LOOK: Bray Wyatt Changes Up His Appearance In A Weird Way On SmackDown
That’s a look. There are several aspects to a wrestler’s overall presentation and one of the biggest is how they appear. A wrestler has to do something to catch the fans’ attention and looking a distinct way is one of the best. Changing appearances can make a big difference and that is what took place this week, as a top WWE star debuted something of a fresh appearance. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: All For One?

VIDEO: Dominik Mysterio And Rhea Ripley Take Over Rey Mysterio’s Valentine’s Day Dinner
This is becoming a tradition. There are all kinds of ways to present a wrestling storyline, many of which have been around for decades to continued success. One of the best is to have family members get into trouble with each other, likely setting up a huge match down the line. WWE has been doing that again, and now it seems that they are using various special days to make it work.

Blast From The Past: Cody Rhodes Hints At Bringing Back Winged Eagle WWE Title
He would have some sway. Titles are the most important part of most wrestling promotions and it can mean a lot for a wrestler to win them. Several wrestlers have been boosted up above the rest of the roster by becoming a champion and getting to hold a shiny title belt. A title has to have the right design and it can make a big difference when the design is changed. Now a WWE star is teasing bringing back a classic title.

Not A Fan: Former WWE Star Slams Logan Paul, Credits Shawn Michaels For Paul’s Success
I guess he isn’t impressed. Celebrities appearing at wrestling events has been a concept that has been around for decades. It can be interesting to see famous people from outside of the industry getting a chance to step inside the ring. Occasionally you will find someone who feels like a natural and looks quite good in the ring. That has been the case with a celebrity coming to WWE, but a former WWE star is not impressed. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Not A Fan: Former WWE Star Slams Logan Paul, Credits Shawn Michaels For Paul’s Success Logan Paul wrestled his first match at WrestleMania 38 and went on to challenge Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Title at Crown Jewel in a losing effort.

WATCH: SmackDown Star Accidentally Busted Open With A Chair, Rushed To The Back
That’s a nasty one. Wrestling is a physical sport that does not often get the credit it deserves for everything that can go wrong. The wrestlers are highly trained and skilled professionals who know what they are doing, but there are times when something might not go as planned. That can often lead to a problem, which is what happened this week in a nasty situation. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: More Gold: WWE Considering New Main Event Level Title This week on SmackDown, Imperium attacked Braun Strowman, with Gunther putting him in an armbar. Ricochet ran in for the save with a chair to chase Imperium off, but one of his swings accidentally hit Gunther in the face.

After being checked out, Gunther was said to be fine and there is nothing to suggest he will miss any time. This didn’t look good.

WATCH: Seth Rollins Opens Up On The Future Of Becky Lynch’s Acting Career
She has potential. One of the most common criticisms of wrestlers is that they are only acting. Wrestlers are seen as people playing roles in fake stories. At the same time, they are rarely given credit for their acting skills, as they are often told that they are wrestlers instead of actors. You will occasionally see the two paths cross, and now another top WWE star may be interested in such a move. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WATCH: WWE And AEW Couple Hit The Weights In The Gym Earlier this year, WWE star Becky Lynch appeared on the third season debut of Young Rock. Lynch’s husband Seth Rollins was interviewed by WQAD News (ABC affiliate in Moline, Illinois) where he talked about Lynch’s acting career. Rollins said that Lynch’s acting career is starting to “perk up a little bit and that’s where she wants to go”. He went on to say that if the two eventually went “out west”, so be it, though they would be fine to stay where they are. Lynch has dabbled in acting on and off throughout her t..

WATCH: AEW Dynamite Set For Major Change Going Forward
You have to keep things fresh. Television is the focal point of most wrestling promotions as it is the easiest way to get the fans to see what the company is doing. At the same time, the television show itself has to look good and catch the fans’ attention. That means some changes occasionally need to be made and now one of the bigger wrestling shows going today will be doing just that. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Another Run?

LOOK: WWE Star Changes Up Her Longtime Unique Appearance
It’s one of the most important parts. There are several things that need to come together to make a wrestler a success. While the in-ring and speaking abilities play large roles, one of the first things that fans notice is the wrestler’s look. A wrestler with an interesting look is going to catch someone’s attention rather quickly and now a longtime WWE star has changed her look quite a bit.

