WHEEL of Fortune fans were left grappling with a WWE star's decision to wear a crop top on Friday's episode.

Austin Theory and his teammate may not have won the weeklong special but his revealing look had Twitter in a headlock.

Wheel of Fortune hit the mat this week with a special WWE tournament.

Each night, three regular players were paired with pro wrestlers, and the top three highest-scoring teams went head-to-head on Friday.

Austin Theory and Ray advanced having won on Tuesday.

The charismatic Big E. (who during his first appearance flirted with Vanna White) and Ben advanced on Wednesday.

Natalya and her partner Grant advancing having won on Thursday.

Yet even Pat Sajak, 76, could not ignore Austin's outfit.

The star wore a halter top that cut off at his torso and displayed his entire abs, and had a frilled schoolboy-style collar to boot.

Pat said: “I have to ask you. Did you have to work as hard as I did to get the abs in that kind of shape?"

“It took some time,” Austin replied to which Pat joked: “I'll bet."

'THIRST TRAP ON WHEEL OF FORTUNE'

Viewers spun to Twitter where they were all talking about Austin's little number which would have been bold for any TV appearance, and a lot of fans weren't hating it.

"Austin Theory on Wheel of Fortune right now," one user wrote.

"I'm crying it's the halter top for me!" wrote another.

"There is a man in a crop top on Wheel of Fortune, I would watch this every day if that happened," wrote a third.

"Gotta look at Theory in a belly shirt tonight," wrote a fourth also enjoying the choice.

"It looks like the airline lost Austin’s luggage and he had to wear his eight-year-old daughters t-shirt," joked a fourth.

"I feel like we should take up a collection to buy that boy a shirt," tore a fifth.

"Those abs are smoking hot !!" yet another wrote as one more piled on the surprise: "Who’s the guy in the crop top?"

Others tweeted: "This Austin man is really like, I'm just here to look fine af" and "omgd I cannot Austin Theory straight thirst trapping on Wheel Of Fortune."

WWE SPECIAL ENDS WITH RARE FAIL

Grant and Natalya won out with an impressive $54K - emerging as the victors of the entire week.

That said, they lost the bonus round and no one won it all week, which was a first for the game show- fans claimed.

They chose “Events” as their bonus round category and couldn't guess “Joyous Occasions” - they lost also out on a Ford for a second time this week, which hurt to watch.

Viewers were also disappointed as no bonus round victories in a week hasn't happened before.

"No bonus round winner this week for the first ever in history we have a shutout… sorry everyone! Better luck next time!" one fan tweeted on that front.

"Too bad nobody can solve the bonus round with WWE Stars," lamented another on the wild special's conclusion.
