The WWE is gearing up for its highly anticipated premium live event, King and Queen of the Ring, in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. As the excitement builds, the company has revealed its official poster, which has sparked curiosity among fans and critics alike. A closer look at the poster reveals an uncanny resemblance to the promotional banner of Marvel’s 2018 superhero blockbuster, Black Panther.
The intricately designed poster features WWE Superstars against a striking blue background, adorned with vibrant golden patterns, with the iconic monuments of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia stretching across the bottom. However, eagle-eyed fans have noticed a striking similarity between the WWE poster and the Black Panther movie poster. It appears that the WWE has taken inspiration from the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s iconic film.
A careful examination of both posters reveals that the Stamford-based promotion has carefully replicated the placement of characters from Black Panther’s poster onto their own. Cody Rhodes, the top star, has been positioned at the top, mirroring Chadwick Boseman’s (T’Challa) placement.
Logan Paul, donning the role of the despicable heel, has been placed in a spot eerily reminiscent of Erik Killmonger’s position. Meanwhile, Becky Lynch’s placement bears an uncanny resemblance to Naikia’s spot in the Marvel movie.
It’s clear that the WWE has subtly tried to draw parallels between their Superstars and the characters from Black Panther. This bold move has sparked debate among fans, with some praising the creative nod to the Marvel film, while others see it as a blatant copy.
Regardless of the inspiration behind the poster, one thing is certain – the King and Queen of the Ring premium live event promises to be an epic spectacle, boasting high-profile matches and top-tier talent. As the WWE continues to leave no stone unturned in promoting the event, fans can only speculate about the awesomeness that awaits them. Will the WWE’s grandeur live up to the hype, or will it fall short of expectations? Only time will tell. One thing is for sure, though – the WWE has certainly generated buzz around the event, and the world is watching.
