Writer Daniel Cobb

With stars like Roman Reigns, Kenny Omega, and Seth Rollins on top of the wrestling world, it's clear wrestling is in an era of "long-haired" superstars. Although it seems like a new phenomenon, long-haired stars in wrestling are nothing new. From Ultimate Warrior to Kevin Nash, long-haired wrestlers have always been big names all over the world of wrestling.

Some long hairstyles have become inseparable from wrestlers like Scott Hall and Adam Cole, but this list will examine rare photos of ten long-haired wrestling stars rocking short hairstyles.

10 Kenny Omega

Rumors of Kenny Omega returning to AEW set social media ablaze in 2022. He's been one of the faces of AEW since its inception and will stay atop the company until he leaves.

Omega has wrestled with long curls since the early 2000s and has rarely changed his look. A picture of the former AEW Champion with short hair surfaced and showed a rare look of Omega dressed like a member of NSYNC.

9 AJ Styles

AJ Styles is adding great new chapters to his long career in the WWE. Making a name in wrestling took decades for the Phenomenal One, but many fans who knew him in his early WCW and TNA days remember him with short hair.

He began growing out his hair after he departed from TNA. In Japan and the indies, Styles began sporting the long-haired look he still has in the WWE to his day.

8 Roman Reigns

Roman Reigns

"The Tribal Cheif" was the most hated babyface in the history of the WWE. His heel turn has helped him grow into a top star among the fans in the WWE as the WWE and Universal Champion.

Although he's gone through different attire in the WWE, Reigns has sported long hair for his entire time at the company. Before growing out his hair, Reigns wrestled with shorter hair before arriving to the WWE.

7 Ultimate Warrior

The Ultimate Warrior is one of the biggest names in the history of wrestling. His time at WCW was forgettable, but overall, he had a great career. Few stars have a look as iconic as Warrior with his face paint and long hair.

Early in his career, when he was teaming with Sting as The Blade Runners, he sported shorter hair before growing his hair and adding the iconic face paint and tassels.

6 Jeff Hardy

Jeff Hardy has had many different looks throughout his wrestling career. When he arrived to the WWE as a jobber in 1994 he was fresh out of high school sporting hair that was very similar to his high school senior picture photo.

Since growing out his hair, Hardy has often dyed it different colors and color combinations, even during his recent run at AEW.

5 Dolph Ziggler

Dolph Ziggler didn't get the best early start in the WWE. Before he became a long-haired two-time WWE World Heavyweight Champion, he was Nickey in the Spirit Squad and debuted as the caddy to Kerwin White, Chavo Guerrero's awful gimmick from 2005.

When he became "Dolph Ziggler," he started to let his hair grow out and ascended to the top of the wrestling world feuding with everyone from John Cena to Seth Rollins.

4 Matt Riddle

Matt Riddle has fully begun to embrace his "bro" gimmick and that has helped him become a main event star in the WWE. He's one of the most talented wrestlers on the roster and gave WWE Champion Roman Reigns, arguably, his best match of 2022.

Although Riddle arrived to the WWE with long hair, when he competed in MMA he sported a short haircut that can still be seen in his UFC fights.

3 Adam Cole

Adam Cole has flirted with the main event at AEW but still has not become the world champion. He recently won the Owen Hart Foundation tournament, which has been mostly forgotten already. Adam Cole has had long hair for most of his wrestling career but did rock a borderline shaved head during his younger years.

2 Scott Hall

Scott Hall Hair

Few men have had hair as iconic as Scott Hall. He sported his long black hair during his time in the WWE as Razor Ramon and also as Scott Hall at WCW. Even when he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, Hall had his trademark long hair, although it was grey in 2014.

1 Bryan Danielson

Bryan Danielson's looked has evolved with him. He arrived to AEW with a man bun and left the WWE with his beard and long hair. Before he was the "yes" man with 4 WWE Championships, "Daniel Bryan" arrived to the WWE with a babyface. He had short hair with a light beard and looked like a teenager despite being one of the best wrestlers on the roster upon arrival.
