Mortal Kombat and the colorfully costumed world of professional wrestling have had a long association, so it's little wonder a WWE star has paid homage to one of MK's enduring icons with his entrance attire for NXT Halloween Havoc. Watch an entrance made in Hell right here:

Third-generation wrestling Zilla Fatu made his way to the ring for a "Very Nice, Very Evil" match in the mask and colours of Mortal Kombat's Scorpion! The jacket and pants variant wasn't quite lifted from Hanzo Hasashi's personal wardrobe, but its ventilated hard yellow mask evoked the klassic practical attire of Mortal Kombat II, with the yellow gear imprinted with his iconic "Get over here!" battle cry on the back.

It isn't the first time WWE and Mortal Kombat have crossed over this year. Current Money In The Bank winner Penta made the movie mask of Shao Kahn a striking part of his entrance at WrestleMania!

Triple H wore similar attire at an earlier WrestleMania, while Zelina Vega entered the Royal Rumble in the style of Sindel in 2020, and Ronda Rousey took inspiration from her Mortal Kombat 11 role for a special entrance at the 2019 Elimination Chamber event. Scorpion was also the choice for another NXT up-and-comer when Kayden Carter went full hellspawn ninja for Halloween!

In a recent interview with GamesRadar+, Mortal Kombat 2 writer Jeremy Slater opened up about the challenging task of whittling down character selections for the highly anticipated sequel to the 2021 hit film. One notable absence from the final lineup is Tremor, a fan-favorite ninja who can control lava and metal.

Tremor made his debut in Mortal Kombat: Special Forces (2000) as a DLC character and has since become popular among the franchise's dedicated gamers. Slater acknowledged Tremor's popularity but emphasized that the creative team had to make tough decisions for the sake of storytelling.

Slater revealed that Tremor was initially considered for a role in Mortal Kombat 2 but ultimately cut due to not fitting naturally into the story. The character was set to fight with Sonya Blade, protrayed by Jessica McNamee. The original plan for the character was that he would've died while fighting Sonya Blade.

Slater stated he felt like incorporating Tremor wouldn't have allowed the script to develop the character properly. They isntead chose to replace Tremor's fight with Sindel, in order to give the character more screen time and add to the films emotional impact. Portrayed by Ana Thu Nguyen (The Hangover Part II, Crazy Rich Asians) Sindels role allowed the writers to demonstrate the change of Edenia's environment since Shao's conquest.

Mortal Kombat 2, directed by Simon McQuoid and starring Karl Urban as Johnny Cage, Martyn Ford as Shao Kahn, Jessica McNamee as Sonya Blade, Adeline Rudolph as Kitana, is in theaters now. Stay tuned to MKO News for all your Mortal Kombat updates!

The Mortal Kombat saga continues to captivate both gaming enthusiasts and Hollywood audiences. The latest installment, Mortal Kombat II, has sparked renewed excitement among fans, with an impressive cast stepping into iconic roles from the classic fighting game series.

Karl Urban's portrayal of Johnny Cage has been met with approval, as the character takes center stage in this sequel. But he's not alone; Adeline Rudolph (Kitana), Jessica McNamee (Sonya Blade), Josh Lawson (Kano), Mehcad Brooks (Jax), Lewis Tan (Cole Young) ,and Tati Gabrielle (Jade) also bring their unique talents to life on screen.

In an exclusive interview with ComicBook, screenwrite​r Jeremy Slater shared his thoughts on the character selections for Mortal Kombat II. When asked about the absence of fan-favorite villain Goro, Slater responded, "I don’t know if I would necessarily be chomping at the bit to sort of resurrect them, you know, just because they weren’t my version of the characters, and they don’t necessarily seem relevant or necessary to the stories that I’m trying to tell,"

Slater also expressed a preference for human martial artists over CGI monsters: "We’ve really sort of learned that you can make the fights a lot more visceral and a lot more satisfying when it’s human versus human. So I think Goro is a tough one because he’s very hard to do without incorporating a lot of CGI,"

Mortal Kombat II has received critical acclaim from both fans (89% audience score) and critics (65% critics' score), marking an improvement over the first film's ratings. In just one weekend in theaters, the sequel is only $21 million away from surpassing the box office earnings of its predecessor.

It seems that Mortal Kombat II has successfully adapted the classic fighting game formula for the big screen, giving fans a visceral and engaging cinematic experience while staying true to the spirit of the original source material.
