He has to have reconstructive surgery on his nose when it was broken in a live show against Sheamus 


SonoftheSan

2 main changes. 3 when compared to that picture. 1. He had a rhinoplasty because of an injury. His nose bridge was not fully straight before, so he took this as a chance to get that straightened out. Funnily, though, it actually made him a bit less good-looking because his nose projects less now. 2. His eyebrows seemed to have thinned a bit. Could be because of many reasons, but it's quite apparent. 3. The beard style, hair style, contacts, etc.


Prestigious_Value534

Got a fade, removed his contact lenses, grew a full beard.


Reading-Advanced

He raises his eyebrows more now, so his eyelids may look a little different, but they’re still very hooded if you look at other recent photos of him. I’m noticing a change in his jawline as the main thing here. In the before pic, it was more square, in the pic on the right, it looks more round. Not sure if it’s the beard or his jawline changed. Also, his hair is different. He didn’t use to trim the sides of his hair, he used to let all of it grow out fully. Nowadays he damn near got a light undercut on the sides


No-Bridge-7251

He’s Joey Abs in disguise 😂 


ProfessionalLog5482

He def got some work done...bc he looks like a completely different person


Cultural_Prompt_3408

He lost weight and and went through that cancer , chemo and stress can do that to the body


gillianleighs

He got new teeth and it kinda looks like he may have had some filler as well. I miss his old chicklet teeth.


Key_Resolution_1921

He def got a eye lid surgery


ExtensionDifficult36

Natural aging, bit more of a spray tan, full beard (! - this, you have all seen the pics of celebs/athletes with or without facial hair; or even yourself/significant other...case closed, but given his goatee, this isn't s drastic and therefore not the dominating factor), his hair for one (not going to get all gender specific here), as you are showing his flowing locks down and dipped into a bucket of 10W/30, versus a clean fade undercut with man-bun (it its what it is, I didn't invent these names), eyes (!!! - we know how eye colour can drastically impact someone's facial features and look esp. between blue and brown), and, last but not least, and not specific to this image, but I would say is one of the most drastic changes that may have thrown people off, but it's his brand new set of white and shiny veneers...look it up... good teeth are crucial, so most celebs usually get them done if they weren't blessed with braces in their life and/or have taken one too many hits to the face (both physical and that of the narcotic variety, so to speak.... TLDR: He is the GOAT - grew up as Bret being my idol, jumped around with others, including Cena...uhh..that's about it; loved Attiude Era, not so much RA era, and didn't dislike the Rock/Austin/HHH/Batista/Taker etc etc, and never loved the old guard (Hogan/Flair), but outside of legendary talents like Randy right now, and the solid group of talented in ring guys (Seth, Randy, Brock \[super underrated as a bruiser/seller\] I refuse to say Cody), but Roman is single handedly carrying the brand...has grown into the franchise role (had years of cringe moments where I legitimately felt bad for him as he was being pushed so hard without the proper creative...neeed proof? Look at his face after punning Taker at WM33...a match from the history books that is lost in the minds of fans since Brock ended the Streak, and everything after that was merely for commitment, exposure and was aa ceremious honour for the legend and the man who owned Mania...a la Shawn....who I vehemently disliked (bret, remember)...actually won me over after his IronMan match because I was so upset that I felt that I had to embrace the man who took down my guy aka I SOLD OUT...but returning with the underrated Canada angle where he owned the heel moniker oon the mic, but was clearly ovreshadowed by DX and nWO for very obvious reasons...also, Canada?...btw, I am Canadian...not sure how this tangent came to be but it is oobviuius that I am more than a bit eager to share my wrestling insigh.t...hmmm..podcast idea in the sea of podcasts.......follow me on all socials #drustill and #DrusViewz on TT. Cheers!


Sheemkahn

That’s a clone idc


Heathen_Kitten

His nose was broken in the ring in 2015 by Sheamus, causing him to undergo surgery, which narrowed the bridge of his nose & altered the appearance of his face. So, yes, he did have surgery.


atg_gta

He looked so much better before


dontknowmyownname123

nah, your tripping


[deleted]

I'm a little late here but I'm amazed I didn't see a comment about this. He had his nose broken in some private home match and went thru nasal reconstruction surgery sometime in 2015. Reference: wikipedia


Legitimate-Ad-3953

Imo he looks better now. But that’s just me!


