5 WWE superstars who had a gimmick change in 2021

#4. Mandy Rose had a gimmick change in WWE

Gone are the days of The Golden Goddess in WWE as Mandy Rose changed up her blonde hair for a new look. After a number of years on the main roster, Rose returned to NXT in July 2021. With a brand new attitude and new friends, Mandy Rose's career on NXT has taken off in style.

It has certainly paid off, as Mandy won her first singles championship by winning the NXT Women's Championship. She defeated Raquel Gonzalez at the Halloween Havoc special in October 2021 in a Trick or Treat fight to capture gold.

Her close associates Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne, better known as Toxic Attraction, also captured the NXT Women's Tag Team titles on the same night.

#3. Keith Lee became Bearcat Lee in WWE

Everyone remembers just how good Keith Lee was on NXT, and how much of a force he was in the main event scene. You'd think that would carry over onto the main roster. Unfortunately, WWE's writers had other ideas.

The company altered and tweaked his gimmick in stages. One thing noticeable when he first debuted on the main roster in 2020 was that his popular entrance music was immediately changed. Now in 2021, he has been re-branded as Bearcat Lee, paying homage to legendary wrestler Bearcat Wright.
