Video: Top Five NXT Superstars Whose Looks Have Changed

The more people change, the more different they are. NXT has become one of the most entertaining wrestling promotions in the world, with a rabid fan base and some of the strongest matches wrestling has seen in years. It also has some incredible characters who have gotten over with the fans in a big way. However, some of them might not be as you remember them, at least to start.

Who is that?

Superstars' first looks that you won't believe: NXT Top 5, Nov. 25, 2018

WWE has released a new video looking at the Top 5 NXT Superstars with First Looks You Won’t Believe. The idea is looking at wrestlers whose looks have changed dramatically over the years. Each of the five are known by their same name today (or at least very close) and the focus is entirely on their look rather than a different gimmick. After all of the original looks, the modern look is shown for a comparison.

Opinion: This kind of thing is always cool to see as you really do have some different people in very different looks over the years. Some of them are almost unrecognizable and while you know who the others are, you never would guess what kind of a career they would have based on how they looked in the first place. That can be very interesting and proof that a first impression isn’t everything in wrestling.

Which of these is the most striking change? Who did WWE leave off of the list? Let us know in the comments below.