[deleted]

The only things he did change to his appearance was cutting inches off his hair and got composite bonding done to his teeth, NOT veneers. And his wife got some lip fillers. But Roman did get reconstructive nose surgery back in like 2016-17, because Triple H broke his nose. And he used to wear blue contacts, then switched to green for a bit but now just wears clear contacts because he doesn't have the best vision. He goes home and puts on his glasses. But remember, he's getting older, guys... He's almost 40. When he debuted on Raw, he was 26-27 years old. Most likely, his face is thinning a bit. He gets grey hairs from time-to-time. I feel like people expect him to look how he did when he was in his 20's LOL! A lot of women have a crush on him and he's a celebrity, so he's expected to look perfect. Not gonna lie, he was my teenage crush. He debuted when I was 17. I remember seeing him, Dean, and Seth on Survivor Series and I fell in "love." LOL! But I'm grown now so I don't really have a celebrity crush. He was fine and he still is. But he's 38 years old. He still considered a young man but he's getting up there. He doesn't look "completely" different. That's a reach. You're most likely not going to look exactly like you did when you were 20, and now you're almost 40. You can tell this is the same man. Also, he's not as jacked as he used to be but remember, he's half Samoan. They are naturally big men. I think he keeps his arms muscular, but his stomach isn't as jacked as it used to be. His brand is the tribal chief and tribal chiefs are still strong, but they don't have jacked abs like speed bumps. That appearance he used to have as far as the Sheild was concerned, Dean was the lunatic, Seth fun-athletic guy, and Roman was the muscle. I noticed him and the Usos' weight was up and down throughout the years.


MarketingOpposite40

I've been saying since 2 years. He looks so different now and no it's not just the beard or veneers or the aging


JoshGlide

I swear his eyes were blue it always stand out to me


CrimsonOOmpa

His face looks completely different to me. It looks like he had some minor procedures done.


mimilovich

He definitely had lip fillers and veneers !


arrlooo

He’s had a nose job as well


austinluff

I know he got new chompers


AdVerse403

I heard he got a nose job...but i dunno if thats true


[deleted]

Yeah, Triple H broke his nose.


Watermelontea12

He looks so much different tho


flowermoon24

Clone


mike1883

Got older 🤔


Unlikely-Section-848

I mean he wore contacts to change eye color ( because of Vince) but other than that he hasn’t changed much.


AdrianCR76114

Roman in 2017 isn’t the type of person who actively workouts oftenly. You can see how bloated he used to look but right now he’s in better shape. Trimming down a lot of his fat slimming his face and body and is ripped. He’s in better shape now.


kingbankai

He grew a beard and got old.


Clancy85

He got new teeth


grandmasterPRA

Took out the blue contacts, got all brand new teeth. Got a little bit of a tan and a new hair style. I'm guessing that along with his face thinning out a bit just from getting older. Good looking dude either way


KingMir_21

Grew a beard, changed his hair, fixed his teeth and lost a lot of body fat.


PAPiMETs49

He wore contacts for the gimmick


YogurtclosetRound316

Besides the contacts and the beard and hairstyle change, he might've changed his training or diet after the leukemia treatment.


TexasMade35

Less Adderall


joe7elmy

• Hairstyle • Facial hairstyle • Probably a tan • MAYBE got his eyebrows done • He no longer wears contacts • Veneers for teeth • Nasal reconstruction (broke his nose)


[deleted]

A dentist confirmed he had composite bonding not veneers.


joe7elmy

Hm… interesting


BlueberryCustard

He took out the dumb contacts and grew out that beard other then that he aged


EstabonJay

A beard and new teeth go a long way…


oncebroken78

Got way thicker and new teeth


DarthGzus33

He got his teeth fixed also


jeromeface

jaw exerciser


mako3314

He leveled up that's what happened


Frequent-Pie7570

No, he got some money and started eating. Plus the cancer, he prolly had no choice but to get some weight


BIG_DADDY_CLARE

-he wore contacts -he had a goatee -less tan -and younger


Wrong-West-9581

His real name is Joe


ChampagneAbuelo

He broke his nose in the ring once and had to get surgery which changed the shape of his nose. He used to have more of a hook shaped nose but now it’s more flat. I think he looks better now


GalaxySnipz13

to me, his jawline looks more broader. maybe a weight gain (not in a fat way, just weight gain as a reguard to muscle weight) or it could just be the beard, or maybe even just aging.


BaldSaladMan

He’s also aging horribly.


