right now but I have an example of a guy who could get sent down to 2.5 by Backlash and that's R-Truth. If he does nothing on tv this month he's one of the people that could suffer the consequences after Backlash
3 mils - Just a solid mid-carder on their respective brand. They're good to win squash matches on jobbers, yet they're good enough to lose to a 4 mil or 5 mil but still give them a decent match. Perfect example of those are Tyson Kidd, Evan Bourne, R-Truth, Mike Knox, Ted and Cody. I don't even count them for main events because if they are in a main event, it's usually for the stooge squash so that's the one exception of 3 mils in main events on their respective brands.
3.5 mils - It simply is what is. Better than a 3 mil but not quite good enough be a 4 mil. 3.5 is either a guy who dropped because he lost his midcard title during mid season or fell out of the main event or #1 contendership. Or if they jump to 3.5 it's because they became a solid upper midcarder who's good enough for branded main events. Vlad is a perfect example of the main eventer that can't cut it in the #1 contendership and Kofi is the perfect example of a guy who became 3.5 mil because he lost his IC title but never really lost a solid spot on the card.
4mils - anyone who is a #1 contender(Big Show), a main eventer that can basically fart their way into a title shot(Taker and Shawn), or anyone that holds the IC or US champion becomes 4 mil. 4 mils are pretty simple.
5 mils - This is a clinching spot of all the prices. Anyone who is a World champion(WWE, World, Ecw) leaving a PPV, remains or becomes 5 mil. Once a guy becomes 5 mil he won't lose his 5 mil spot unless he goes an entire season without recapturing the belt. That's why, even though Edge lost the title at mania as a 5 mil already, he'll remain 5 mil until at least Summerslam. Now as for Randy, since I'm trying to be accurate starting next season, if he wins at Backlash, he'll become 5 mil since, as I mentioned before, the superstars still can change in price until Backlash. But Trips won't lose his 5 mil spot regardless of whether he retains at BL or not for the same exact reason as Edge. Now the only exception to this rule is if a guy loses a belt right in the beginning of a season and drops right out of the main event like Matt and Jeff. They became 5 mils but they lost their titles the first week, dropped instantly out of the title scene and started feuding with eachother the entire season. It makes no sense to keep them 5 mil since they already went into wrestlemania as 5 mils kind of by fluke.

So if Triple H, Randy Orton, and Batista had a triple threat and triple H hit Randy Orton with a sledgehammer and then pedigreed Batista, he would only get the finisher win if he pinned Batista. It doesn't matter what order it occured in as long as the finisher was the last offensive move on the guy who was pinned. Had triple H pinned Randy ORton, he wouldn't get the finisher win since the pedigree was hit on Batista. Now, say if Triple hit the pedigree on Batista and Orton throws Triple H out of the ring and pins Batista, Triple H would STILL be awarded the finisher victory, even though he did not make the pinfall. This applies to run ins for guys who were'nt apart of the match as well. A superstar does NOT have to be apart of a match to earn finisher victory points, just as long as his finisher leads to whoever and whatever victory it is
SIGNATURE MOVE ESCAPE:
Each time a Superstar escapes a pinning predicament directly after being hit with his/her opponent's Signature Move, he/she is awarded 3 points.
Each time a Superstar escapes a submission signature move, he/she is awarded 3 points.
Simply blocking a signature move attempt (before it is executed/locked-in) does NOT constitute a Signature Move Escape.
Signature Move Escape points can only be awarded within the context of a match. And just like finisher victories, a superstar can be awarded finisher escape points if he kicks out of a finisher delivered by a superstar who was NOT a participant in the match, like receiving the finisher behind the refs back and kicking out
FINAL MATCH:
Each time a Superstar competes in the final match of an event, he/she is awarded an additional 3 points. This only applies to participants, not anyone else at ringside or shown backstage
FOREIGN OBJECT USE:
A Superstar will be awarded foreign object points each time he/she is successful in using a foreign object. Foreign objects include (but are not limited to) chairs, chains, bricks, 2x4s, car parts, powder, salt and the announcers' table. Objects do not count if a superstar uses the object on themselves
Simply swinging a chair or throwing an object without connecting does not count as foreign object use. The object must connect. Also the object must cause harm or humiliation. In other words, if divas are running around and squirting eachother with water guns for fun, it won't count. Those situations will be determined at the time and place
Objects that are considered part of the ring area, in most cases, will not earn foreign object points.
Objects that are considered part of a stipulation match (i.e. a ladder in a Ladder Match), in most cases, will not earn foreign object points.

