WWE legend Shawn Michaels shocked fans after he was pictured without his signature wavy locks.
Michaels, 58, rose to fame in the 1990s, winning every major WWE title during his career, but the star was known for more than just his in-ring success.
He became known for his iconic look, with his long wavy hair becoming an important part of his identity.
But wrestling fans were shocked after a balding Michaels was spotted backstage chatting with Seth Rollins, who looks the same.
Michaels has donned a hat when attending public events, presumably to mask his thinning hair.

He previously wowed fans in 2018 when he shaved his hair for his role in the movie 90 Feet From Home.
“I did this independent movie in Texas where I played a younger version with my hair and then I played an older version of myself getting sick and everything else, so that’s why I ended up shaving it for the movie,” he said through The Sun.
“And it was getting thinner there anyway, man, so it was better to just chop it off.”
He joked that he would instinctively reach for a hair tie after shaving off his locks.
“I still have muscle memory. I still go there to take off my hair tie before I hop in the shower or wash my hair,” he added.

“Hunter (Triple H) told me that after he cut his hair, he was still reaching for the hair tie for a month.
“So there’s a lot of muscle memory stuff I have to take care of.”
But despite his drastic new look, Michaels couldn’t believe his fans’ shock.
“Jesus, it’s just a stupid haircut,” he said. “On the one hand, you’re like, ‘Oh my god, let’s get to grips,’ but on the other, you’re like, ‘Well, at least you’re a big deal if your haircut becomes news.'”
