The WWE is beyond the shadow of a doubt an important part of the sports-entertainment puzzle today.
Several entertainers--be it athletes, models, actors/actresses, dancers, etc--often find great heights of success upon transitioning to the world of professional wrestling and the WWE.
Touching on the same, it's only normal for fans to compare popular WWE Superstars to their fellow celebrity lookalikes in other spheres of the entertainment industry. In this article, we take a comprehensive look at the stark similarities between some of the biggest celebrities in the world and our favorite WWE performers--
#1 Kaley Cuoco and Taryn Terrell
One of the most popular Hollywood stars today bears a rather uncanny resemblance to one of the most beloved female professional wrestlers. Comparisons between Hollywood superstar Kaley Cuoco and former TNA Knockouts Champion Taryn Terrell have been drawn since Terrell began working in WWE back in 2007--around the same time when Cuoco commenced essaying the iconic role of "Penny" on The Big Bang Theory.
Said comparisons gained further steam when Cuoco and Terrell were featured prominently on both the Playboy and Maxim magazines--which in turn provided a huge impetus to talks of them being lookalikes.
Cuoco rose to prominence as a child actor, and is the same age as Terrell--with Cuoco earning global acclaim for her acting chops, comic-timing and professionalism; whereas widely-respected stunt-woman and actress Terrell has been lauded by many for her efficiency, poise and perfectionist approach.
However, a rather lesser known fact about the duo is that both women are life-long athletes--not in one but two sports respectively! Cuoco competed as an amateur tennis player from the age of 3 to 16, before parting ways with the sport to focus on her acting career--whereas Terrell's rise to notoriety came with her exploits in the pro-wrestling ring for promotions such as WWE, TNA, etc.
Both Cuoco and Terrell are self-proclaimed animal lovers--with Cuoco also being an avid equestrian and Terrell now competing as a cross-fit athlete.
Similarities:
Both Kaley Cuoco and Taryn Terrell are around 5'6" tall, and incredibly athletic--as evidenced by their skills, in tennis and equestrian for the former, and pro-wrestling and cross-fit for the latter. Both Cuoco and Terrell have reiterated their belief in compound lifts and yoga, while addressing fans on social media--crediting their strict training routines and diet for their fitness.
These two women share a few fascinating similarities--with the shape of their face being virtually identical. Upon careful observation you'd note that their eyes, cheekbones and lips are very much alike. Moreover, with both women being elite athletes, the shape of their body is also correlative with one another.
I, for one, won't be surprised to see Cuoco and Terrell star alongside one another in a rom-com movie down the line.
#2 Andy Samberg and EC3
Andy Samberg rose to prominence with his portrayal of "Jake Peralta" in the hit sitcom Brooklyn Nine-Nine. On the other hand, Ethan Carter III aka EC3 has competed in the sport of professional wrestling since 2002--working in WWE from 2007 to '13, and competing for Impact Wrestling in the ensuing years.
EC3 returned to the WWE earlier this year, and is now one of the top stars on the NXT brand. Similarly, Samberg, who's about 5 years older than EC3, continues to enjoy tremendous success in the Hollywood dominion today.
Unlike the previously mentioned pair of Kaley Cuoco and Taryn Terrell, Samberg and EC3 don't appear to possess similarities in the athletic sphere.
Similarities:
EC3 bears a striking resemblance to Samberg--with both men possessing a similar jawline, nose, and lip structure. In fact, the shape of their respective heads from various angles appears to be near-identical--barring the fact that EC3's neck is much more bulky than that of Samberg.
Likewise, while their natural stance seems similar, EC3 is considerably heavier than Samberg. Meanwhile, the NXT Superstar also enjoys a 4-inch height advantage on Samberg--with EC3 billed as 6'2" and Samberg's height being about 5'10".
