Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs just proved he doesn’t only bring highlight-reel energy on the football field — he brings it to Halloween too. This year, the Lions’ offensive spark plug turned heads online with a WWE-inspired costume that had fans doing double takes.
A WWE Throwback Done Right
Gibbs went full Jeff Hardy mode — makeup, arm sleeves, championship belt, and that unmistakable swagger. In a video shared by his girlfriend Nicole Anderson, the Lions star nailed Hardy’s legendary entrance dance to perfection.
It wasn’t just a costume; it was a performance. Gibbs brought the same intensity he shows on game day — only this time, instead of breaking tackles, he was breaking out Hardy’s iconic moves.
And Anderson? She played her part flawlessly, showing up as Lita, Hardy’s longtime WWE tag partner and one of the most beloved female wrestlers of all time. Together, they delivered a couple’s costume that might’ve just stolen Halloween 2025.
Fans Lose It Over the Accuracy
Social media lit up the moment the video dropped. Fans flooded the comments with praise — calling it the “best Halloween fit of the year” and saying Gibbs “needs to walk out to Jeff Hardy’s theme next Sunday.”
It’s not every day you see an NFL star channel a WWE legend so perfectly, and the internet made sure he got his flowers.
From the Ring to the Field: Gibbs’ Season So Far
While his Halloween costume was pure entertainment, Gibbs’ season is no joke. The Lions’ RB is ninth in the NFL with 526 rushing yards and six touchdowns, adding another 194 yards through the air.
Coming off a 1,400-yard, 16-touchdown season in 2024, Gibbs has already proven he’s one of the most electric young players in football. His mix of agility, speed, and swagger feels fitting for someone who just dressed up as Jeff Hardy — a man famous for fearlessness and flair.
A Power Couple in the Spotlight
Anderson, who’s a social media influencer and model, has become a familiar face to Lions fans. Her gameday posts have landed her brand collaborations — including with New Era Cap, where she’s featured alongside other NFL partners.
Together, the two continue to give fans a glimpse of life off the field — from locker room wins to Halloween moments that show just how fun (and stylish) this Lions duo really is.
Final Thought: Lions Star With WWE Vibes
If Jeff Hardy’s mantra was about “living for the moment,” then Jahmyr Gibbs is doing exactly that — both on and off the gridiron. His Halloween tribute wasn’t just a costume — it was a reminder that confidence, creativity, and passion translate anywhere, whether it’s between the ropes or between the hash marks.
One thing’s for sure: Detroit’s got its own high-flying showman, and he just delivered a Swanton Bomb of style for Halloween 2025.
