WWE posters have been sucking pretty hard as of late. It tends to be one head with the object/gimmick of the ppv somewhere behind him.

Sometimes you get lucky and have two guys.

Sometimes you get unlucky and it's just Randy Orton with a super creepy head.

They've been doing this for just about two years now. It's not creative it's just shit thrown togther. Honestly it's on par with this TNA poster for the most part at least they stat the gimmick instead of hiding it somewhere on the image they also manage not to single out any one or two guys. Though when I saw it I instantly thought of angle.

Those are the only posters I really like that Hatred posted, and look at that, two of them just have the two opponents in the main event on them. Exactly what EVOLVE does.

The only one with creativity is No Way Out. I'm sure if you look back through all the wrestling posters WWE has done that extreme rules one pops up in 99 or 02 The Rock Cena one is so uncreative it's the same thing on both sides.

Adding more people doesn't make it better but saying hmmm Hell in a Cell Let's put DB in front of a Cell wall.

Or TLC Lets have John Cena in the front with one of his opponents climbing a ladder or going through a table behind him.

Or better yet we could have the bigger name or returning guy really close in the image and his opponent in the back looking over his shoulder.

Shitty poster aside, the video promo for the show is actually pretty cool. Much more creative.
