10 Times WWE Absolutely Nailed A Wrestler's Presentation

10. Io Shirai

Io Shirai's time with WWE was rather mundane at first. She had a moderately cool attire, with a traditional mask accessory that reflected the Japanese scene where she rose to prominence, but her presentation in the Sky Pirates and her singles run were rather uninventive. Thankfully, that all changed after Shirai introduced a new attitude, and look.

On the June 26th episode of NXT in 2019, Io turned heel and attacked her former friend Candice LeRae, and WWE did a fantastic job of taking Shirai in this new direction. Her completely black leather outfit and new entrance theme were utterly chaotic and captured an anarchic vibe which made Shirai look thoroughly intimidating. This all worked incredibly well with the unique mannerisms she brought to her entrance, as she stormed to the ring in a manic fashion, looking like a woman on the warpath.

Another simple feature that helped this was the decision to use strobe lighting. It completely synchronised with the new presentation and gave her entrances a special attraction vibe. The company even went one step further, by giving her a few special appearances with the popular star Poppy. These still rank as some of NXT's coolest musical entrances and prove that Shirai has some of the most fantastic presentation in the company.
