Wrestlers are consistently looking to change things up with their appearances to stay relevant with the crowd. While people have certain distinctive looks, fans do want to see slight changes for them to remain as fresh as possible and that has been the case with many talents throughout 2021.

Whether it be altering their hairstyle, growing a beard, or changing their clothing and ring gear, there's a lot of tweaks that have been made. This has worked wonders for a lot of wrestlers who now look better than ever and have connected with the audience in a whole new way.
10 Brock Lesnar
When Brock Lesnar returned to WWE at SummerSlam, he did so with a completely new look. The Beast has changed a lot this year, which is to go with his new babyface character. He has grown his hair out and now rocks a ponytail, while he has also grown out a huge beard.
On top of that, Brock no longer wears his MMA-style clothing. Instead, he has embraced his genuine love of hunting and farming. This has led to him appearing with shirts and overalls, with the Beast looking completely different.
9 Mandy Rose
Mandy Rose has moved to NXT during 2021, enjoying a big push as a singles star. To go along with the change, she transformed her look. Mandy had been well known for her blonde hair which is a look that she made work for her.
However, Rose surprised the WWE Universe by appearing as a brunette. The change worked well and helped to establish the new version of her character which was made even better when she became the NXT Women's Champion.
8 John Cena
John Cena is another legend that switched up his appearance slightly for SummerSlam this year. While he still wore the same style of ring gear and t-shirts, it was with his hair that Cena made alterations. Rather than the traditional hair fans have been used to throughout his career, John allowed it to grow much longer.

This is all down to his career in Hollywood, where his movie role at the time was clearly demanding him to have longer hair. However, it was also different from the time he appeared and looked like JBL, which was a look nobody was impressed with.
7 Braun Strowman
Braun Strowman also decided to shake up his look this year and he did so in a major way. Fans had become accustomed to seeing him with long hair and a huge beard, which was how he appeared from the moment he debuted with The Wyatt Family.
However, in 2021 he decided to trim his massive beard and keep the bald look while becoming more jacked for his appearance on the final ROH show. It was a fresh look and one that did make him stand out. The new appearance allowed Braun to look even more menacing, which is something that worked perfectly for him.
6 Otis
When it comes to haircuts, Otis is another WWE Superstar that opted to change things. His new look was an interesting one as he also decided to shave away his long hair, which went along with his heel turn and decision to be more aggressive.

He hasn't pulled it off quite as well as Braun Strowman. However, there is no doubt that it got people talking about him, and having a change because of a new character is always exciting and shows the dedication he is putting in.
5 Zelina Vega
Zelina Vega has made subtle changes to her look throughout 2021, which has mainly come in the form of different colored hair. She has also changed up her ring gear at times and the overall presentation of her character.
It is working well for her overall though, with Zelina having enjoyed the best year of her career in WWE throughout 2021. She has been pushed well at times, including becoming the first-ever Queen of the Ring.
4 Jack Evans
Anytime that a hair vs. hair match is announced fans know that somebody will be getting a change in appearance. That is what took place for Jack Evans this year when he was beaten by Orange Cassidy, which led to him getting a new hairstyle.

Of course, this situation was done to embarrass Evans, as is the case any time this stipulation is created. That took place when Cassidy took the scissors to his head, cutting just the area on top, leaving him looking foolish.
3 Sonya Deville
While her former tag team partner is rocking a new look in NXT 2.0, Sonya Deville has also created a fresh appearance on the main roster. After taking time away from the ring, she returned in 2021 in a General Manager role on both Raw and SmackDown.
Gone is the old MMA gear and instead, she is now wearing suits to push the character that she is playing. The power suits have worked well for her and it has added to the heel heat that she can gain from the fans.
2 Baron Corbin
Baron Corbin has never been afraid to switch up his looks throughout his time in WWE. He has played a variety of characters during his time with the company and 2021 has seen him take on two very contrasting ones which required him to change his look.
The time when he lost all of his money saw him wear rags and slowly lose his hair, which he committed to brilliantly. Then when he became Happy Corbin he added fancy suits, shirts, and hats, while also shaving his head, which has led to a fresh look again.
1 The Young Bucks
The Young Bucks have made major changes to their appearance throughout 2021 and have switched up their look regularly. They now turn up to the ring with lots of jewelry, different hairstyles, and sometimes even glitter.
It is all done in a bid to gain as much heat as possible as it goes along with their arrogant personalities that have worked so well. It has come as a package deal with their new gimmicks and they have also grown out their beards to go along with it.