In addition, both EC3 and Samberg are gifted with excellent comedic skills, as evidenced by the former's work in WWE, TNA, etc, and Samberg's well-known role of Jake Peralta in Brooklyn Nine-Nine. I foresee a potential one-off appearance on WWE shows by Samberg, or perhaps a cameo on the latter's popular TV show by Ethan Carter III.
#3 Wayne Knight and Bruce Prichard
A veteran in the acting sphere, Wayne Knight is perhaps best remembered for his role of "Newman" is one of the most beloved sitcoms of all time--Seinfeld.
On the other hand, Bruce Prichard rose to prominence as Brother Love--a notorious heel personality, who initially managed The Undertaker in the WWE. Prichard has also worked as an executive in preeminent promotions including WWE and TNA (Impact Wrestling).
Similarities:
Wayne Knight and Bruce Prichard share a common body type--with similar neck and shoulder proportions.
In addition, the shape of their nose, mouth, eyes, and cheekbones are essentially identical as well--with the only difference being that Knight's face is a tad wider than that of Prichard's.
Moreover, another pronounced similarity between the two is their smile and facial contortions while laughing. In regards to the same, both Knight and Prichard are well known for being skilled performers in their respective fields.
#4 Kendra Wilkinson and Kelly Kelly
Kendra Wilkinson is a well-known model and Playboy Playmate who appeared on an episode of WWE Monday Night RAW back in 2007 alongside fellow model Brigdet Marquardt. Wilkinson rose to prominence courtesy her work with Playboy, and the wildly popular show The Girls Next Door.
On the other hand, Kelly Kelly performed for the WWE in the mid-to-late 2000s--stepping away from the ring a few years ago. She then returned to the WWE last year, and has made occasional appearances for the company ever since.
Similarities:
Kendra Wilkinson is about a couple of years older than Kelly Kelly, and shares quite a few similarities with the WWE Superstar. Wilkinson is said to be 5'4", whereas Kelly is billed at 5'5".
The forenamed similarities between the pair notably include their smile, facial structure, and a striking resemblance from the side profile. On the contrary, their noses seem to differ a tad; as Kelly seems to possess longer features, while Wilkinson's is a tad shorter than her WWE counterpart.
In regards to their built, both Wilkinson and Kelly are known for their fitness and toned bodies. As proven by years spent in the public spotlight, they credit routine workouts and proper nutrition for their amazing bodies--with both boasting a huge comparability in the dominion of their physical stature.
#5 Bleta "Bebe" Rexha and Alexa Bliss
Singer, songwriter and performer extraordinaire, Bleta "Bebe" Rexha, enjoys a considerable amount of fan-following in the music community, owing to her work over a career which has spanned 8 years.
Similarly, WWE RAW Superstar Alexa Bliss is considered by many to be one of the top Superstars and most important public personalities representing the WWE brand today.
Similarities:
Bleta "Bebe" Rexha and Alexa Bliss could very well be regarded as two of a kind. Rexha and Bliss have been gifted with a similar nose, mouth, cheekbones, forehead, and neck. Rexha is about 2 years older than Bliss.
Meanwhile, Bliss seems to be the stronger of the pair--possessing larger proportions in her lower-body musculature--a department where Rexha seems to be leaner since she's about 4 inches taller than the 5'1" "Goddess of WWE".
Out of most entries in this discussion of ours, Rexha and Bliss probably bag the first place when it comes to their resemblance from the side profile, as well as the swagger with which both women carry themselves. Everything about these two screams--"Star!".
#6 Bridget Marquardt and Ashley Massaro
Playboy model and actress Bridget Marquardt rose to prominence alongside the forenamed Kelly Kelly lookalike Kendra Wilkinson. Marquardt, with Wilkinson, appeared on an episode of Monday Night RAW back in the year 2007.
Meanwhile, Ashley Massaro worked with the WWE from 2005 to 2008, and pursued a career in the modeling sphere in the years that followed.
