As happens every so often, there’s a big clue as to who WWE sees as its biggest superstars right now across each of its shows.
WWE.com have updated their roster banners for each individual show (Raw, SmackDown and NXT), as well as the banner for the overall ‘Superstars’ roster page.
What this does is gives us a bit of an indication of who WWE sees as their six biggest superstars on each show, or at least the most marketable, as they’re the ones chosen to be the faces of that show on the website.
While it might not mean a whole lot in the grand scheme of things, you’d certainly think a company involved in a $9.3 billion deal this year would at least put some thought into who they put on these graphics.
Below are comparison images for each show between the previous and new versions of the graphics, along with a look at who has been added, removed, and who has stayed on them since last time they were updated, which was shortly after the WWE Draft.
For the Raw banner, the previous version had Sami Zayn, Becky Lynch, Cody Rhodes, Rhea Ripley, Seth Rollins, and Kevin Owens.
The new version features Gunther, Rhea Ripley, Cody Rhodes, Becky Lynch, and Ricochet.
That means the people removed are Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens, replaced by Gunther and Ricochet, while staying on the banner since last time are Becky Lynch, Cody Rhodes, Rhea Ripley and Seth Rollins.
As for SmackDown, the previous version had Austin Theory, Charlotte Flair, Roman Reigns, Bianca Belair, Solo Sikoa and Asuka.
The new SmackDown banner features Rey Mysterio, Charlotte Flair, Roman Reigns, Bianca Belair, LA Knight and IYO SKY.
That means Austin Theory, Solo Sikoa and Asuka have been removed, replaced by Rey Mysterio, LA Knight and Iyo SKY, while still on there are Charlotte Flair, Roman Reigns and Bianca Belair.
NXT has also been updated – the previous NXT banner had Roxanne Perez, Cora Jade, Carmelo Hayes, Bron Breakker, Tiffany Stratton and Wes Lee.
The new NXT banner features Tiffany Stratton, Roxanne Perez, Carmelo Hayes, Bron Breakker, Gigi Dolin and Dominik Mysterio (who is technically on the Raw roster, but is NXT North American Champion).
That means Cora Jade and Wes Lee have been removed, replaced by Gigi Dolin and Dominik Mysterio, while Tiffany Stratton, Roxanne Perez, Carmelo Hayes and Bron Breakker all stay on there.
That’s the individual roster banners, but there’s also the overall one at the very top of the Superstars roster page.
Comparison images are once again below, but we’ll list the people who remain on the banner since last time and who has been newly added, and who was removed.
Still on the banner: Cody Rhodes, Becky Lynch, Rhea Ripley, Seth Rollins, Carmelo Hayes, Roman Reigns, Bianca Belair, Gunther, Dominik Mysterio, Charlotte Flair, Bron Breakker, Rey Mysterio, Tiffany Stratton, LA Knight
Added to the banner: Damian Priest, Ricochet, Raquel Rodriguez, Roxanne Perez, Bobby Lashley, IYO SKY, Gigi Dolin, Chelsea Green
