Which WWE Superstar had their Marvel role cut out before Seth Rollins?

If rumors are to be believed, Seth Rollins won’t be the first WWE Superstar to have his role cut from a major Marvel movie. His wife and fellow superstar Becky Lynch was also reportedly removed from Eternals.

Lynch was thought to make a cameo appearance in a post-credits scene but was scrapped for unknown reasons. Marvel refused to comment while the reports noted her performance had nothing to do with the role being cut off from the movie.

Eternals was released on November 5, 2021, to modest reviews and decent Box Office performance. A sequel wasn’t announced, but the post-credits scenes hinted at unresolved storylines.