Similarities:
Both Bridget Marquardt and Ashley Massaro are 5'5" tall, and have been known to maintain a relatively similar, stable muscular definition and weight over the course of their long careers in the entertainment industry. Marquardt is about 5 years older than Massaro.
Marquardt shares Massaro's facial structure; with identical mouths, lip structure and overall built. A key difference between the two may be due to their cheekbones--with the aforesaid difference being the only thing that'd probably help a stranger tell them apart.
Massaro is potentially the better athlete of the two; having undergone rigorous training under professional wrestling veterans such as Trish Stratus, Dave Finlay and Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat.
#7 CM Punk and Jake Gyllenhaal
Jake Gyllenhaal earned global recognition with his roles in movies such as Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, and Southpaw. Gyllenhaal is considered by many to be an excellent actor, who has worked tirelessly in the Hollywood domain since 1991.
On the other hand, 2-time UFC veteran and active MMA fighter CM Punk performed as a pro-wrestler from 1999 until he retired in 2014. Punk is a former WWE Champion, and regarded by fans and experts as one of the most influential performers of his era in the sport's history.
Similarities:
Jake Gyllenhaal is about 5'11" tall, whereas CM Punk was billed at 6'2" during his time in the WWE. Gyllenhaal is 37, while Punk is a couple of years older than his Hollywood counterpart.
Of all the pairs listed in our discussion, the duo of Gyllenhaal and Punk is rather rare, so to speak. Despite not sharing a similar facial structure from the front profile, their eyes, nose, mouth, smile and swagger seems to have a ton of semblance with each other.
In fact, back when Punk sported long tresses, he was often touted as professional wrestling's own Prince of Persia. Both performers seem to have experimented quite a lot with their weight--Gyllenhaal due to the varying roles he portrays, whereas Punk having dropped a ton of weight after transitioning from the WWE to the sport of MMA.
#8 Yvonne Strahovski and Lana
Yvonne Strahovski hails from Australia, and has notched a highly respectable resume for herself with her roles on television as well as in movies in the States--including prominent performances on the hit TV shows, Dexter and Chuck.
Meanwhile, CJ Perry aka WWE SmackDown Live Superstar Lana is no stranger to Hollywood either--having worked as a dancer, model and actress--that is, apart from her performances in the WWE.
Similarities:
Yvonne Strahovski measures about 5'9", whereas Lana is billed at 5'7". The Australian star is about 3 years older than her WWE counterpart.
Contrary to most others on this list, and similar to the comparison between Jake Gyllenhaal and CM Punk, Strahovski and Lana differ in regards to the shape of their face. The Aussie has a more square structure, while Lana has an oval face.
However, what perpetuates the synonymity between Strahovski and Lana is their nose, cheekbones and smile. Moreover, Strahovski possesses bigger eyes than her WWE counterpart, whereas Lana enjoys a considerable advantage in the athletic department with a strong background in dance, cheer-leading and professional wrestling.
#9 Margot Robbie and Liv Morgan
Margot Robbie is hailed by fans as one of Tinseltown's greatest performers today--earning critical acclaim for her roles in movies such as The Wolf of Wall Street and Suicide Squad.
Meanwhile, Liv Morgan performs for WWE on the RAW brand as part of The Riott Squad. The 24 year old signed a contract with WWE back in 2014, and has been working with the company ever since.
Similarities:
Margot Robbie is said to be 5'6" tall, whereas Liv Morgan is billed as 5'4". Robbie is about 4 years older than the WWE RAW Superstar.
Robbie and Morgan are arguably one of the most similar people in this discussion--owing to the huge semblance they possess in their facial structure, eyes, nose, mouth and swagger. Robbie is known to prefer staying lean, while Morgan notably works hard to bulk up for her performances in the WWE.
The only difference between Robbie and Morgan is the considerable amount of highly-developed musculature in the latter's lower body--owing to Morgan's grueling routine of squats and lower body compound lifts in the gym. Moreover, Robbie seems to have a full mouth much like Morgan; with another factor being that the WWE Superstar's lips are a tad bigger than that of Robbie.