DISQUALIFICATION:
An official disqualification from a match, regardless of the cause, will result in a deduction of 4 points.
SUSPENSION or FIRING:
An official suspension results in a deduction of 10 points. For an official suspension to be awarded, a Superstar must be suspended from action (for personal, medical, behavioral or any other reason) by an authorized WWE official (i.e. Mr. McMahon or their brand's General Manager). Being forced to leave a brand due to match loss DOES NOT constitute a suspension. A suspension or firing MUST take place on a scoring show for the superstars' points to be deducted. Being suspended in real life or on WWE.com does not count
A Superstar may still receive Fantasy points (appearance points, etc.) while officially on suspension. Like if he breaks into the arena

NOTE: Regular tag-team, six-man and eight-man tag matches will not count as Specialty Matches. Basically anything that doesn't have standard match rules is a specialty. For example, Lita faced Mickie James and Mickie had 1 arm tied behind her back. That instantly became a specialty match because it wasn't standard 1 on 1 anymore. The only 2 on 2 or 3 on 3 tag matches that count as specialties are mixed tag matches. If the women are only allowed to wrestled the women and the men are only allowed to wrestle the men. However, if the women are allowed to be in the ring with the men, it remains a regulation match since it's a standard tag match, just different genders.

Objects that count or do not count in specialties.
Object shots are inherent in any no holds barred/extreme/streetfight/Last man standing matches. But in matches like ladder matches, the ladder is only inherent but every other object will count. Same goes for matches like a last ride match. Only the hearse doesn't count as an object shot. Basically, any specialty with an object title in the name will instantly become inherent to scoring. So if it's a TLC match, Tables, ladders and Chairs won't count for object shots but any other object like ramming the opponents head into the announce table or choking him with a cord WILL count. As mentioned before, any match that's extreme and doesn't have a specifically promoted object in the title, will just cancel out object scoring in the match. Now a PPV like "extreme rules". If the match is simply just "extreme rules" objects won't count. SO, say at the extreme rules PPV, if it's a straight up extreme rules, hardcore, no holds barred, objects won't count since it promotes the use of any object. if a match is "extreme rules ladder match" it'll still be scored like a ladder match(any object counts but the ladder) because those matches are already extreme rules as is. It all depends on if an object is in the title. That's why Hell in a Cell matches are virtually the highest scoring matches in the game.
Once again, these object rules only apply to the actual match participants. For example, if Edge was facing Chris Jericho in a no holds barred match, they wouldn't get scored for object use. But if CM Punk did a run in using an object, he would get awarded points for every object use
Lastly, here's a complete breakdown of how each superstar is priced(this is what I moved from the game/salary thread)
.5 mils - rodents animals, midgets, Big hot dog Johnson
1 mils - 1 mils are either managers, GMs, or anyone that never gets in a ring unless it's part of a storyline to screw the manager over and just have a face or heel kill him for fun one night. The only way a guy drops to 1 mil is if he's basically non-existent in the company to the point where if there wasn't a WWE superstar page you would have sworn the guy was gone. Val Venis became 1 mil til he was finally let go. However if a wrestler so much appears on tv just once(Charlie Haas) in a season, he'll never drop to 1 mil. Infact, Knox was 1 mil at one point because he went through the motions of dropping and when he finally got to 1.5, he still went a whole season without even so much making one appearance. So the best way to describe a man that drops to 1 mil is if he was a 1.5 mil already and went the entire season with 0 points.
1.5 mils - 1.5 mil is either a diva who officially had an in-ring debut or a diva that fell out of the title scene completle and went through the motions of dropping like Mickie. She was a 3 mil at one point and after she lost the belt, I dropped her a half mil for every season she wasn't in the title scene before she settled a 1.5 again. Guys that debut as a wrestler or muscle but isn't having any matches kind of like when Zeke first debuted comes in as a 1.5 since he's technically only good for appearances but could still hit a finisher on Kendrick's opponent after the match(which is why I kept Swoggle a 1.5). Otherwise he's just a manager and would be 1 mil. The only way a guy can drop to 1.5 is if he wasn't higher than a midcarder and then disappears from tv forever like Hurricane Helms. He was a 3 mil champion and a solid midcarder and was feuding with Matt Hardy. After he got injured he basically just went through the motions until he hit 1.5. When he came back and started beating MVP and Shelton(US champ at the time). I put him up to 2.5. I only put him up to 2.5(which is still a full 1 mil) because he came back and won only two matches which wasn't enough to put him back to 3 mil and basically double his price. It could have easily been a comeback test run and that's apparently what it turned out to be, whether he was reinjured or not.
