Dragon Ball Z has inspired many celebrities, one of whom is WWE wrestler Ronda Rousey who slipped the anime&#039;s reference in a recent match.

Ronda Rousey Showed Another &#8216;Dragon Ball Z&#8217; Reference With a Unique Mark in Her WWE Match

Dragon Ball Z has a solid fanbase, even in the world of WWE. Often considered
one of the best anime ever, it has influenced anime fans globally whether
through manga or animated series, or even movie versions. The anime’s wave could
even be felt in Hollywood, with several celebrities from different fields going
gaga over it. Some of whom show their love through references.

The latest one to show her love for the anime is Ronda Rousey. The Professional
American Wrestler is a beauty with muscles and never shies away from expressing
her love for the anime. She showed it too, in a unique manner at this year’s
Money In The Bank event.


HOW EXACTLY DID RONDA ROUSEY SHOW HER LOVE FOR DRAGON BALL Z?

Celebrities often show a representation of their favorite thing through
references, and Rousey’s certainly wasn’t a subtle one. According to Comicbook
[https://comicbook.com/wwe/news/wwe-money-in-the-bank-ronda-rousey-dragon-ball-z-majin-vegeta/],
she turned up for the 14th Annual Money in the Bank event with a Majin M design
on her forehead. The wrestler looked ready in fight mode, wearing her previous
achievement on her waist, a blue jacket, a high ponytail, and a fierce look on
her face.

Now she may not be a big fan of Vegeta, but it was his different form that she
had channeled.



In Dragon Ball Z, the character allows Babidi to take over him, in order to gain
a higher form. This becomes the rise of Majin Vegeta, who is more powerful and
unleashes his darker side. This would explain Rousey’s approach to this year’s
event. Although the event did not turn in her favor, her forehead marking
certainly garnered some attention.

She is not the only celebrity to express her love in a big way for Japanese
anime. Actor Michael B. Jordan did it too.


MICHAEL B. JORDAN WAS INSPIRED BY THE ANIME FOR HIS CREED FRANCHISE

Making his directorial debut, Michael B. Jordan grabbed the opportunity to put
Akira reference
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-did-you-spot-these-multiple-akira-easter-eggs-in-michale-b-jordans-creed-iii/]
from Dragon Ball Z for his Creed franchise. Even his character Adonis Creed’s
fight scenes with Jonathan Majors’ Damian were inspired by Naruto’s fight,
including the way punches are thrown.



Even his trunks from the boxing ring are inspired by Kaneda’s jacket. Needless
to say, both he and the fans loved the idea and the movie.
