Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods might not have Big E at their side in their latest matches as a tag team, as their "third wheel" continues his solo career, but that hasn't stopped them from showing their love of all things geek with their tribute to both the White and Green Rangers from Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. As fans of the series know, both of these Rangers are actually one in the same, as the power was wielded by Tommy Oliver. The New Day hasn't been afraid to wear their love of geek culture into the ring and this is definitely one of their best looks to date.

The New Day - Dragon Ball Z

Worn as a part of WrestleMania 32, the New Day practically got the ball rolling on anime being included in the world of professional wrestling by sporting Saiyan armor worn by the likes of Vegeta, Nappa, Raditz, and denizens of the Planet Vegeta from Dragon Ball Z. These outfits are definitely one of the most well-known clothing that the New Day has worn to date, and still remains a fan favorite not just for the trio, but for professional wrestling in general.

Ricochet - My Hero Academia's All Might

WWE's Ricochet hasn't been shy about his love of anime, specifically the series of My Hero Academia with his All Might gear. Dressing as the Symbol of Peace for the Crown Jewel event in 2019, it's clear that the high-flying superstar definitely gains inspiration from the number one hero in the anime world created by Kohei Horikoshi.

Pentagon Jr - The Joker

Pentagon Jr. is one of the best wrestlers in the roster of All Elite Wrestling, performing some dizzying attacks following his career as a part of Lucha Underground alongside Fenix, and the latest event for the company saw the masked brawler altering his normal appearance to look far more like the Clown Prince of Crime. Pentagon might not be as crazy as the Joker, but his brutality in the ring certainly matches the most well-known Batman villain.

Seth Rollins - The X-Men

Sporting an outfit to honor Marvel's mightiest mutants during WWE's 2019 Extreme Rules, the Smackdown Savior Seth Rollins showed his love for the X-Men with a suit that looks like it was ripped straight from the pages of Grant Morrison's run on the superhero team. Much like The New Day, this isn't the only outfit that Rollins has worn honoring comic book characters, having also sported vests designed to look like the Mad Titan Thanos and the Avengers gear in Endgame.

Finn Balor - Marvel's Carnage

Finn Balor's "Demon" days might be behind him, but many fans will never forget when he would dive into the world of comic books, most specifically with a cadre of makeup outfits honoring Spider-Man, Venom, and the insidious Carnage. With Venom: Let There Be Carnage set to release into theaters later this year, we definitely wouldn't be surprised if Balor decided to dust off the makeup kit and take on the appearance of a symbiote once again, specifically the one that's wrapped around Cletus Kassady.

Rey Mysterio Jr - Batman

WWE WresleMania Backlash this year saw Rey Mysterio Jr sporting an outfit that not only honored the Dark Knight, but took a page from his blue and grey costume that was made famous in the pages of DC Comics. This is hardly the first time that Mysterio has decided to don the attire of the Batman, with an appearance in 2016. As Mysterio seems to be handing off his legacy to his son Dominik, with the father and son team winning the tag team championship recently, it will be interesting to see if Rey's son also slaps on an outfit that looks close to Gotham's protector.
