This one is just begging for someone to interview Damian Priest and Finn Balor to find out exactly what inspired their 'Mania entrance gear. Both wore striking masks that immediately made them look like superhero villains that wouldn't be out of place in Batman or Spider-Man.

Bálor had Scarecrow vibes, for example.

Some online are suggesting that Priest was paying homage to The Undertaker's 'Phantom Of The Opera' mask from the mid-1990s. That's possible, but it does seem like the now-ex Mr. MITB and current World Heavyweight Champ was going for something even scarier.

Answers on a postcard for this one, please. It's open to interpretation. If it was a 'Taker tribute, then it was Priest's own personal take on that.
