14 Wrestling Gimmicks Blatantly Stolen From Hollywood

3. Alexa Bliss - Harley Quinn

At Backlash, Alexa Bliss debuted her distinct new look, quite clearly influenced by Suicide Squad's Harley Quinn, what with her cheerleader pom-poms, pig-tails, coloured hair and erratic, over-the-top facial make-up.

While it's utterly blatant that Alexa is cashing in on the huge box office success of Suicide Squad, to her credit it makes so much sense: she's a blonde, petite woman with a strong physical resemblance to Harley, but at the same time she doesn't take it too far so that it seems like a cosplay.

Plus, let's face it, Alexa's temper tantrums in the ring when her opponents kick out are so hilarious. It may seem like lazy opportunism, but Alexa totally makes it work, so it feels more earned than not.
