WWE SmackDown superstar Tye Dillinger has shown off his new look as he prepares to make his in-ring return under the WWE banner. The star of the blue brand showed off his new haircut and an all-black wardrobe in a recent photo that was posted to his official Twitter account.

As seen in the photo, the fan favorite star shaved off the sides of his hair and is sporting a short-hair mohawk with a full beard.


It was reported earlier this month that Dillinger is close to returning to the ring. Back in October, the company announced that he suffered a hand injury and had to undergo surgery as a result of it. According to the statement that was posted on the official website of the company, the SmackDown star suffered the injury while competing at a live event in Macon, GA at the Macon Centreplex. At this show, he lost to Shelton Benjamin in a singles match.

The announcement came just a few hours before he was supposed to challenge then-champion Shinsuke Nakamura for the United States Championship on the blue branded show in Atlanta, GA. R-Truth would later replace him.

According to the report, Dillinger is slated to return to the road for WWE within the next several weeks.
