AEW star Ricochet took to social media on May 2nd/3rd to wish Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson a happy birthday, playfully acknowledging a shared physical characteristic that has become part of Ricochet’s current on-screen persona.
Ricochet, who has recently embraced a heel character in AEW often referencing his own lack of hair, tweeted a message directly to the WWE legend and Hollywood megastar. “Happy Birthday to the — and fellow bald King. @TheRock —-—-” Ricochet wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
The message highlights a commonality between the two performers, both former WWE Intercontinental Champions known for incredible athleticism. While The Rock embraced his now-signature bald look years ago after battling male pattern baldness, Ricochet has more recently incorporated his own baldness into his arrogant heel gimmick in AEW.
This lighthearted birthday wish comes at a time when Ricochet’s character work is receiving significant praise, including recent commendations from AEW President Tony Khan, who called him one of the best characters and top stars in wrestling today.