2 mils - any man who debuts mid season and wins a match in their first appearance instantly starts off at 2 mil. Those are always the guys that become your slaves for rest of the season. Also in a rare situation where a guy is basically forgotten about to the point where I had to move them down to 1 mil can move up to 2 mil if they return and start winning low card matches again. The other instant 2 mils are divas who are #1 contenders after the season ends. Since the previous champs are basically the recognized #1 contenders as of now(McCool and Beth) they are already at 2.5. But say if Gail Kim, for example, happens to win a #1 contendership match before or by Backlash, I'll move her up to 2 mil. The last example of a 2 mil is a guy who basically was a higher price but either becomes a total jobber or is an injured midcarder that no showed an entire season and basically going through the motions of the price drop
2.5 mil - 2.5 mil is the toughest to describe believe it or not. The best way to describe it is how a guy becomes that price. Say if a guy debuts(at 2 mil), if he just spends the whole season squashing jobbers and mixing up with uppermidcarders, he'll become 3 mil the next season. If he's undefeated and jumps right into mixing up with main eventers, he'll become 3.5 like Vlad and Swagger did after their debuting seasons. But if a guy debuts, wins and lose a few matches but never really gets that push into the midcard scene, he'll only jump to 2.5. Now here's where divas come in. Divas don't jump up to 2.5. They only jump to 3 mil as champions and drop to 2.5 when they lose. It doesn't matter if they lose the belt the last day of the season, they drop to 2.5 because no diva is worth being 3 mil without a title when a new season begins. Also, if guys who were extremely shitty jobbing tag champions that only held on to the 3 mil spot because of the belts will follow the same path as the divas. Another time a guy drops to 2.5 is if he's off tv or just going through the price drop motions while being depushed. Perfect examples of 2.5 mils that just can't break into the mid card scene would be Cryme Tyme. Perfect example of a diva drop because of a title loss is Beth pheonix. I can't even give a good example of guys who dropped to 2.5. Just know that dropping to 2.5 is basically because someone was basically given up on as a solid midcarder but could still easily mix up with mid carders. I don't have any examples right now but I have an example of a guy who could get sent down to 2.5 by Backlash and that's R-Truth. If he does nothing on tv this month he's one of the people that could suffer the consequences after Backlash
3 mils - Just a solid mid-carder on their respective brand. They're good to win squash matches on jobbers, yet they're good enough to lose to a 4 mil or 5 mil but still give them a decent match. Perfect example of those are Tyson Kidd, Evan Bourne, R-Truth, Mike Knox, Ted and Cody. I don't even count them for main events because if they are in a main event, it's usually for the stooge squash so that's the one exception of 3 mils in main events on their respective brands.
3.5 mils - It simply is what is. Better than a 3 mil but not quite good enough be a 4 mil. 3.5 is either a guy who dropped because he lost his midcard title during mid season or fell out of the main event or #1 contendership. Or if they jump to 3.5 it's because they became a solid upper midcarder who's good enough for branded main events. Vlad is a perfect example of the main eventer that can't cut it in the #1 contendership and Kofi is the perfect example of a guy who became 3.5 mil because he lost his IC title but never really lost a solid spot on the card.
4mils - anyone who is a #1 contender(Big Show), a main eventer that can basically fart their way into a title shot(Taker and Shawn), or anyone that holds the IC or US champion becomes 4 mil. 4 mils are pretty simple.
5 mils - This is a clinching spot of all the prices. Anyone who is a World champion(WWE, World, Ecw) leaving a PPV, remains or becomes 5 mil. Once a guy becomes 5 mil he won't lose his 5 mil spot unless he goes an entire season without recapturing the belt. That's why, even though Edge lost the title at mania as a 5 mil already, he'll remain 5 mil until at least Summerslam. Now as for Randy, since I'm trying to be accurate starting next season, if he wins at Backlash, he'll become 5 mil since, as I mentioned before, the superstars still can change in price until Backlash. But Trips won't lose his 5 mil spot regardless of whether he retains at BL or not for the same exact reason as Edge. Now the only exception to this rule is if a guy loses a belt right in the beginning of a season and drops right out of the main event like Matt and Jeff. They became 5 mils but they lost their titles the first week, dropped instantly out of the title scene and started feuding with eachother the entire season. It makes no sense to keep them 5 mil since they already went into wrestlemania as 5 mils kind of by fluke.
