WWE star Tiffany Stratton completely unrecognizable in shocking pre-fame photos before 'Barbie' makeover

WWE Women's Champion Tiffany Stratton is one of the most stunning and glamorous stars in professional wrestling today.

She's also one of the most recognizable names in the industry, but even her most loyal fans may have trouble identifying her in her pre-fame days. 

In resurfaced photos from her high school years, the wrestler, now 26, looked like a completely different person.

While she still had her long blonde hair and muscular physique in the old images, some of her other striking features have changed dramatically over the years.

Stratton's lips are now much plumper and her cleavage has noticeably increased in size. 

Fans in the comments were shocked by Stratton's transformation, with one writing, 'She's now a Barbie doll!'

Another wrote, 'Her lips look way better now, not gonna lie.'

While the star has never confirmed having done any plastic surgery, she did have facial surgery when she first joined WWE's NXT brand after being injured in a road rage attack.

The 26-year-old recently spoke about the incident during her appearance on Logan Paul's Impaulsive podcast, leaving her famous host stunned by the details of how badly she was hurt.

Stratton even admitted she sparked the altercation but evidently had no idea how things were going to end. 

'I don't know if I should talk about this,' she said. 'After one of my (NXT) matches, I cut somebody off from my parking garage and they were like yelling at me from their car.

'So I pulled over... and they pull over and a guy gets out of the car. So I get out of the car. We are talking s*** then his girlfriend gets out of the car. Yeah, two on one.

'I start talking s*** with the girlfriend, I push her, she pushes me back. We start f***ing brawling. And then she takes her long ass nails, gets them in my braid and gets me down on the ground. 

'And this is where it takes a turn. The guy just f***ing stomps on my face. I broke a facebone - nobody knows this, you're welcome. And that's why I was out for so long in NXT.

'It was right here (the bone break - pointing to her left cheekbone). And I still don't have feeling in my tooth right here (pointing to her front tooth). I had a big footmark on my face, too.'

Paul was visibly stunned, shouting: 'He really stomped the s*** out of you!'

The star did not say precisely when the fight happened but her admission that it caused her to miss time with NXT indicates that it was during the 2023-24 timespan she spent with the organization.

Stratton moved from NXT to the main WWE roster in 2024 and has quickly established herself as one of the most iconic current characters in wrestling.

She defended her WWE Women's Championship title against Jade Cargill recently at SummerSlam in New Jersey.

Stratton won the NXT Women's Championship in 2023 and later became the WWE Women's Champion in January, which she still currently holds. 

She's currently in a relationship with fellow WWE superstar Ludwig Kaiser, 35.

Back in April, she suffered a gruesome in-ring injury following a brutal match against WWE legend Charlotte Flair at Wrestlemania. 

She appeared to have one of her teeth knocked out or chipped during the bloody bout. 

Stratton won the match over Flair with her signature 'Prettiest Moonsault Ever' before posing with her retained belt with all her new ailments clear for the world to see.
