Detroit Lions

Lions’ Jahmyr Gibbs and his girlfriend channel former WWE champions for Halloween

Halfway through the NFL season, the Detroit Lions are chasing their first-ever Super Bowl title, still seeking that elusive championship in over six decades. Looking to add some fun — and maybe a little luck — running back Jahmyr Gibbs and his girlfriend, model Nicole Anderson, showed up to the team’s Halloween party dressed as former WWE champions Jeff Hardy and Lita.

Anderson posted a photo of the duo on her Instagram story, featuring Gibbs rocking Hardy’s trademark face paint, ripped sleeves, and signature hand signs. He also wore a WWE Championship replica belt, while Anderson sported her own Women’s World Championship title to complete the look.

Gibbs is a longtime WWE fan, even having attended one of the company’s live events earlier this year. He and Anderson were spotted ringside when “WWE Raw” came to Detroit’s Little Caesars Arena on July 28. Though just 23 years old — too young to have watched Team X-Treme’s original run — the Pro Bowl back clearly appreciates their legacy and style.

While Jeff Hardy and Lita were never romantically involved, Lita did date Jeff’s brother Matt. At the Lions’ Halloween bash, it didn’t appear that anyone came as the other Hardy brother, though other players donned costumes inspired by “Dune,” “Stranger Things,” and “Game of Thrones,” among other pop culture favorites.

Through seven games this season, Gibbs has been excellent for Detroit, racking up over 500 rushing yards and scoring seven touchdowns. The speedy back led the entire league in rushing touchdowns last year with 16, and he’s showing no signs of slowing down in 2025.
