10 WWE Wrestlers Who Are Almost Unrecognisable Since Debuting

10. Raquel Gonzalez

It took Gonzalez a fair bit of time to find her footing in WWE and what look she wanted to go with. Her initial time with the company took place in the Mae Young Classic tournaments, which acted as an excellent way for the company to introduce some new faces to the scene and build no stars.

Gonzalez began her WWE career as Reina Gonzalez. She lost in the first round to Nicole Savoy and had the same result in the second tournament against Kacy Catanzaro. During this time, she sported some bright colours and even an eyepatch for her first match. While she was a monster, she felt incredibly rough around the edges.

Now, she's become a dangerous enforcer on the NXT women's roster. Her new attitude and look came as she re-debuted with the company, siding with Dakota Kai at NXT TakeOver: Portland and eventually acting as Kai's monster bodyguard. This big change was impressive, and it even led her to a tonne of championship gold, including being one half of the first NXT Tag Team Women's Champion and the current NXT Women's Champion.

Besides her new look, she's also grown in confidence regarding her in-ring work, which has shaped Gonzalez differently from her humble beginnings.
