WWE perfectly built to WrestleMania 21 by having some of its Superstars recreate iconic scenes from some of history's greatest movies. 18 years later, the biggest show of the year is returning to Hollywood. That sparked hope, then rumors, and finally reports that the company and some of its top stars would be renewing the tradition for this year's WrestleMania.
Seth Rollins Is The Joker
That was finally confirmed to be true about an hour into Saturday night's Elimination Chamber. The live feed cut to an image that looked like the scene where Joaquin Phoenix's Joker walks into an elevator in the movie named after the infamous DC villain. If you hadn't already guessed who it really was by the music faintly playing, when the clown prince of crime turned around, he was revealed to be Seth Rollins.
The Architect proceeded to perfectly replicate the scene from Joker where Phoenix dances down a set of concrete steps. Unlike the movie, Batman is waiting for him at the bottom. Well, not Batman, The Man. Becky Lynch playing the role of The Dark Knight complete with the brooding hero's gruff voice.
Back To The Man Cave
After the real-life husband and wife have an amusing exchange, Bat Lynch informs Joker Rollins that she's heading back to her Man Cave, something her life partner knows nothing about. Hopefully the first of many incredibly well made movie parodies we get in the coming weeks. Reports would certainly suggest that will be the case with rumors swirling that Roman Reigns, and whoever else is left in The Bloodline after tonight, will be recreating a scene from Goodfellas.
As for Rollins and Lynch, the former's road to WrestleMania may well be a little clearer by the time you read this. Rollins will be in an Elimination Chamber match for the US Title, and if he wins, he will presumably have to defend that title on The Grandest Stage Of Them All. It does feel like he's more likely to be facing Logan Paul though while Lynch currently has nothing in the pipeline.
