• Reason Behind Triple H Being Featured On WrestleMania 42 Poster Despite Being Retired
WWE dropped a series of cryptic teasers over the past few days, leaving fans speculating about their meaning. It was later revealed that they were part of a promotional campaign for WrestleMania 42, which is set to take place in Las Vegas next April. The video featured Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar, CM Punk, Paul Heyman and WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H.
As part of the campaign, WWE also released a promotional poster showing the same lineup sitting around a poker table in a casino setting, a nod to the Las Vegas theme. Reigns, Rhodes, Lesnar and Punk were seated with poker chips in hand, while Triple H and Heyman stand behind them, overseeing the scene.
The inclusion of Triple H, who retired from pro wrestling in 2022, caught the attention of many fans online. Some questioned why The Game was featured on the poster despite working in a backstage role now.
Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer explained that Triple H is essentially the “Dana White of WWE.” He noted that this is the role TKO wants him to portray publicly and added that if UFC released a similar promotional photo, Dana White would be positioned the same way.
• “Take his voice away” – Hall Of Famer On How WWE Can Start LA Knight’s Comeback
LA Knight has become one of the most popular stars in WWE over the last couple of years. While many fans believe he deserves a World Championship run, WWE’s booking of him hasn’t always been consistent.
Speaking on Busted Open Radio, WWE Hall of Famer Bubba Ray Dudley pitched a bold idea to elevate LA Knight. He suggested a storyline where Knight loses his voice after a brutal attack, stays silent for weeks and relies on the crowd to speak for him, setting up a huge comeback moment when he finally talks again.
“You know what LA Knight needs? A blood feud. Take his voice away. Put the steel chair on his neck and take another steel chair and smack it into the legs of that steel chair and drive the lip of the chair into his larynx, crushing his larynx, so he can’t talk anymore.
Until the time is right for somebody to make fun of him and go, ‘You can’t even talk, you can’t even talk, all you’ve got is the people talking for you, here watch,’ and then the people go, ‘L… A… Knight…’ and out of nowhere, LA Knight goes, ‘Yeah.’ And he talks for the first time again.
The people would blow up. LA Knight starts his comeback, and you’ve made a guy because we feel sympathetic for him, because he overcame adversity and got his voice back.”
The Mega Star lost to Bron Breakker on the latest episode of RAW and has only scored one pinfall victory since July.
Fans have grown frustrated with WWE’s booking of him, particularly after the company chose Jey Uso, who already held gold earlier this year, to face CM Punk for the vacant World Heavyweight Championship at Saturday Night’s Main Event.
