Johnny TV unveiled a striking new appearance following his recent international match on February 27, 2026. Participating in a high-stakes hair vs. hair bout at Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), he suffered a defeat to Angel de Oro, resulting in the compulsory shaving of his trademark hair.
The match concluded with Angel de Oro delivering a decisive frog splash that secured his victory, immediately followed by Johnny TV’s hair being shaved off in accordance with the match’s stipulation. This dramatic moment marked the end of Johnny’s long-haired persona, revealing a bald new look.
Context of Johnny TV’s Career and Current Alliances

He is allied with the MXM Collection, a trio including Mansoor and Mason Madden, collectively known as MxM TV. This alignment has been a key part of his recent appearances and storylines.
While it has not yet been confirmed whether this fresh hairstyle will be showcased on AEW or ROH television soon, the notable change signals the conclusion of the era defined by Johnny’s long locks—for now.
