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, 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 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.
