5 WWE stars who were told to get a haircut

#1 Former WWE Superstar Daniel Bryan was told to get a haircut

In November 2019, The Fiend dragged Daniel Bryan through the ring canvas on WWE SmackDown and ripped out clumps of his rival’s hair. Bryan re-emerged at the next pay-per-view, WWE TLC 2019, with short hair and hardly any facial hair.

Speaking to the San Antonio Express-News, Bryan said he originally wanted to shave his beard as part of the storyline. However, WWE’s decision-makers told him that he also needed to undergo a drastic hairstyle change.

“They said, ‘Well, yeah, then he can cut your hair, too!’ And I was like, ‘No, I don't really want that. I don't want my hair to be cut.’ I kind of wanted my hair to be longer. Just wrestling wise, I like that. But then, the day of, we're like, ‘OK, well, he will rip out some of your hair,’” Bryan said.

Bryan explained that his appearance change would have made more sense if he had only shaved his beard. That way, from a storyline perspective, The Fiend would have targeted his beard to remove something that had become important to his identity.

The storyline resulted in The Fiend retaining the Universal Championship against Bryan in a strap match at the 2020 WWE Royal Rumble.
