13 Times The Joker & Harley Quinn Inspired Wrestlers

12. Seth Rollins

Seth Rollins has had many instances where he's taken inspiration from The Ace of Knaves. In fact, The Joker is essentially baked into his performance these days, as his mannerisms can be boiled down to an exaggerated laugh, extravagant outfits that are flashier than they are practical, and a knack for merging well-planned mental games as The Architect and The Visionary with a little bit of chaos.

Even when he's kept it a bit more subtle (if you can call it that), Rollins has sported a purple and green suit that is The Joker's most recognizable outfit, complete with a giant grin to drive home the reference.

But Rollins gets bonus points for actually portraying his own version of the actual Joker character itself in WWE's parody of Joaquin Phoenix's Joker film during the promotional hype for WrestleMania Hollywood in 2023.

In this video, Rollins—sporting the proper face paint and suit to go along with the gag—replicated the standout stairwell dance sequence from the film and found himself at odds with his wife, Becky Lynch, in a twist on her moniker of "The Man" representing The Batman.
