8 Hidden Meanings Behind WWE WrestleMania 40 Attires

8. New Day (Rocky & Apollo Creed)

Stop us if you've seen this one before.

New Day duo Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods marched to the ring for their ladder match as Rocky Balboa and Apollo Creed respectively. That nod to one of Philadelphia's favourite fictional sons, his on/off friend/opponent and an iconic movie franchise was lovely, but there was something deeper afoot for Woods.

He was pretty much dressed as ex-TNA X-Division star Consequences Creed. That's when Xavier started rocking the Creed style, so this was a cracking full circle moment for him at 'Mania. Some folks on social media appear to have missed Kofi's cosplay tribute to Rocky though, which is interesting.

He was definitely rocking that famous yellow Rocky robe, but stopped short of hitting some jabs or uppercuts during the multi-team ladder melee on the night.
