Orphaned references in The League of Nations (professional wrestling)

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of The League of Nations (professional wrestling)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Lead

~~Irishman, Mexican, Bulgarian, Englishman and United States should generally not be linked per MOS:OVERLINK~~

~~"and come together to proudly represent their respective nations" - banded~~

~~"The faction primarily feuded with Roman Reigns and was poorly received by critics." - perhaps it would help to briefly state why critics disliked the group~~
- Thanks for taking this on! I've just started these fixes but will be on and off here throughout the day.LM2000 (talk) 17:08, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

History

~~Delink United States per MOS:OVERLINK~~

"individual members of The League of Nations also feuded individually with other wrestlers during this period," - try to avoid close repetition of similarly spelled wording such as the one highlighted in bold

"Both of these rivalries culminated in matches at TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs, where all of the League members successful in their separate singles matches" - repetition of the word "matches"

"Sheamus' WWE World Heavyweight Championship run ended the following night on Raw when he lost the championship back to Reigns," - how about changing the word in bold to "title" to avoid repetition of the same word in the same sentence

"Del Rio and Rusev were defeated by Big E and Woods in another title match, prompting all four members of The League to attack The New Day after the match." - same issue as above

"Their feud with The Wyatt Family was cut short because Bray Wyatt suffered a legitimate injury." - maybe add the event on which Bray Wyatt sustained his injury

~~"Del Rio also confirmed in an interview that the group was finished," - was disbanded,~~
- Done. For the record, the source I used for Wyatt's injury did not credit an author.LM2000 (talk) 21:55, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Reception

~~"Pro Wrestling Dot Net writer Haydn Gleed criticized how WWE wasted the four men's combined potential" - more formal; squandered~~

~~"In an interview shortly after his departure from the company," - you mean he left WWE?~~

~~"caused Alberto Del Rio's stock to drop" - avoid using idioms per MOS:IDIOM and rewrite it so that it is more formal~~

References

~~References 3 and 23 are missing the authors and publication dates of the respective articles~~

Reference 9 have the forename and surname in the wrong order

The link of Reference 18 directs to another article. Please fix this issue

Reference 16 is missing the author and the access date

Reference 24 is missing the author who wrote the article

~~International Business Times has been deemed a "generally unreliable source" per WP:RSP. Please replace it where possible with another source that states the information the IBT already verifies~~
