10 WWE Wrestlers Who Are Almost Unrecognisable Since Debuting

If you're looking for a better example of someone going from day to night, then you won't find one.

Ripley is a perfect example of how far change can take you. She started her WWE career as a bright presence but has turned into a dark and dangerous monster, and it's brought her critical acclaim, popularity, and the Raw Women's Championship.

It's time to return to the world of the Mae Young Classic now, with a veteran of the tournament. Ripley made her debut for the company in the inaugural tournament, and she was far from what we know now. She sported bright colours, long blonde hair and a smiling, optimistic attitude that made her an upbeat babyface.

Nowadays, that side of her is gone, as when she returned to the second Mae Young Classic, she'd changed completely. She appeared with shortened hair, dark make-up, a black leather outfit and a new disrespectful attitude that made her intimidating. This was such a dramatic change that it was easy to feel like you'd never seen her before.

The rest is history now, as she took this new look and used it to become the first NXT UK Women's Champion, a dominant NXT Women's Champion and is now reigning with the red brand's top women's prize. She doesn't look set to slow down anytime soon.