Below is Liv Morgan's tweet regarding an instance of her being mistaken for Margot Robbie--
#10 David Beckham and Jeff Hardy
David Beckham is a world-renowned former professional footballer from England, who has competed for elite teams such as Manchester United, Real Madrid and Paris-Saint Germain-besides playing for the English national team on the international circuit.
Beckham is one of the most well-known celebrities in the world, and guess what, the popular British footballer bears a striking resemblance to former WWE Champion Jeff Hardy. The latter competes on WWE SmackDown Live, and is considered to be one of the most beloved Superstars in the promotion today.
Similarities:
One of the most recognizable footballers of all time, David Beckham is said to stand 6'0" tall, whereas professional wrestling veteran Jeff Hardy is billed as 6'2". Beckham is about 3 years older than Hardy.
This pair alongside the ones of Kaley Cuoco & Taryn Terrell, and Bleta "Bebe" Rexha & Alexa Bliss, are one of the most strikingly identical duos in the entertainment industry today. Beckham has a nose, mouth, facial structure, built and swagger similar to Hardy.
In addition, the most congruent feature of Beckham and Hardy is the eyes! The look of their eyes, eyebrows as well as the mannerisms that they utilize while emoting with their eyes is what makes these stars so very identical.
#11 Pamela Anderson and Trish Stratus
Immortalized by her performances on the hit 1990s TV show Baywatch, Pamela Anderson is one of the most well-known celebrities in the world today. Anderson hails from Canada, much like her WWE lookalike, and has modeled for Playboy in the past.
Similarly, Trish Stratus is considered by many as one of Canada's greatest exports--who, being adept in the fitness domain, went on to take the WWE by storm. After transitioning from the world of fitness to professional wrestling, Stratus etched her name in the pro-wrestling history books as one of the most successful talents of all time.
Similarities:
Baywatch icon Pamela Anderson stands at 5'7" tall, whereas WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus is billed as 5'4". Anderson is about 10 years older than professional wrestling legend Trish Stratus.
Both Anderson and Stratus are well known for their incredible athletic ability and toned bodies. However, the similarity between these entertainment industry legends doesn't stop there.
Anderson and Stratus possess the highly desired "million dollar smile", which is a huge congruence their share with one another. In addition, their eyes, nose, mouth, lip structure, neck as well as side profile are a mirror image of each other.
#12 Kratos, Sean Bean and Triple H
Yes, this has led to several notoriously popular Triple H memes. And yes, Triple H does look like the iconic video game character "Kratos".
Speaking of video games, notable video game model and former James Bond franchise villain Sean Bean also bears semblance to Triple H. Bean's eerie resemblance to The Game has resulted in both him and Triple H being featured in several internet memes; highlighting their congruent features.
Similarities:
Sean Bean stands at 5'10", while WWE's Executive Vice President of Talent, Live Events and Creative Paul "Triple H" Levesque is billed as 6'4". Bean is 10 years older than the 49 year old "Cerebral Assassin".
It was back when both Bean and Triple H sported a long hairdo, that they were often compared to one another. Upon careful examination, it isn't hard to notice that the constant comparison of the pair is definitely warranted.
Bean's nose, mouth, eyes, facial structure, side profile and body type resembles that of his WWE counterpart. Concerning Triple H and his lookalikes, one of the most widely-debated pairs in this discussion of ours, this writer hereby requests the reader to note that despite the obvious advantage Triple H enjoys in the athletic sphere over Bean, the latter seems to be gifted with a bull's neck akin to the former WWE Champion.
Much like the forenamed comparison between The King of Kings and Sean Bean; the video game character in the latest edition of the God Of War franchise (God Of War 4), has the protagonist "Kratos" look like a spitting image of Triple H!
