Bald! There are many things that AEW star Ricochet and The Rock have in common. They're both one-in-a-million athletes. They both have myriad tattoos. They're both former Intercontinental Champions. And, yes, they're both bald.
Ricochet's recent gimmick in AEW focuses on his lack of hair follicles and if anyone knows about embracing one's baldness, it's The Rock. The Rock battled his male pattern baldness for a few years in the early 2000's, before finally embracing the look. Now, it's one of The Rock's signature attributes, much like it is Ricochet's.
Perhaps that's why Ricochet offered some well wishes to Dwayne Johnson on Twitter/X.
Happy Birthday to the -- and fellow bald King.@TheRock --------

AEW Owner Tony Khan recently praised Ricochet and the evolution of his character.
"He’s one of the most compelling and interesting people in wrestling in my personal opinion. You ask wrestling fans all over the world to name a top 20, if you asked a million fans, you’d probably get 999,999 different top 20s. I think it’s important to see it’s all in the eye of the beholder, but Ricochet is one of the top stars to me right now," Khan told Josh Martinez of Z100 New York.
