AEW’s Jade Cargill Shows Off Impressive Mortal Kombat Cosplay
All-Elite Wrestling superstar Jade Cargill recently took to the ring dressed as the similarly-named Jade from Mortal Kombat. Wrestling and gaming go hand-in-hand quite often, with 2K Games about to launch WWE 2K22 later this week and AEW planning its own wrestling game by former WWE developer Yukes. There are also plenty of wrestling fans who share the hobby of gaming, even going as far as to debate their favorite JRPGS during the occasional WWE or AEW house show.
As it turns out, the wrestlers themselves are big gaming fans too, with recent big-name examples including The New Day’s Xavier Woods, who hosted a gaming competition show on the returning G4 network last year. Some wrestlers even dress up as their favorite video game characters both in and out of the squared circle, such as then-NXT Champion Tommaso Ciampa showing off an ensemble inspired by God Of War’s Kratos during last year’s WWE Halloween Havoc special and wrestler Zelina Vega dressing up as Ahri from League Of Legends late last summer. AEW recently joined in on the wrestling cosplay fun with a new line of action figures featuring stars like Kenny Omega and Nick Jackson as Street Fighter characters, but one in-ring competitor recently took a page from Mortal Kombat for her latest battle attire.
