For years, players were puzzled by the inclusion of wrestler Scott "Raven" Levy on the game's cover art, as despite his cult icon status in Extreme Championship Wrestling, Raven wasn't as big of a superstar in World Championship Wrestling compared to the other three wrestlers on the cover: Hollywood Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash, and Bill Goldberg. In 2020, Raven would clarify on Twitter that he was included on the cover simply because he was THQ producer Sanders Keel's favorite wrestler. Levy also joked that "the Illuminati were recruiting [him]." An interview on the Insider's Edge podcast with Keel confirmed the story, having been a fan of Raven's since his ECW days. Raven's inclusion also helps highlight the game's main four factions: WCW (Goldberg), New World Order White (Hogan), nWo Red/Wolfpac (Nash) and Raven's Flock.
