10 WWE Stars Who Have Completely Changed Since Their Debuts

5. Dean Ambrose

Dean Ambrose

Debut: 2011 in FCW, then as a member of The Shield alongside Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns in 2012.

How He's Changed: Anyone who watched the latest episode of Raw couldn't fail to notice how much Dean Ambrose has grown in the eight-nine months he was on the injured list. Side-by-side, his FCW promo pic hardly looks like the same man.

Ambrose has developed his shoulder muscles, bulked out those arms, beaten his rapidly diminishing hairline with a cool cut and grown out some facial hair. In short, the Ambrose of 2018 looks a lot more like someone who might be committed to an 'Ambrose Asylum' than the one from 2011.

He's different from The Shield version too. Back then, Dean had slicked back hair and less muscle. His dedication to the gym and determination to show he wasn't resting on his laurels will hopefully be rewarded with another main event run at some point.
