Who is Hammerhead? 

Hammerhead was the first contestant to appear on the premiere of the show. The contestant was dressed in a hammerhead shark's mask and paired it up with flashy gym clothes and completed his look with a huge gold chain. He broke into an energetic performance to the popular song, Everybody by Backstreet Boys, with his back-up dancers following his lead.

According to a report by Meaww, Hammerhead gave hints like he was a workaholic, got famous too quickly, and also hinted at his swimming skills. He also used the newly-introduced feature called ‘Word Up’ where contestants can use one word in their original voice to give hints to the panelists. He opted for the word ‘dramatic’ to which Brian said, “Maybe you are not a trained dancer but definitely an entertainer” adding that Hammerhead might be Zac Efron. Paula added that Hammerhead might be Nial Horan or maybe Joe Jonas.
