Kit Wilson has offered a clearer picture of the James Bond-inspired WWE character concept he previously pitched, outlining an entrance, wardrobe and in-ring presentation built around his British identity and longtime affection for the iconic spy franchise.
Wilson first referenced the idea during an appearance on Cody Rhodes’ What Do You Wanna Talk About? podcast in May. Speaking more recently on the Battleground Podcast, he expanded on how far he wanted to take the concept, including a possible haircut and an entrance designed to establish the character before he ever got into the ring.
“I hate to say it, but it probably involves me trimming some of this hair,” Wilson said. “Maybe a similar style to what I got now, but just chop that off right there. I mean, if you’re English, if you’re British, you’re a Bond guy. I’ve got a sentimental love with Bond.”
The proposed look would have been a significant stylistic choice for Wilson, who has been recognizable in part through his longer hair. Rather than simply putting on formal attire for a one-off entrance, his description suggests he was considering a complete presentation with a more tailored visual identity.

Wilson said he wanted to embrace the concept “the whole suit,” with an entrance that communicated the character’s influence immediately. He described seeing himself arriving on the ramp in a jacket and shirt, removing both pieces as he made his way to the ring, then wrestling in black suit trousers.
“I wanted to go the whole suit. I wanted a very Bond-esque entrance. I could see myself walking down the ramp, taking off the jacket, taking off the shirt, and I would just wrestle with what I have in the black suit trousers.”
The pitch was not framed as a literal James Bond portrayal or an announcement of a new WWE persona. Instead, Wilson’s comments centered on using the cool, polished and distinctly British qualities associated with the character as creative inspiration. The difference is important: Wilson was discussing a presentation idea, not confirming that WWE has approved or plans to introduce it on television.
A Character Pitch Built Around Presentation
Character pitches are a familiar part of professional wrestling, especially for performers trying to distinguish themselves in an increasingly crowded environment. The most effective ideas often begin with an instantly understandable visual: a wrestler’s gear, entrance, posture, music or mannerisms can tell viewers who that person is before the first lockup.
Wilson’s concept was rooted in that principle. A suit-based entrance would give him a clear silhouette, while the act of removing the jacket and shirt could create a deliberate transition from a refined, composed figure to a competitor ready for a match. Keeping the black suit trousers on for the bout would extend the visual beyond the stage and make the character’s core idea part of the in-ring image.
That sort of continuity can matter. A wrestling persona is often strongest when its entrance, gear, movement and attitude all point in the same direction. In Wilson’s case, the Bond influence would not need to rely on a direct reference in order to come across. A sharply dressed entrance, a controlled demeanor and formal black ring attire could communicate the broad idea without turning it into a costume imitation.
His remarks also show that he was thinking beyond a generic “British wrestler” identity. Wilson specifically tied the idea to his own cultural connection with Bond, saying that being English and British makes someone “a Bond guy.” He described having a sentimental love for the franchise, making the concept personal as well as practical.
The Importance of a Distinctive WWE Identity
For a WWE performer, an identifiable individual presentation can be especially valuable as television audiences are introduced to new acts, reintroduced to familiar ones or asked to see talent in a different light. The audience has limited time to understand a character’s personality and place on the roster. A strong visual premise can give that process a head start.
The appeal of Wilson’s proposed approach is its simplicity. It does not depend on elaborate props, extensive explanation or a complicated backstory. The essential elements are easy to recognize: formal clothing, British confidence and an entrance designed with a sleek spy-film sensibility. That can leave room for Wilson’s own personality to determine whether the character would come across as heroic, arrogant, calculating, charming or some combination of those traits.
It would also provide a contrast with more conventional wrestling gear. Black trunks, tights and kick pads remain common across the industry because they are functional and familiar. Suit trousers, if adapted for competition, would immediately set a wrestler apart visually. Wilson’s image of entering in a full suit before stripping down to the trousers is an example of how wardrobe can create a memorable pre-match ritual.
At the same time, Wilson’s comments made clear that this was a pitch rather than an established direction. WWE creative plans can evolve, and ideas discussed in interviews do not necessarily become on-screen material. There has been no confirmation in Wilson’s remarks that the Bond-esque concept will be used, when it might appear, or what form it could take if it does move forward.
Wilson Also Names a WrestleMania Music Wish
Elsewhere in the discussion, Wilson addressed another major presentation dream: he said he would love to have BLACKPINK perform his entrance at WrestleMania.
That aspiration fits the larger theme of Wilson’s comments. Both the Bond-style character pitch and the BLACKPINK WrestleMania wish reflect an interest in making an entrance feel like a full event rather than a basic walk to the ring. WrestleMania has a long history of featured live performances and larger-than-life entrances, making it the natural stage for a performer to imagine the most ambitious version of his presentation.
There is no indication that such a performance has been planned. Wilson was expressing what he would like to see happen, not revealing a WrestleMania booking or musical arrangement. Still, the choice underscores the scale he has in mind when discussing his professional goals and how he wants his character to be perceived.
Live music, cinematic staging and specialized attire have all been used at WrestleMania to give matches and stars an extra sense of importance. For Wilson, a BLACKPINK performance would represent the sort of high-profile moment that can elevate an entrance into a defining career image. His suit-centered concept, meanwhile, would give him a distinctive foundation on which a major-event entrance could be built.
What Comes Next for the Idea
Wilson has now provided enough detail for fans to visualize the character he had in mind: shorter hair, a tailored suit, a measured and stylish entrance, the removal of the outer layers on the way to the ring, and black suit trousers for the match itself. It is a specific vision with a straightforward aesthetic, but it remains only a vision unless it is ultimately brought to WWE programming.
His willingness to discuss the pitch publicly also offers insight into the thought process behind a wrestler’s creative development. The best concepts are not always the loudest or most complicated. Sometimes the goal is to find a presentation that feels authentic to the performer while providing viewers with a memorable image. Wilson’s attachment to Bond gives the idea a personal foundation, and the suit-based design supplies a recognizable hook.
Whether the 007-esque direction is ever realized, Wilson has made the intended appeal clear. He does not merely want to wear formal clothing; he wants to present himself with the confidence, style and cinematic flair associated with one of Britain’s most enduring pop-culture figures. If the concept ever reaches the screen, the entrance alone would be central to making that first impression land.
