WWE held its annual Extreme Rules PPV last night, and while there was plenty of big talking points to come out of the show, comic book fans have been going crazy over Charlotte Flair's ring gear.
The Queen was putting her RAW Women's Championship on the line against Alexa Bliss, a supernatural character who has been tormenting the daughter of WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair for weeks now. That might explain what she chose to wear for the match, as her normal outfit was "infected" by the Venom symbiote.

Clearly inspired by the upcoming release of Venom: Let There Be Carnage, this is a badass look for Flair and one that definitely fit the aesthetic of the Extreme Rules event. Later in the evening, Finn Balor returned as "The Demon" to battle Universal Champion Roman Reigns (things didn't end particularly well for him in the main event, and you can read more on that here).
There are a lot of shared fans between the pro wrestling and comic book worlds, and many WWE Superstars have donned costumes and ring gear inspired by the Marvel and DC Universes over the years. However, Flair's take on Venom is one of the most memorable efforts we've seen.
WWE doesn't have any sort of promotional deal with Sony Pictures to hype up Venom: Let There Be Carnage as far as we know, so it's likely Charlotte is a fan of the Marvel Comics character.
