Zack Ryder shaves off his beard while recuperating from knee surgery

Just weeks after going under the knife to repair an in-ring knee injury, Zack Ryder decided to go under the razor to shave off his now-signature (and insanely thick) beard.

“Zack Daddy” took his Instagram followers through the face-shearing process late Wednesday night, revealing a finished product that gave us some serious Major Brothers flashbacks.

But don’t worry: Your Hype Bros WWEmoji stickers aren’t out of date. Long Island Iced-Z has no intention of keeping the clean-shaven look, remarking that “it’ll grow back in a week.”

 

Losing my mind......and my beard (for now...it'll grow back in a week)
