6 WWE Superstars whose careers took off after they changed their look drastically

#2 CM Punk

CM Punk

CM Punk has been arguably one of the most polarising figures in recent memory in WWE. The Chicago native divides opinion across the WWE Universe, from those feeling his anti-company comments in recent years went too far, to those who believe his mantra that he is indeed the Best in the World.

Given his run as, just as the song says, the Cult of Personality in WWE, it's easy to see why so many are high on Punk. He was accomplished in the ring, a multi-time former champion, and someone who delivered many a memorable promo. While we're more than sure it is just a coincidence, one could argue that Punk only truly started to gather real momentum in WWE after he cut short his long, black hair. It was only after that that the Straight Edge Society gave way to the likes of The New Nexus, his WWE Championship runs, and his memorable feuds with the likes of the McMahons and Triple H.

One thing you can't deny - a short-haired Punk was a different animal altogether.