Right from the beard, to the rugged swagger, Kratos and Triple H seem like carbon copies of each other. In fact, the debates surrounding this topic have reached such heights, that both the gaming as well as pro-wrestling worlds are now more than familiar with Triple H-Kratos memes.
Moreover, several folks on social media have made it a habit to photo-shop Kratos' body-paint on Triple H's images, or add the latter's face to Kratos' body in doctored images. Well, we can't blame them, can we? They do look exactly like each other!
#13 Matthew Lillard, Vincent Cassel and Edge
Matthew Lillard is best known for portraying the role of "Shaggy" in the Scooby-Doo movie franchise. Meanwhile, Vincent Cassel is one of the most renowned French actors of all time.
Akin to the success of the forenamed stars, WWE Hall of Famer Edge is a master at the art of professional wrestling. The Rated-R Superstar retired from in-ring competition due to injuries, however, he was one of the elites in his profession back in his heyday.
Similarities:
The tallest of the trio Edge stands at 6'5" tall. On the other hand, Vincent Cassel is said to be 6'2", whereas Matthew Lillard is 6'3". Edge is the youngest of the lot, at 44, while Cassel is 51 and Lillard 48 years of age.
The biggest similarity these men share is their chin and peculiar jawline. In addition to which, their smile seems to be quite congruent as well.
It's remarkable that while Edge and Lillard share a somewhat parallel swagger--both being easy-going guys; Cassel on the other hand is known for his stoic approach. Regardless, the very fact that these gentlemen look like carbon copies of one another, indicates that they may potentially star in a Three Musketeers remake down the line (sic).
I kid, I kid! Up next is a comparison that seems to have divided the pro-wrestling world's opinion...
#14 Kat Dennings and Nikki Cross
Kat Dennings is perhaps one of the most popular comic actors in Hollywood today--earning global recognition with her role of "Max Black" in the hit sitcom "2 Broke Girls". Dennings also memorably starred in a movie from the Thor superhero franchise.
On the other hand, Nikki Cross is considered by many as one of the most athletic WWE Superstars today--with her stamina and explosiveness being praised by one and all. Cross made a name for herself on the indie circuit, before transitioning to NXT and working with the heel faction SAnitY.
Similarities:
Kat Dennings stands at 5'3" tall, whereas Nikki Cross is billed as 5'2". Dennings is about 3 years older than the WWE NXT Superstar.
These two talented young women are like two peas in a pod--similar not only in facial features, but also in regards to their built. Dennings and Cross seem to have been gifted with incredible musculature--with both the Hollywood star as well as the NXT Superstar boasting a strong upper-body and lower-body.
Cross, being a professional wrestler, seems to have a thicker neck than Dennings--which seems to be a noticeable factor which'd help a stranger tell them apart. Nevertheless, their eyes, nose, mouth, assertive swagger and subtle mannerisms seem to be virtually identical.
#15 Stacey Lynn and Terri Runnels
Stacey Lynn is a fitness model who's perhaps best known to pro-wrestling fans for her extensive photo shoots with WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus. Before Stratus transitioned to the WWE, she was undoubtedly a huge attraction in the women's fitness industry alongside Lynn.
On the other hand, Terri Runnels--the former wife and manager for WWE Superstar Goldust--is no stranger to Attitude Era WWE fans in particular. Runnels was regarded as one of the fittest female WWE performers during her run with the company.
Similarities:
Stacey Lynn stands at about 5'4" tall, whereas Terri Runnels is billed as 5'0". Lynn is around the same age as Runnels--with both women having earned widespread praise for consistently maintaining an elite level of fitness over the course of their lengthy careers.
Lynn and Runnels share a similar facial structure--with the latter's face being a tad wider than that of Lynn. Moreover, their nose and lip structure are congruent--with a key distinction between the two being that Runnels' eyes are a bit bigger than her doppelganger.

Similarities:
Nicole Eggert is said to be 5'3" tall, whereas Torrie Wilson is billed as 5'9". Eggert is about 3 years older than Wilson.