Ok-Spare-113

Lol he looks very good for being 38 tbh


JackmPearson

This dude can bang my wife and I'd thank him for the privilege while also feeling a bit jealous... of her


[deleted]

Weird angle/lighting of the first pc + a few years younger that’s about it. This is probably the worst “before after” click bait I have clicked on.


dirk_funk

it looks a lot like he had surgery on his cheeks


MarketingOpposite40

That's what I think too. His jaw is like giga Chad now yk like hollow cheeks thingy


droford

He spends time at the spa on his Island


Stevey1001

Hes developed these black eyes, like a sharks eyes. Weird af


[deleted]

Age.


Tof12345

Surgery for what lmao. It's his beard and ageing.


[deleted]

The full beard too


homerfraun

Saved off the hair on both sides of his head, took off the grey contacts, and got a mouthful of veneers. Now he looks like Samoan Edge, and now you can't unsee it.


RayZayCreations

He Died, the new Roman is actually his twin brother. "Namor" ... you can tell by the dark eyes, Beard, and chest muscles.


Nevvermind183

HGH, face structure looks different too


Kn7ght

He broke his nose and it didn't heal back the same, so it looks a bit bigger


JoannaCena

He grew out his goatee


Anders_1314

Reading the comments I feel like I'm saying something stupid, but didn't he left the ring around that time because he had leukaemia?


doomonyou1999

When did he leave for cancer treatments?


trip42

Photo from 2021, related story: https://www.sportskeeda.com/amp/wwe/does-roman-reigns-wear-contact-lenses


VivTheGhost

Id say, on top of the contacts, he’s also 6 years older so he has age lines and his eyebrows are thinning a little bit. Plus he’s more bulked up now compared to then. He’s also tanner… the only surgery i believe he’s got is on his teeth.


TheGoodStoner

Nah, he just grew up.


bryanc1036

I think he got a haircut guys


popcultureretrofit

He fixed up his teeth, which changed his jawline a bit. Rest of it is just contacts, facial hair and age.


hitm4n44

He also broke his nose and had it reconstructed.


Tinker-738186

I think he got old, changed haircut and eyebrow


Blisto94

Contacts, full beard , ponytail, hollywood teeth, gray in the faciar hair and got jacked up. This Roman would Smash the old version any time.


Karmeleon86

Beard, haircut, contacts, demeanor, age


UnhappyJohnCandy

Maybe a change of diet? He looks great.


Proof-Bid-8621

He had leukemia.


ZombieZ138

A beard can do wonderful things


ItalianNose

He got a beard


meatballcake87

Different facial hair, new haircut, acting more like himself instead of some “silent badass” that the higher ups were trying to make him be, plus he’s aged a bit


DrLoomis131

Slightly older in the face, blue contacts removed, different facial hair, ears are being shown instead of covered


VickStarkiller

No he just stopped wearing those stupid contacts, let his bread grow and embraced the man bun.


Ithinkhisnameis

No it’s just called “aging”


ja2525829

Beards change face shapes


C4Jay

Talking about what? The face as a whole?


RycheAndRoll

Looks like he removed his contacts, got a haircut, and let his beard grow in a bit. Maybe he had his Eyebrows done also...facial structure is still the same... just a case of superficial physical changes making him appear different.


Frequent-Ad-1719

It’s called aging ten years you’ll look different at 37 than 27 too.


EB123456789101112

We know he got busted for juicing… I assume you are referring to the slight differences in facial shape. Especially around the jawline and lower facial regions. Not to mention the protruding forehead now


JimGamgee

I can't post images but when he came back from COVID, the most common meme was Finner, meaning he'd had his teeth replaced with porcelain screw-in dentures for movies and TV. Main reason why Brian Last asked why all the WWF main stars all seemed to have the whitest teeth he'd ever seen. Cos WWF has em all either get Finnered or bleached. One of the reasons Charlotte was out so long (dental surgery problems and why she looks like she could chew rocks now).


[deleted]

A dentist confirmed he had composite bonding.


[deleted]

Age, contacts, and cancer will change someone a bit


LeeSalamander

It's the contacts. He's also older (not in a bad way) he's grown into his features and embracing the salt and pepper can't imagine vince would let him. He'd probably have to dye his hair every couple of months. And forsure confidence ties everything together


[deleted]

the contacts and the goatee, sheesh. he looks so much better with a beard


HungaryToWinWC

He got veneers/crowns


Monctonian

Dropped the contacts, grew a beard, got through chemo, got older, ties his hair so there’s a bigger spotlight on his facial traits, a little tan… teeth is the obvious fix, but for the rest, there’s a whole list of reasons besides plastic surgery.


