Aussie tennis duo Nick Kyrgios and Thanasi Kokkinakis are celebrating WrestleMania season in style, with WWE sending the pair custom title belts.
After their recent Australian Open doubles success, becoming the first all-Aussie team to win the title on home soil since 1997, the pair have earned worldwide praise for their high-octane and entertaining style.
Their success has also caught the eye of WWE, who will be marking their biggest-ever WrestleMania event this coming weekend, with the pro wrestling juggernaut sending the stars their own custom belts.