Despite a 6-inch difference in height, both Eggert and Wilson share a similar body type--which noticeably accentuates the congruence between the pair. Eggert and Wilson have been blessed with healthy facial features, or rather fuller features--including a lip structure which is considered to be attractive in the traditional aesthetic sense.
Furthermore, the biggest parallel we can draw in these two entertainers' looks, is that you'd have a really tough time telling them apart from the side profile. It's truly fascinating how the human mind works in conjunction with aesthetics, since Eggert and Wilson look similar from the front, but--dare I say--twins when viewed from either side.
#17 Rick Ross and Mark Henry
Rick Ross is perhaps one of the most well-known rappers in Hollywood today--earning global recognition not only for the songs he's performed, but also for his work as a record executive.

Moreover, their nose, mouth, facial structure, body type as well as their side profiles are indeed virtually identical! In fact, despite Henry being the superior athlete by a large margin, Ross boasts quite an impressive sturdy physique himself.
#18 Kurt Russell and Dolph Ziggler

Similarities:

Ziggler presently bears a stark resemblance to Russell, especially when you compare the WWE Superstar with footage of Russell's movies when the latter was younger. Their nose, mouth, lip structure, shape of the face, body type, side profile as well as swagger--all match up!
#19 Rihanna and Alicia Fox
Rihanna is one of the most popular celebrities in the world right now. She's a highly regarded R&B singer, and is one of the best-selling music artists of all time.

Much like a few notable pairs on this list such as Kaley Cuoco-Taryn Terrell, Bleta "Bebe" Rexha-Alexa Bliss, Andy Samberg-EC3, and Rick Ross-Mark Henry; the similarity between Rihanna and Alicia Fox is remarkable. Rihanna and Fox both seem to have been blessed with incredibly fit, toned bodies.
Rihanna and Fox share a similar-looking nose, mouth, eyes, facial structure, and built. In fact, both performers appear incredibly identical from the side profile as well--However, the only key difference between Rihanna and Fox is that the latter seems to have a more assertive personality, whereas the popular R&B singer chooses to go with a more laid-back swagger.
#20 Jean-Claude Van Damme and Rob Van Dam

Similarities:
Mark Wahlberg stands at 5'8" tall, whereas WWE stalwart John Cena is listed as 6'1". Wahlberg is about 6 years older than his WWE lookalike.
Both rappers bear a rather strange resemblance to one another--especially when you consider the fact that not many people can claim to look like the living, breathing Superman that is "Super-Cena". Wahlberg's eyes, nose and mouth are eerily identical to that of Cena.
Regardless, a notable difference between the pair is that Cena's head is a tad larger than that of Wahlberg--However, in regards to body shape and overall appearance, these two could very well pass off as brothers in a movie down the line.
#22 Grigori Rasputin and Daniel Bryan
Grigori Rasputin was a Russian holy-man, who many believe served as a huge factor in igniting the Russian Revolution. Rasputin is regarded by many as one of the most notable political personalities of the past 200 years.

On the other hand, Bryan--who is now 37 years of age--seems to be a spitting image of the Russian mystic. Bryan's beard may likely be a factor that contributes to him being perceived as a Rasputin doppelganger.
Nevertheless, one would be remiss to overlook a few other notable similarities between the pair--including their eyebrows, chin, nose, and striking similarity from the side profile. Well, much like Rasputin had the world of politics divided in their opinion regarding him, Bryan too seems to be a polarizing figure in the professional wrestling business.
#23 Jason Momoa and Roman Reigns
Jason Momoa is considered to be one of the most physically-gifted action movie stars in Hollywood today. Essaying the role of "Aquaman" in the superhero movie franchise of the same name, Momoa is one of the most recognizable celebrities in the world today.

