WWE May Have Teased Special Role For Rhea Ripley Alongside Roman Reigns

Roman Reigns has been confirmed for WrestleMania 42 alongside Brock Lesnar, CM Punk, and Cody Rhodes. WWE has yet to confirm the other names for The Grandest Stage of All.

WWE released a teaser for the premium live event, showing the four stalwarts sitting at a poker table while Triple H and Paul Heyman watched them.

Interestingly, there is an extra set of chips on the poker table, which is leading to speculations that someone else might join the table.

While the men’s roster is well represented in the teaser, there is no representation of the women’s roster. On Busted Open Radio, Bully Ray analyzed it and claimed that The Eradicator can join Roman Reigns and the others at the poker table and sit in front of the extra set of chips.

I would love to see a follow-up commercial where they’re at the table playing poker, and you hear a door slam, and you see a female sit down. And all you hear is, ‘Deal me in, boys.’ The camera pans up, and it’s Rhea Ripley.

Now, I get it, the stack of chips could be there just to bring some extra color to the poster, or something. But why would there be an extra stack of chips at the poker table? I don’t think Heyman’s playing. I don’t think Hunter’s playing. That one spot could be for somebody. Maybe it’s for Rhea, we’ll see.

"Deal Me in Boys."
