Former WWE star shows off new look in AEW

A former WWE Superstar has shown off a new look during his appearance tonight on AEW Collision. This was a change seemingly made after a year of having his usual one. This would be Roderick Strong.

The Messiah of the Backbreaker did not do anything new, but he finally shaved his mustache after a year. Since his AEW debut last year, he has had his usual look of having his facial hair on full display. This was also a look he sported in NXT in his runs with The Undisputed Era.

Halfway into this year, he made one minor change as he shaved his beard but kept the mustache. He has kept this iconic look for the entire year. However, tonight, he made another change and got rid of the mustache.

During a backstage segment with the rest of The Undisputed Kingdom, Roderick Strong spoke about his match later tonight against Shane Taylor and how a win would bring him closer to fulfilling MJF's requirements for a match at AEW Full Gear.

He was shown to have a clean look, with him getting rid of all his facial hair. This was a look he had during his early days of NXT as a major babyface. This may be intentional, as his faction has shifted to being more like babyfaces.