Moreover, both Momoa and Reigns possess incredible athletic ability--with their hulking presence said to play a huge factor in their on-screen characters. Considering that, it may not come as a surprise to many that fans have been clamoring for a potential crossover appearance in the Aquaman movie franchise by Reigns.
#24 Nicki Minaj and Cameron
Nicki Minaj is hailed as one of the world's best-selling music performers, and is a prominent name in the hip hop industry today. Minaj is also a highly influential personality in the social media dominion.
On the other hand, Cameron is perhaps best known for her work in the WWE from 2011 to 2016. During her time with the company, Cameron was praised by many for her incredible flexibility and rhythm while performing as a Funkadactyl alongside Brodus Clay.
Similarities:

Once again, for those who happen to be perfection-seekers, this pair is as similar as it gets. Minaj possesses a similar nose, lip structure, shape of face, as well as built as her WWE lookalike.
Cameron enjoys an obvious athletic and a minute upper-body bulk advantage over Minaj, however, both seem like carbon copies of each other from the side profile in particular.
#25 Bradley Cooper and Zack Ryder
Bradley Cooper is one of the top Hollywood stars today--gaining worldwide notoriety with his roles in movies such as The Hangover, Silver Linings Playbook and Limitless.
On the other hand, Zack Ryder is a former WWE Intercontinental Champion who has performed for the WWE since 2005. Ryder is a young veteran of the sport, and praised by many for his consistency and athleticism.
Similarities:
Bradley Cooper stands at about 6'1" tall, while Zack Ryder is listed as 6'2". Cooper is approximately 10 years older than his WWE lookalike.
Cooper and Ryder have, for long, been compared by professional wrestling fans as mirror images of one another. Honestly speaking, we can't really blame them--particularly given that their nose, eyes, smile, and facial structure seem so very similar.
While Cooper does lean down and bulk up according to the requirement of the role he's portraying on-screen, his body type is akin to that of Ryder. Much like the duo of Kaley Cuoco and Taryn Terrell; one could definitely envision Bradley Cooper and Zack Ryder in a comedy movie down the line.
#26 Michelle Joy Phelps and Nikki Bella
One of the most jovial personalities in boxing today, Michelle Joy Phelps aka MJP is a former Maxim model who has carved an uncommon niche for herself in the big bad world of the hurt business. MJP is one of the most beloved interviewers in professional boxing today.
Much like MJP, Nikki Bella is an incredibly popular reality television star today--courtesy Total Bellas and Total Divas--apart from also competing occasionally in the WWE. Despite now being a part-time performer, back in her days as a full-time competitor, Bella had captured the WWE Divas Championship.
Similarities:
Michelle Joy Phelps stands at 5'6" tall, akin to former WWE Divas Champion Nikki Bella who is also listed as 5'6". In addition to which, it's fascinating that these two similar-looking entertainment professionals are also of the same age.
MJP and Nikki Bella perhaps take the cake for the most identical female pair on this list; particularly considering the fact that Nikki looks more like Phelps than her own twin sister Brie Bella. A rather interesting factor over here may be the environmental influence on Nikki and Brie which seems to have directed their looks on different developmental trajectories.
MJP's nose, mouth, smile, side profile appearance as well as overall built is similar to that of Nikki. In fact, this writer finds it a tad surprising that not many in the pro-wrestling world have picked up on the fact that this boxing personality is indeed a mirror image of Nikki.
#27 Alfonso Ribeiro and Big E
Well, if it isn't "Carlton Banks"! Widely beloved actor Alfonso Ribeiro rose to prominence with his role as the forenamed Carlton Banks in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
On the other hand, WWE Superstar Big E is considered to be one of the greatest pure athletes to have ever stepped foot inside a professional wrestling ring. Apart from capturing tag team gold with his New Day team-mates, Big E is also a former NXT and Intercontinental Champion.
Similarities:
Alfonso Ribeiro is said to be around 5'6" tall, while The New Day's Big E is listed as 5'11". Ribeiro is around 14 years older than his WWE doppelganger.
