There's a definite crossover between superhero and wrestling fans, likely because both forms of entertainment feature larger-than-life characters. 

We also know of a lot of professional wrestlers who love superheroes, and the genre is one they frequently pay homage to with their ring gear. On Saturday night, Money in the Bank took place in London, England, and Irish WWE Superstar Becky Lynch came to the ring decked out like X-Men member Siryn. 

While she couldn't don the classic "X" logo for copyright reasons, Lynch hit the ring in a green and yellow costume that was clearly referencing one of Marvel Comics' few Irish superheroes. 

Created by writer Chris Claremont and artist Steve Leialoha, Siryn first appeared in the pages of Spider-Woman #37 in 1981.

The daughter of Banshee, she was initially portrayed as an antagonist due to her falling under the spell of the evil Black Tom. Later, she'd escape her cousin's influence and reunited with her father to join the X-Men.

Siryn is also one of Deadpool's love interests, and fans have long hoped she might appear in live-action alongside the Merc with the Mouth. That's looking unlikely for Deadpool 3, but may eventually happen when Marvel Studios reboots the team. 

As for Lynch, she failed to win the women's Money in the Bank briefcase and is in the midst of a feud with WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus. The Man is no stranger to superheroes after reportedly shooting a cut cameo in Eternals, while her husband, Seth Rollins, will play Cobra in Captain America: Brave New World.

Has there been any confirmation on who Becky Lynch played in the scenes she shot for Eternals? It was reported that she shot a sequence, but it was cut from the final film. When rumors were floating around a few years ago, I was hoping for Screaming Mimi/Songbird or Titania.

I know a lot people had supposed Becky was dressed up as Jean/Phoenix, but Siryn is a really cool shoutout.

The women's Money in the Bank this year was very well booked and featured one of my favorite endings for matches with this stipulation. Zoey Stark got lots of moments to show her hard hitting edge, Zelina got to shine (especially with that gnarly Code Red), Trish Stratus is giving the best in-ring action of her career, Becky and Bayley did great in their roles as workhorse veterans. Of course, the biggest star was Io Sky/Io Shirai. I can only hope they give Io the respect she has earned the world over.

I thought it was Phoenix when I watched it. But Siryn makes more sense.

@TREE24K - Same. Brother and sister thought Rogue though.

Hopefully the MCU gives us a Cable led X-Force with Siryn on it, after establishing the New Mutants early on!
