Wrestlemania is one of the biggest events of the year for wrestling fans, and this year is no different with the kickoff of Wrestlemania 34. This year the kick-off show included three major matches, one of which was the title match for the Cruiserweight Championship.

One of the contenders celebrated his big match, and the recent popularity of Black Panther, by wrestling in gear inspired by the film's titular hero.

Cedric Alexander wore tights inspired by T'Challa's suit in the film after it's been hit by a few attacks, and stores the friction in its suit with a purple energy. Fans are expecting many more great moments like this, and shout outs to the world at large as Wrestlemania 34 continues.

Fans agree the match between Alexander and his opponent Mustafa Ali for the vacant championship was definitely on to watch.
