- Several WWE Superstars met the original Johnny Cage, Daniel Pesina, at Wednesday's WWE live event in Chicago. Pesina also played Sub Zero, Scorpion, Smoke, Reptile and Noob Saibot in the original Mortal Kombat video games. He also helped create the first two Mortal Kombat games.

Below are photos of Pesina with The New Day, The Miz, Shelton Benjamin and Zelina Vega, who paid tribute to Pesina during her match with Andrade "Cien" Almas against Carmella and R-Truth. Pesina wrote, "@zelina_vegawwe thank you! one of the best moments of last night. While fighting she looked directly at me, clenched her free hand while holding her opponent with her other hand & yelled "Finish Her"!!"

Last night, I met @masterdpesina. He is the man who played Johnny Cage, Sub Zero, Scorpion, Reptile, Smoke and Noob Saibot in the ORIGINAL Mortal Kombat and Mortal Kombat 2.

As a lifelong fan of the @mortalkombat franchise, getting to pick his brain and ask him questions about the creation of the franchise, was beyond awesome.

It culminated with him signing a Johnny Cage pic for me, just like Johnny Cage does in the game for a "Friendship"...this pretty much means that we're friends! What a surreal experience.
