The Women's Revolution has allowed several former female wrestlers to make their return to WWE in recent years.

The likes of Trish Stratus, Lita, Molly Holly, Victoria, and even Jillian Hall have all been part of recent high-profile women's matches, but there are still a number of former superstars who are yet to make their return.

Decades have passed since several of these female wrestlers were able to grace a WWE ring and now it's hard to say if the WWE Universe would still recognize many of them if they were able to make their return.

The following list looks at just six female former WWE Superstars who are now unrecognizable when compared to their time as part of the company.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE


#6. Former WWE Women's Champion Jazz

Jazz was already 29 years old when she made her way to WWE in 2001 but was able to capture the Women's Championship for the first time the following year.

The former ECW star was the last woman to hold the Women's Championship under the WWF banner and was able to lift the title on two occasions during her short career.

Since leaving WWE back in 2004, Jazz has worked for several other promotions, including AEW, Chikara, NWA, and is currently contracted to IMPACT Wrestling. Jazz is now 48 years old and looks very different when compared to her younger days in WWE.


#5. Former WWE Superstar Summer Rae

Summer Rae had a short stint in WWE where she was able to become a huge part of the Women's Revolution on both NXT and the main roster.

During her time with WWE, Rae was also added to the main cast of Total Divas for three seasons and was part of several high-profile feuds in the women's division.

Rae's last appearance for WWE came as part of a 10-woman tag team match at WrestleMania 32, but she wasn't released from the company until more than a year later in 2017.

The former star has since returned to modeling and switched up her looks several times following her WWE departure. As seen above, even though those images are just five years apart, Rae is now unrecognizable.

#4. Former WWE Superstar Sunny

Sunny was seen as the first-ever WWE Diva and was once the woman that every little girl wanted to be when they grew up. Compared to the other women in the company at the time, Sunny was seen as the girl next door and had a likable character, which appealed to many women who aspired to enter the business.

Despite not being able to lift Championship gold in her short wrestling career, the former star has become one of the company's most memorable stars and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame back in 2011.

Sunny has since pushed through some personal and legal troubles, the most recent of which only saw Sunny released from prison last month. These issues have meant that Sunny's name is one that has remained in the headlines long after the end of her wrestling career.

It's been more than two decades since Sunny portrayed her well-liked character on WWE TV so it doesn't come as much of a surprise that she now looks very different.

#3. Former WWE Women's Champion Sable

Almost two decades after her second WWE departure, Sable is still one of the most memorable female wrestlers of all time.

The former Women's Champion is still seen as one of the first-ever WWE Divas and paved the way for many of the women who went on to find fame in the company in the years that followed.

Sable posed for Playboy on two occasions throughout her career as well, which opened up wrestling to a host of new fans. Despite leaving WWE in 1999 in the midst of issues with the company, Sable was still able to make her return a few years later and become part of several interesting storylines.

Since her departure from WWE back in 2004, Sable has gone on to marry fellow WWE superstar Brock Lesnar and has welcomed two sons. Despite being a huge part of the Women's Division at one point and leaving the company on good terms, Sable has opted not to return in the years that have followed and has played no active role in the Women's Revolution.

#2. Former WWE Superstar Dawn Marie

Dawn Marie was part of several controversial storylines throughout her time in WWE, including working alongside Torrie Wilson and her real-life father Al.

Marie was one of the women who was brought into the company with no wrestling experience at a time when women's wrestling wasn't as competitive as it is at present.

The former ECW star spent three years with WWE before she was released in 2005 whilst on maternity leave after announcing that she was expecting her first child. Marie went on to file a lawsuit against the company for wrongful termination given the timing of her release, a case that was settled two years later in 2007.

Marie has since retired from the wrestling business and has started a career as a nurse. The former WWE star has since welcomed a son and a daughter after marrying Matthew DaMatta in 2005.

It's been more than 15 years since the WWE Universe has seen Dawn Marie and from the images above it's fair to say that she's changed significantly.

#1. Former WWE Divas Champion Kaitlyn

Kaitlyn rose to fame in WWE as part of the first-ever all-female season of NXT. The former star was announced as the winner of the show and was then promoted to the main roster.

In the years that followed, Kaitlyn was able to lift the Divas Championship before stepping into a feud with her best friend AJ Lee. The two women had one of the most intense rivalries in the company at that time and it led to Lee becoming Champion for the first time.

After losing her Championship, Kaitlyn asked for her WWE release and was granted it at the beginning of 2014.

In the years that have followed, the former star has stepped back into the ring and even returned to WWE to take part in the Mae Young Classic back in 2018. Kaitlyn was unable to make it past the second round, where she was defeated by Mia Yim.

When compared to the star, who was contracted to WWE back in 2014, Kaitlyn now looks considerably different.
