A former member of the Spirit Squad in WWE now looks completely unrecognizable. The star in question hasn't competed for the promotion since 2016.

Mike Mondo used to be a member of the Spirit Squad in the promotion and competed under the name "Mikey." The Spirit Squad was a faction of fictional male cheerleaders, and former WWE Superstar Dolph Ziggler, who now competes as Nic Nemeth, was a member of the group.

Mondo has remained active in the independent wrestling scene since he departed from the company and is currently the reigning NWA National Heavyweight Champion. The veteran took to social media to share an image of himself while he was a member of the Spirit Squad and his current physique. The champion is in phenomenal shape, and you can check out his update in the post below.

"REBRANDED…REBUILT…REBORN!! #itsgutchecktime #nwa #nationalchamp," he wrote.

Mondo returned to WWE in 2016 for a short storyline with Dolph Ziggler before returning to independent wrestling. He defeated Mims at NWA Powerrr to capture the NWA National Heavyweight Championship in August 2025.

Mike Mondo reveals he had a crush on a former WWE star

Wrestling veteran Mike Mondo shared that he used to have a crush on former WWE Women's Champion Victoria.

In an interview with Rene Dupree on the Cafe de Rene podcast, Mondo revealed that he was always a huge fan of Victoria and complimented her personality. He also noted that he found her attractive and praised her work in the ring.

"Oh man, I mean I've always been a big fan of Victoria, you know. Yeah, she's always, yeah, she always did it for Mikey Mondo. I've always been very attracted to her. Very beautiful lady and she's like cool, you know what I mean? She's like one of the boys, like she's like, I don't know, she's just has a great personality, you know. And she can wrestle. She can work. You know, she's an all-around straight A in my opinion," he said.

Let me be CLEAR. There is only ONE NWA & there is only one PRESTIGIOUS National Championship that holds legit lineage & has for decades. So to Tony Khan or anyone else confused… here’s the legit title, with the company it belongs to & the legit National Champion! MY NAME IS MIKE

It will be interesting to see how long Mike Mondo can remain the NWA National Heavyweight Champion moving forward.