Ribeiro and Big E seem to be an intriguing duo in this discussion, especially when you consider the fact that they look virtually identical from the side profile, only to appear quite different from the front.
Big E is beyond the shadow of a doubt the much more gifted athlete, who is built like a tank--unlike the much smaller Ribeiro. However, their smile and swagger seems to be something which has led to many in the professional wrestling world comparing the pair.
#28 Jon Bon Jovi and Chris Jericho
Jon Bon Jovi is beyond the shadow of a doubt, one of the greatest rock-stars alive. Bon Jovi is beloved the world over, not only for his fantastic vocals, but also due to the sheer passion that he puts forth in his musical work.
On the other hand, much like Bon Jovi, former WWE Champion and current NJPW star Chris Jericho is also a renowned musician for his band Fozzy. Jericho is considered by many to be one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time.
Similarities:
Legendary musician Jon Bon Jovi is said to be about 5'9" tall, whereas Chris Jericho is billed as 5'10". Bon Jovi is roughly 9 years older than Y2J.
Unlike most other pairs on this list, the facial structure of Bon Jovi and Jericho is dissimilar. However, what makes this duo so very comparable is that both star performers sport impressive similar tresses.
Moreover, both Bon Jovi and Jericho possess a rather unique aura with undeniably smooth swagger. In addition, the music legend also shares a smile which reminds many of the current IWGP Intercontinental Champion Chris Jericho.
#29 April Bowlby and Peyton Royce
April Bowlby is perhaps best known for her portrayal of "Kandi" in the hit sitcom Two and a Half Men. Over the course of her long and storied career, Bowlby has been praised by many for her composure in front of the camera as well as her comic timing.
On the other hand, one-half of The IIconics, Peyton Royce, is touted by many as the next big thing in the WWE women's division. Royce hails from Australia, and over the course of her 3-year stint in the WWE, she is said to have impressed a considerable amount of fans and critics with her work.
Similarities:
Both April Bowlby as well as Peyton Royce stand at 5'7" tall. Bowlby is approximately 13 years older than her WWE doppelganger.
Bowlby and Royce share a ton of similar features as far as overall physical appearance is concerned. However, the biggest facial similarity possessed by the pair is that of their high cheekbones.
Moreover, both Bowlby and Royce seem to have maintained a lean built--with Royce being deceptively strong despite her tall and slender built. Both women are gifted with incredibly toned bodies, and appear to be eerily similar from the side profile--hair color notwithstanding.
#30 Jessica Rabbit and Scarlett Bordeaux
Well, before I face the wrath of you hardcore professional wrestling fans out there, please pay heed to this writer's humble opinion.
Professional wrestling is about characters as much as it is apropos the in-ring action. With that in mind, it'd be folly to refrain from drawing comparison to one of the biggest WWE doppelgangers of an iconic fictional celebrity.
Yes. Scarlett Bordeaux is the real-life version of Jessica Rabbit.
Similarities:
Well, Jessica Rabbit is a fictional, animated character, who is widely regarded as one of the most influential creations in the entertainment industry--with many noting that Jessica eventually became a symbol personifying attractiveness and appeal.
Touching on the same, Scarlett Bordeaux recently began portraying the role of a cunning villain on Impact Wrestling--a beautiful yet dangerous woman, who utilizes her appearance and charisma to trick her foes and succeed.
In connection with the same, most fans may recollect that Bordeaux has been perfecting the forenamed role for quite some time now; playing said role in several indie appearances.
Now, granted that Bordeaux has ditched the red tresses for her golden locks in recent times--however, the WWE would be remiss if they don't bring her back at the earliest, red hair intact!
Scarlett Bordeaux could perhaps essay the WWE version of Jessica Rabbit, and additionally solidify the promotion's goals of adding yet another Disney-like layer to their PG product--something that's edgy, yet well within the PG norms.
