WWE's chapter of the great, esteemed Bald Community just gained a new member - and his name is Rusev.

'The Bulgarian Brute' debuted a new look on his Instagram story on Sunday evening (h/t Reddit user u/Mikeo_Owens for bringing this to our attention), joining the likes of Goldberg, Steve Austin, Karl Anderson, Luke Gallows, and more in saying "eff you" to hair follicles and going full cueball.

Suits him, doesn't it?

Rusev's WWE career is currently on ice. His last televised appearance came on the 17 February episode of Monday Night Raw, where he teamed with Humberto Carrillo in a loss to Bobby Lashley and Angel Garza. He was then pulled from a scheduled appearance at Super ShowDown 2020 amidst talks that he was in a contract dispute with WWE, as his current deal is set to expire later this year, though he is also suffering from an injury at the moment.

Whatever the case, the divisive "love square" storyline with Lana, Liv Morgan, and Bobby Lashley is now long dead, and Rusev's wrestling future shall remain up in the air until he either leaves WWE or confirmation of a new contract comes through.
