10 Year Challenge: 5 current WWE stars who were unrecognizable a decade ago

#2. Nia Jax

Nia Jax has changed her appearance quite a lot over the past 10 years

Nia Jax hasn't been seen on WWE TV since the last WrestleMania, where she and Tamina Snuka were unsuccessful in winning the fatal four-way match for the Women's Tag Team Championships (which The IIconics won). Jax was forced to undergo double-knee surgery after it was revealed that she had ACL tears in both her legs and has since been in recovery mode, awaiting a chance to return to squared circle.

Ten years ago though, she was a plus-size model and seems to have bulked up in order to 'look the part' for WWE.

She is another wrestler who came in through the NXT set up and was later promoted to the main roster after learning the ropes in the developmental territory. In recent years, she is seen as a main cast member on Total Divas.
