9 Hidden Meanings Behind Outlandish WWE SummerSlam 2018 Attires
1. Ronda Rousey
A pre-show glimpse of Ronda Rousey mentally preparing for her match against Alexa Bliss revealed a composed 'Baddest Woman On The Planet' with eye makeup that seemed to send Twitter into a blind meltdown.
The comparison that first leapt out was the eponymous Black Swan ballerina portrayed by Natalie Portman in the spectacular 2010 movie of the same name. Though rooted more in the realms of a psychological thriller, the movie explores the physical and mental hardships of ballet that few outside the realm ever see. Her journey from Mixed Martial Arts to Professional Wrestling has no doubt been littered with almost identical misconceptions and challenges.
Or - and this can't technically be ruled out - she's just a massive fan of 1995 WWF half-human half-bull Mantaur. He painted his eyes almost identically, and her horn-styled hair and charge taunt before the bell may well be reaching through the generations towards a oft-forgotten cartoon misstep.
