5 WWE Superstars and storylines that were inspired by Game of Thrones

#2 The Ember Moon character

While several Superstars have spoken about their love of the Game of Thrones television series in out-of-character interviews in recent years, Ember Moon proved herself to be WWE’s #1 fanatic during a 2016 interview when she revealed that her character is inspired by somebody from the Game of Thrones books.

She told the Miami Herald:

“I became heavily influenced by Game of Thrones with the book. When the show came along, I was all about that life, too, but there is one character who I loved in the book, and his name was Patchface. He’s a minor character who popped up.

“He’s the jester, fool character, playmate for Stannis’s daughter [Shireen Baratheon] in the book, but the cool thing about him is that he always speaks in tongues, and he’s very witty and been known to prophesy. That’s one thing that I absolutely love, the whole prophesy thing, being destined for something, because I do believe that everyone has a destiny. As long as you’re willing to rise to that challenge, you can make anything happen.”

If that was not proof enough that Moon is a die-hard Game of Thrones fan, her November 2018 wedding to independent wrestler Matthew Palmer had a GOT/Harry Potter theme!
