Geez, whatever gave you that idea? Do you think that because both characters have the title of "The Monkey King," or that they use the same type of weapon (an elongating staff), maybe that they both ride on a cloud named Nimbus? Or did his death animation tip you off (turning to stone, when Sun Wukong was born from a stone)? Or his passive, Stone skin? Or maybe, was it the fact that the Chinese classic skin art has a water dragon (possibly the one which ate Xuanzang's mount in the book)?

Anyway, I don't think they based the champ on Sun Wukong. Must be coincidences.
