4 WWE stars who should've been on the WrestleMania 42 poster

WWE just ignited the WrestleMania 42 hype cycle last night, unveiling a cinematic masterpiece on its social media handles. This isn't just a standard teaser, but it's an elegant, cinematic vignette straight out of a Martin Scorsese fever dream, blending the glitz of Sin City with the larger-than-life egos of WWE. The poster and video package center on a tense poker showdown, featuring four superstars.Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, CM Punk, and Brock Lesnar are locked in a high-stakes poker game around a green-felt table emblazoned with the WrestleMania logo and towering chip stacks. Beside them stood Triple H and Paul Heyman. However, some of the biggest names of WWE have been left out of the early hype poster of The Showcase of the Immortals.Here are four WWE stars who should have been on the WrestleMania 42 poster:#4. Rhea RipleyRhea Ripley is one of the most polarizing figures currently in the WWE women's division. Her popularity has grown tremendously in recent years, and she has become a household name for the WWE Universe. Ripley usually remains in the poster of every premium live event and major shows. However, she is nowhere in the recent WrestleMania 42 poster.WWE should have included The Eradicator in the promotional poster for The Show of Shows, given that she is the face of the women's division. It could have put the spotlight on her, further increasing her popularity among mainstream fans. Featuring Rhea Ripley on the WrestleMania 42 poster could have also highlighted the inclusivity of the women's division.#3. Drew McIntyreDrew McIntyre has been one of WWE's biggest and most reliable stars, carrying the company on his back. He has been representing the Stamford-based promotion as an ambassador at every major and minor event. There is no doubt that McIntyre should have been on the WrestleMania 42 poster that WWE recently released.Imagine The Scottish Warrior sitting around the poker table in a black suit alongside CM Punk and Brock Lesnar in the promotional video. It could have been absolute chills, as Drew McIntyre's aura is unmatched. Besides, featuring him would have only looked natural, as McIntyre has been WWE's homegrown talent and a top star.#2. Becky LynchBecky Lynch has been a trailblazer of the women's division in WWE. There is no doubt that Lynch's popularity goes beyond the wrestling realm. She should have been included in the WrestleMania 42 early poster that the company recently released. Big Time Becks is a prominent name in the mainstream media and her inclusion could have brought more eyeballs.Even the non-wrestling fans who are familiar with Becky Lynch could have shown interest in WWE's biggest event of the year and the hype cycle would have worked perfectly. Moreover, Lynch being on the poster could have showcased the star power of the women's division. There is no doubt that The Man's inclusion would have added more weight to the poster.#1. Randy OrtonRandy Orton is one of the biggest names in the world of pro wrestling. There is hardly any wrestling fan who is unfamiliar with him. The Viper, without a doubt, should have been featured in the WrestleMania 42 poster. With John Cena retiring in December and The Rock's exile from the company, WWE needed a legendary veteran figure on the poster alongside CM Punk.Therefore, Orton would have been a perfect fit for that. He has been the poster boy in WWE for a decade and the company should have capitalized on his star power and global popularity. Watching a beloved figure like Randy Orton on the WrestleMania 42 poster would have pleased fans and hyped them naturally for the grand spectacle.
