It's no secret that most WWE Superstars are big fans of various mainstream media, this was on full show during the Black Panther 2 premiere. Besides Naomi and Sasha Banks, other names were also present on the red carpet.
The long-awaited sequel to the first Black Panther film from 2018 was released on November 11, 2022, but had its premiere on October 26. The cast consisted of Letitia Wright, Angela Bassett, Tenoch Huerta, and more.
Besides the cast, the former WWE Women's Tag Team Champions were also present. This came as no shock as the duo has been spotted at multiple events since their absence from the Stamford-based promotion. In the past, they have appeared at the She-Hulk premiere.
For the premiere of Black Panther 2, Banks and Naomi were joined by Jimmy Uso, Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods, and Big E of The New Day. The appearance of the WWE trio isn't that surprising since Kingston has expressed in the past how they are big fans of the product.
"We’re all big uh Marvel fans, DC fans. Anytime we can combine pop culture with what we do, it hits with a certain audience man. That’s what’s kind of made us like — it gives us that street cred with people... Look man, there’s a lot of us that are Marvel fans — myself, Woods, and your boys the New Day would love to be in a Marvel movie. I know Black Panther got a whole series coming out. I was born in the motherland, you know. What I’m saying, put your boy on the show.”