It suits her. There are some incredible athletes in wrestling and a lot of them do not get the credit that they deserve for being so skilled at what they do. A big part of this is their fitness and athleticism, both of which can be overlooked. Sometimes you will see a wrestler get the accolades that they deserve for their efforts and another one certainly did that recently.

Multi-Talented: Becky Lynch Filmed Role For Marvel Movie
That’s a big one. Wrestlers have a weird relationship with acting, as they are seen as actors in the ring, but are rarely able to land traditional acting roles as anything beyond a wrestler or some kind of a fighter. You do see someone break through occasionally though and that can make for some interesting moments. Now another WWE star seems to have landed a big acting role, but it isn’t something we can see. According to Fightful Select, WWE’s Becky Lynch filmed a post credits scene for the Marvel movie “The Eternals”, but her scene did not make it into the finished film. There is no word on what the scene would have been, but it was described as being “too depressing”. There is still a chance that Lynch could wind up in another film down the line, though there is no word on what it could be. Lynch is very talented in the ring too.

LOOK: WWE Drops Hint At 46 Year Old Former Champion’s Possible Return
Call it a hint? WWE stars are forced to move around a lot as there are only so many places to put them at any given time. Occasionally they are forced to leave for reasons against their will, such as getting hurt. Unfortunately there is no way around something like this and the question becomes how long it will be before they are able to come back. WWE may have dropped a hint about one such upcoming return. WWE has released a new photo gallery featuring images of wrestlers supporting their nations teams for the FIFA World Cup. One such photo includes Bobby Roode representing his native Canada. Roode also had a SmackDown logo behind his picture, indicating that he is still part of the SmackDown roster. Roode has not wrestled since June 25 and underwent surgery in September. There is no word on when he will be returning to the ring. IMG Credit: WWE Roode is a star when he is able to be in the ring.

Good News: Wrestling Legend’s Health Reportedly Improves After Rough Patch
That’s an improvement. While they are not always credited as such, wrestlers are very talented athletes who regularly get in the ring and put their bodies on the line. There are always going to be risks involved with wrestling and some of the problems do not show up until after a wrestler’s career is over. That is the case with an all time legend, but things might be doing a bit better.

Two Stars Impressed WWE During Crown Jewel
They’ve caught the right eyes. Wrestlers are a lot of things, but above all else they are performers. Their job is to get in the ring and showcase their training and skills, which can take years to develop. It can be notable when someone gets the promotion’s attention, and that was the case again this weekend, as two WWE stars caught the company’s attention on the big stage. This weekend, WWE presented its annual Crown Jewel event from Saudi Arabia. According to PWInsider.com, WWE was impressed by Omos and Logan Paul’s work during the event. Omos lost to Braun Strowman, with WWE feeling that he has been making progress in the ring. Paul lost to Roman Reigns in the show’s main event, where WWE praised his poise and overall work.

Here’s How Much Bray Wyatt Has Done For WWE Since Returning
He’s a big deal. There are certain wrestlers who make their returns and have an immediate impact. You can tell when you are seeing someone special and they change the way a promotion works. That can make for some very interesting moments and you can feel the change taking place. It is currently taking place in WWE and now we have some numbers to back it up. Bray Wyatt made his return to WWE at Extreme Rules in October, revealing himself to be the White Rabbit that had been teased for weeks leading up to the show. During WWE’s Q3 Earnings call, Triple H revealed that the White Rabbit story was credited with causing Extreme Rules’ viewership to rise 30%. In addition, the September 23 SmackDown saw a 20% viewership increase in the second hour on the thought the White Rabbit would be revealed. Wyatt has since been regularly appearing on SmackDown.

LOOK: Seth Rollins Switches Back To Classic Appearance On Monday Night Raw
Call it a flashback? There are several aspects that come together to make a wrestler into a star. While a good many of them come together when someone is in the ring or on the microphone, there are some aspects that you can see just by looking at a wrestler. The “look” is one of the most important qualities a wrestler can have and now one of the bigger stars in WWE has changed their look. This week on Monday Night Raw, Seth Rollins defeated Austin Theory in a singles match. Rollins wrestled the match while sporting a different appearance than usual, as he had dyed part of his hair blond rather than the usual all black look.
