Pokemon Go is everywhere these days and the mobile game is slowly infiltrating all aspects of pop culture. It even managed to enter the world of professional wrestling.
Check out Xavier Woods’ speech on Monday night’s WWE Raw.

Woods’ oration was not simply a scripted attempt to piggyback on a cultural phenomenon either. The wrestler backed up his Pokemon credentials by tweeting out just how seriously he takes his Pokemon Go.

This is not the first time Woods and his crew have signaled their love for Japanese children’s cartoons. They once came out dressed in full Dragon Ball Z cosplay.
