It’s rare when you see Superstars don eyewear other than sunglasses. While there are few who legitimately need them for vision purposes, some wear it for fashion. Wearing glasses seems to be the latest trend and Superstars such as Enzo Amore and Stephanie McMahon have been seen wearing them.
Even Trish Stratus has taken pictures wearing glasses. Most times, it’s unconfirmed whether they wear them for reading or they are prescription glasses.
I’m a glasses wearer myself. I remember taking pictures when I was younger and felt like I had to remove mine because I thought it ruined my pictures.
But over time I learned to embrace it especially since I got glasses that suit my face. However that might be the case with Superstars who wear glasses outside the ring often. There are Superstars that most likely wear contacts versus glasses.
It’s a matter of preference. Sometimes glasses are hard to keep up with especially with the Superstars’ hectic schedule.
So who are the few and far in between who wear glasses?
#1 Big Cass
This one came as a surprise to me recently. I follow Carmella on Instagram (and you can follow me there at auntietwister08) and I saw that Big Cass just had a birthday not too long ago. The two are dating, and for his birthday, Carmella posted a picture of the two together, and the seven foot tall monster had on a normal pair of glasses!
What do ya know? I love seeing rare pictures like that, and considering the mad world of social media, it was a sweet picture and message. It’s cool to wear glasses after all, and you can’t teach that!
#2 Mauro Ranallo
The newest member of Smackdown’s commentary team has no shame in his eyewear. The knowledgeable commentator sports his glasses all the time, indicating that he has to wear them. The glasses are trendy and the thick black frame works well with his overall look.
While his eyewear makes the commentator stand out, it goes without saying that his commentary work is standout as well. It works both ways with Ranallo. I’m just waiting for the moment where the glasses get knocked off of Ranallo, when things get chaotic at ringside.
That won’t be a pretty sight for sure, but it’s coming.
#3 Sasha Banks
Ms. Banks is often seen posting selfies on social media. And if fans follow her on her social media accounts then they know that much of those selfies include glasses! It is best that she doesn’t wear them at ringside considering that she’s a primary target in the Women’s Division.
Banks is known for being nerdy and so the glasses fit her personality. It also fits her eclectic style. She demonstrates confidence with the glasses as she wears them often. She has been seen at autograph signings and appearances wearing her glasses. When you are the Boss, any accessories make the outfits legit.
#4 Neville
Neville can often be seen wearing glasses outside the squared circle. Considering his wrestling style, the glasses stay backstage where they belong. The man that gravity forgot almost looks unrecognizable when he dons the eyewear.
He also has his hair pulled back, which aids the changed look. Neville sports this look for when he does promotional appearances.
The saying ‘don’t judge a book by its cover’ certainly applies to Neville. If someone didn’t know who he was, they would’ve never guessed the talent he really possesses. Think of it as Peter Parker to Spiderman. Maybe the superhero persona fits Neville after all.
#5 Seth Rollins
The Architect himself is known to wear glasses. He has worn them often about a year or so back. Rollins has worn them out and about plus a few promotional appearances. You can primarily see Rollins wearing his favorite glasses in The Shield documentary, “The Self-Destruction of The Shield”.
You would think during the Authority period he would have worn them along with his suit and tie. Imagine if he got just as much heat for wearing them out to the ring? It is unknown that if he has prescription glasses or they were just simply a trend.
