Australian WWE Superstar Rhea Ripley is currently at the top of the mountain on Monday Night RAW. She won the RAW Women's Championship at this year's WrestleMania event and is slated to defend the title against Charlotte Flair at Money in the Bank.

Known for her punk and goth-inspired look, Ripley wasn't always "The Nightmare" in WWE. Back when she competed in the inaugural Mae Young Classic, she looked like a traditional babyface. She had long hair at the time, but the former NXT Women's Champion's appearance gradually changed to suit her aggressive persona.

Check out a side-by-side comparison between the current Rhea Ripley and her photo from several years ago:

Fans who have solely followed Ripley's main roster run may find her almost unrecognizable in the picture on the right.

Despite the drastic change in appearance, she is only 24 years of age at the moment. This makes Rhea Ripley one of the youngest women's champions in WWE history.
