Many WWE Superstars endure a lengthy phase between signing for the company and making their debut. Whilst several stars debut on TV within a year of signing, others have to develop a brand new character and completely change their image.
It's harder for women to stand out in the wrestling business since there are only so many slots on each show. The women on the current roster have pushed forward the Women's Revolution, and several are now unrecognizable when compared to their debut many years ago.
The following list looks at just five current female WWE Superstars who have undergone incredible image makeovers.

#5. WWE RAW Women's Champion Rhea Ripley
Trending
Rhea Ripley has only been on WWE's radar for around four years after making her official WWE debut as part of the inaugural Mae Young Classic. Ripley was just 20 years old at the time and looked very different from the RAW Women's Champion that the WWE Universe has become fond of.
When the Australian star made her debut, she sported long blonde hair and bright attire. After being compared to current WWE star Charlotte several times in her early days, Ripley decided to take drastic action.
When Ripley returned to the company the following year to take part in the second annual Classic, she had dyed her hair and began wearing the attire that she has now become more associated with.
It wasn't until a little later in her career that the star decided to chop off her long hair and truly became The Nightmare. Ripley's current image has allowed her to stand out from the women in the locker room.
It's likely that Ripley believed that she would just be seen as just another blonde female wrestler if she had retained her look from her debut. When the images from 2017 and 2021 are compared, it's hard to recognize the woman now known as The Nightmare.
#4. Former WWE Women's Champion Sasha Banks
Sasha Banks has dominated WWE's main roster since her debut in 2015 and has gone through several different image changes.
When Banks debuted on NXT a few years earlier, she had a different look. "The Boss" character was still in its infancy. In the following years, Banks has lifted several Women's Championships and proved that she is one of the greatest female wrestlers of all time.
When she debuted, Banks had her natural hair color. However, she later went dyed it purple to fit in with her character, and presumably to stand out on the main roster.
After taking a break a few years ago, the former Women's Champion made her return to Monday Night RAW with bright blue hair for the first time. She has since retained this look since.
When the images from Banks' debut and her current look are put next to each other, it's hard to believe that they're the same person.
#3. Former WWE Tough Enough competitor Mandy Rose
Mandy Rose first appeared on WWE programming in 2015 as part of Tough Enough.
Rose, alongside Sonya Deville, are the only stars remaining in the company following that stint, with Rose becoming the female runner-up behind Sara Lee.
Over the past six years, Rose has climbed the ranks in WWE, which has included stints on NXT, SmackDown, and RAW. The superstar is yet to lift a championship, but has already made quite an impression in the women's division.
Rose has also undergone several character changes, which meant she's unrecognizable when compared with her debut in the company almost six years ago.
The woman who was once known as The Golden Goddess has now joined forces with Dana Brooke after she was given a makeover by Sonya Deville last year. Rose lost most of her golden locks as part of their deeply personal storyline, but seems to have restored the long-hair look now.
#2. Former WWE Total Divas star Eva Marie
Eva Marie recently returned to WWE, more than four years after she was released by the company in 2017.
Marie was once known as The Red Queen and her "All Red Everything" moniker caught on with the WWE Universe. Marie doesn't appear to be looking to follow the same theme this time since she has already dyed her hair pink.
Throughout her time away from the company, Eva Marie dyed her hair several different colors including purple and black. The star also pursued a career as an actress before being called back to WWE to be a part of the current Women's Division.
Marie first debuted in WWE in 2013 and went on to learn the ropes in the company. The former Total Divas star has gone through many changes since her original WWE debut, and will look very different when she finally returns to the show in the coming weeks.
#1. Former 13-time WWE Women's Champion Charlotte Flair
Charlotte Flair is already one of the most decorated female wrestlers in WWE history.
The daughter of WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair made her NXT debut in 2013 before being promoted to the main roster back in 2015. It was here that Charlotte became a huge part of the Women's Revolution and changed the face of the division.
Charlotte has since won the Divas, SmackDown Women's, RAW Women's, and Women's Tag Team Championships en route to becoming the woman now known as The Queen.
As a part of WWE for almost a decade, she has gone through several image transitions. The former Women's Champion admitted that she also had several surgical procedures that helped change her image.
When compared to the woman who made her NXT debut almost nine years ago, Charlotte Flair is almost unrecognizable.
