Hair is one of the most important visual attributes of a person - different hairstyles can drastically change how someone looks. An even bigger change is when a person sports a completely bald look (be it willingly or unwillingly). There are, and have been, many, many bald superstars on the WWE roster.
From iconic WWE Hall of Famers like Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock to current generation WWE Superstars like Ricochet and Tommaso Ciampa, several members of the WWE roster have sported a bald look during their WWE career. With an amazingly built body and toned muscles, the bald look does suit them a lot. So much so that you'll almost feel weird to look at their old photos where they had hair.
Let's take a look at 10 WWE Superstars and find out what they looked like with hair. Be sure to comment down your reactions to these pictures and let us know who looks the best?
#10. Cesaro
Being considered by many as one of the most underrated WWE Superstars on the current roster, Cesaro has had a career full of ups and downs. Signing with WWE in 2011, Cesaro has been part of several WWE feuds and has won multiple championships during his WWE career. He is a former United States Champion and has won the Tag Team Championships six times, mostly with Sheamus as The Bar.
As for his look, WWE fans have only seen him sport the bald look throughout his career. As mentioned by Cesaro himself in the above tweet, he started having hair loss at 27. But the Swiss Superman shared some pretty amazing pictures of himself before that time. He looked handsome, didn't he?
#9. WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg
WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg is one of the most intimidating Superstars in the history of the entire pro-wrestling industry. His bald look goes very well with his impressively muscular body shape, giving him a savage look. But check out the video above of Goldberg with a head full of hair.
Famous for his lengthy undefeated streak in WCW from 1997 to 1998, Goldberg signed with WWE in 2003 but left the company only a year later in 2004 after his WrestleMania XX match against Brock Lesnar. After being away from the business for a long time, Goldberg would return to WWE in 2016 and was then inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2018. His last appearance was at WrestleMania 36 earlier this year where he dropped his Universal Championship to Braun Strowman.
#8. Ricochet
Just take a look at this man standing alongside Triple H. Do you recognize him? Of course you do. I mentioned his name in the heading. It's, like,right there. That is what WWE Superstar Ricochet looked like with long hair. Ever since signing with WWE in 2018, WWE fans have watched him in his bald look so, OK, he does look pretty unrecognizable in the picture above.
Ricochet is one of the most gifted athletes on the WWE roster. The stuff he does inside the ring is extraordinary. No doubt WWE calls him "the One and Only" and a "Real Life Superhero." His list of accomplishments in his relatively short WWE career includes being a former NXT North American Champion and WWE United States Champion. He also won the 2019 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic alongside Aleister Black and currently appears for WWE on RAW.
#7. Tommaso Ciampa
Tommaso Ciampa is one of the most fearless and dangerous NXT Superstars. Having been a former NXT Champion and NXT Tag Team Champion, Tommaso Ciampa signed with WWE in 2016 and started appearing in NXT alongside Johnny Gargano as the tag team known as DIY.
NXT fans have seen Ciampa portray his savage bald look with a beard throughout his current stay in NXT, but not many know that he appeared for WWE way before that. In was on one of the episodes of SmackDown in 2005, where a 20-year-old Ciampa appeared for a segment as Muhammad Hassan's lawyer and received a chokeslam at the hands of The Undertaker. Because of course he did.
#6. WWE Hall of Famer Steve Austin
As mentioned in the first slide, whenever you think of a bald WWE Superstar, WWE Hall of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin is one of the first who comes to mind. Being one of the most popular WWE Superstars of all-time, especially during the height of the Attitude Era and his rivalry with Vince McMahon, Steve Austin has had a career in WWE that not many can even imagine having.
A record three-time Royal Rumble winner, 1996 King of the Ring, and six-time WWE/WWF World Heavyweight Champion, Stone Cold Steve Austin was one of the biggest reasons why WWE became such a huge success in the late 90s and early 2000s. What many might not know is that he was once a Paul Heyman guy during his early days in the business and had some very long hair. I'll say he looks much better now.
#5. Lars Sullivan
Lars Sullivan was someone who came to the WWE main roster with a lot of hype around him - so much so that WWE was once planning to have him go up against their poster boy, John Cena. Trained by Bobby Lashley, he signed with WWE in 2013 and joined NXT after a few years. In the picture above, he looks completely different than his NXT look.
While he did not win any titles on the black and gold brand of WWE, he was portrayed as an unstoppable monster. He was scheduled to make his WWE debut in January 2019 but he reportedly suffered an anxiety attack and walked out. Lars Sullivan would later make his main roster debut and got an instant push as a monster heel. Unfortunately, he suffered a knee injury last year and has been out of action ever since.
#4. The Big Show
One of the most beloved WWE Superstars, The Big Show used to have long locks during the early stage of his WWE/WCW career. In the past several years, we have seen him in his bald look - mostly with a beard, except that one time when he appeared on RAW all clean shaved and look completely unrecognizable.
Many have compared him to the legendary Andre the Giant (WCW even tried to promote him as Andre's son when he first debuted) but the Big Show has made a legacy for himself in the business thanks to his successful career. Being one of the longest-tenured WWE Superstars to still be an active in-ring competitor, The Big Show is a four-time World Champion in WWE. Over the last few years, he has transitioned into a part-timer. He's also been dabbling in acting, and even stars in his own sitcom on Netflix, appropriately titled The Big Show Show.
#3. WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle
Unlike most of the entries on this list, many of you might remember Kurt Angle sporting a head full of hair. In the above Tweet, you can see his different avatars throughout his career - with hair and without them.
After leaving WWE in 2006, Kurt Angle joined TNA/Impact Wrestling before finally making his WWE comeback in 2017. He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame that year and was later appointed as the general manager of RAW on the night after WrestleMania 33. He put on his wrestling boots on a few occasions before finally retiring at WrestleMania 35.
#2. WWE Hall of Famer Batista
The six-time World Champion in WWE, Batista is all set to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame class of 2020. In a career full of several memorable feuds and goodbye moments, Batista has been a top WWE Superstar, headlining multiple WrestleManias throughout his WWE career.
While we are used to seeing him in his bald look in the last several years, take a look at the above picture where Batista is flaunting his flawless long hair. He does look amazing. Batista retired from in-ring competition at WrestleMania 35 and is one of the most successful Hollywood stars to have come out of WWE. But not as popular as this next guy.
#1. The Rock
The Rock is one of the most popular celebrities in the world, thanks to his incredibly successful Hollywood career. He was the highest-earning Hollywood star in 2019, delivering record-breaking blockbusters one after the other.
But before all that, he got his initial fame being a WWE Superstar. Considered to be one of the greatest WWE Superstars of all time, The Rock is a 10-time World Champion, Royal Rumble winner, and has also won several other championships in WWE.
He started his WWF career as Rocky Maivia and looked very different than how we are accustomed to seeing him look as The Rock. You can check the picture above and see for yourself.
