He debuted the look at last Friday’s NXT live event in Tampa, Florida, where he made Fabian Aichner submit via armbar.

For those unfamiliar with Jaoude, here is how he looked before.
Jaoude joined WWE in October 2015 as part of a class that included Tough Enough winners Josh Bredl and Sara Lee, as well as Rich Swann and Oney Lorcan. Though he may not have had professional wrestling experience like some of his peers, the Brazilian athlete had plenty of familiarity with the amateur style of grappling. The 6-foot-2, 220-pounder competed at the state, regional and national level, and was named Best Brazilian Wrestler in the junior category in 2000 and the senior category in 2005, 2006, 2007, 2010 and 2012. That pedigree helped him pick up the pro game when he arrived at the WWE Performance Center.
He made his in-ring debut in July 2016 and now has approximately 50 matches under his belt, with almost all of them taking place at NXT live events in Florida. He has yet to appear on television.
– In the first-ever WWE pay-per-view to be headlined by a Women’s division match, Sasha Banks and Charlotte clash for the Raw Women’s Championship inside Hell in a Cell. Today, WWE posted the match in its entirety.
