WWE SmackDown opened on Friday night with the nWo (Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, and X-Pac) joining Alexa Bliss for her “Moment of Bliss” segment. Almost instantly, the internet reacted to X-Pac’s new look.
Wrestling fans knew X-Pac, real name Sean Waltman, for his long hair over the years. Whether he was wrestling as the 1-2-3 Kid, Syxx, or X-Pac, one always saw him with that long hair. Not so anymore. He appeared on SmackDown with a somewhat shaved head (still a pony tail in the back), sunglasses, and full beard.

The segment ended up breaking down, as Sami Zayn, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Cesaro came out to interrupt things. At one point, it looked like X-Pac might throw down.
The segment ended with Braun Strowman emerging from backstage and doing what he does best: destroying things.
