Meanwhile, King of the Ring winner, Xavier Woods and his hand Kofi Kingston also wore similar outfits. Starting with Woods, his outfit was directly based on Tekken’s very own King.

Meanwhile, Kofi carried the hybrid look based on characters from the fighting game franchise that showed off traces of a blend of multiple characters. That said, his look seemed quite similar to Bryan Fury from the game. Being hand to the king is not an easy job, and someone of Fury’s kickboxing pedigree can truly deem themselves worthy of the job.
