Stephen Nedoroscik and Rylee Arnold were totally ready to light up the “Dancing With the Stars” stage! They kicked things off with a fun routine to “Don’t Stop Me Now,” scoring a cool 21/30 in the first round. Their energy was contagious, especially during that lively Paso Doble to the Superman theme—talk about a showstopper! But then, bam! No performance last week. But why?

Here’s the deal! The show didn’t air on October 1, and it was for a pretty big reason. The vice presidential debate between Governor Tim Walz and Senator J.D. Vance was the main event, so they paused the usual programming. Even though CBS was running the debate, all networks like to switch things up to make room for these national happenings. But no sweat for Stephen and Rylee! They’re super pumped for their next performance, and Rylee even gave fans a sneak peek of Stephen’s look, getting everyone hyped for what’s next!

On October 4, Rylee Arnold hopped on Instagram and shared a reel with Stephen, who was totally rocking this rockstar vibe! She captioned it, “We are getting into character for hair metal night on @dancingwiththestars 😂😂😂 makeup and fit by me, Steve this is a great look on you!!!” Seriously, they’re all in for that glam night, and Rylee’s playful flair just amps up the fun.

In this funny reel, Stephen Nedoroscik stands with his back to the camera, and Rylee spins him around to reveal his epic rockstar look! Decked out in a killer rockstar costume, a crazy wig, a guitar, and a full face of makeup, he’s totally rocking that vibe. Honestly, he looks like a legit rockstar!

And the fans? Oh, they were absolutely buzzing with shock and excitement over Stephen’s killer new look! One user just couldn’t hold back, commenting, “OH. MY GOD.” Seriously, who could blame them? Watching Stephen Nedoroscik pull off this total rockstar transformation right after absolutely crushing it on the pommel horse at the Paris Olympics is just wild! It’s like a whole new vibe, and everyone’s loving it! And trust me, this is just the start of the hilarious and surprised comments pouring in!

Fans go crazy over Stephen Nedoroscik’s rockstar vibe!

Just a little while back, Stephen Nedoroscik was making waves at the Olympics, helping the U.S. team break a 16-year medal drought with that shiny bronze in the team and on the pommel horse. And now? Well, the gymnastics hero found himself in this wild and hilarious getup, totally out of his comfort zone! In a playful twist, he even hopped into the comments to say, “I’m down for anything”—a nod to the naive Steve from just a month ago, who never would’ve guessed he’d be rocking this look! What a glow-up!

One fan jumped into the comments, playfully declaring, “Gene Simmons twin for sure!” And honestly, who could blame them? Gene Simmons, the legendary American rock musician and bass player for the iconic band Kiss, has that unmistakable rockstar vibe, and Stephen is totally channeling that energy! With his wild look and rocking’ spirit, you can definitely see the resemblance—Stephen is serving up some serious rockstar realness, just like Simmons!