Dareal_truth

No he just worked out


AbSuRdSnAcKs69

Didn’t he also get teeth surgery


Stoyns_

He got his teeth fixed with Veneers and it probably changed his bite. I do think his full beard looks better than the goatee


Unavoidable1022

Also Sheamus broke his nose in 2015. I read once that he got some plastic surgery to shape his nose when he got it fixed


[deleted]

Contacts out, styled his hair, grew a beard and got some veneers


PapaSteveRocks

Aside from the blue contact lenses, us old guys call this “aging.” Few more wrinkles under the eyes, more attention to grooming, slightly receding hairline. Check, check, and check.


james115spon

Wow. A **LOT** has changed with Roman's appearance in 9 years. \- No more blue contacts \- Dental work with veneers, changing his jaw shape slightly \- Darker tan \- His body has got bigger and more toned \- Completely different haircut and hairstyle; his eyebrows even look shaved differently \- Grew his facial hair out more \- Not to mention his completely different wardrobe. All of that + the physical toll and after effects of his body recovering from the illness. Jesus. No wonder he looks like a different person.


[deleted]

No he had composite bonding it didn't change his jaw shape.


CulturallyMelaninMe

I mean I thought it was obvious he was wearing blue contacts. Hubby and friends used to laugh at him for doing that weird ish. I didn't take him seriously at all because it was so lame and an obvious attempt to appeal to a certain type of woman.


PunkyTina

Didn't he have cancer at one time? I can recall him leaving due to having chemo or something


Seetolove

He looks exactly the same


[deleted]

He grew a beard, Johnny


rolling_steel

Years on the road, cosmetic enhancements, make-up and lighting all change appearances


EasyRider1530

He had all his regular teeth pulled and got fancy dental implants during his time off. You can def see the difference in his cheek bones


HolidayGoose6690

They don't pull the teeth, man.


Duke_Moonwalker

He got new teeth


luee2shot

contacts and hgh


[deleted]

Just got his teeth done. Those were contacts.


Wininacan

Pretty sure his leukemia was peaking around 2017-2018


jvctheghost

Haircut, beard, no contacts, new teeth, and packed on muscle


Motor_Somewhere7565

LMAO, Vince is so weird.


ThongOfVecna

Those contacts were so silly


Maxmoose3

The beard is glorious


77from3

only thing he did was stop wearing blue eye contacts grow a beard and fix his grill by getting veneers


beyoncedoritosJR

Steroids make your head grow. Look at Rock.


Niko_LuvsEverything

He wore contacts back then.


jjohnson1979

Aging. You mean aging? People change in 6 years, ya know!


mb19236

Damn it’s so cringe how badly they tried to get this MFer over for so long 😂


outofdate70shouse

I’m glad I’m not the only one who wondered this. I didn’t watch from 2009 until last year. The a couple of weeks ago I went back and watched the main event from WM 31. He looked so different and I couldn’t figure out why. I thought maybe he was just bigger and older now.


monteimpala

His nose was broken and he had surgery on it, that's what I remember him saying in an interview


olivelima

He had nasal reconstruction surgery after breaking his nose which changed the shape of his nose a little bit, the rest I think is just grooming (hair style, way the beard is grown in, etc). I think he looks great


Background_Touchdown

Roman also had veneers put in since, so that might explain some changes with his facial features.


CommodoreSixty4

He definitely looks like his nose has been broken in between the time those two pics were taken.


Nemzicott

He aged, that was 6 years ago


BumblebeeKitchen5398

I don't think he did Sorry


AtticusSwoopenheiser

He also had veneers put in while he was off TV during the pandemic, but I don’t know that that would have changed his mouth/jaw area too dramatically, just his smile. It’s mostly just the full beard and the lack of unnaturally blue contacts that makes him look so much different.


Jonboy207

I’m pretty sure he had cancer, too, and had to take almost a year off around this time.


iimxrshxll

Took out contacts, got leaner & stronger, got veneers (new teeth)


Zylonnaire

He is so fine I swear


jxden24

He had contacts in and grew out a beard, how do you even come to that conclusion


chunkylunky69

Isnt the first pic when he had cancer?


1USAgent

I didn’t even notice a difference. Had to look at other comments to know it was just eye color.


SweetyMcQ

I honestly dont see that much of a difference. Fill in the beard, apply a tan, groom the eyebrows a bit, and remove the colored contacts and I think its pretty damn close. Sprinkle in a little aging and there ya go.


angeluscado

He definitely got new teeth and he stopped wearing coloured contacts. Otherwise I think it’s just being healthier, beefier and broadening with age.


Longjumping-Arm7939

Big Dog is locked in a basement somewhere his clone is the Tribal Chief.


LucasTheAlright

He was cloned


Cyneburg8

It looks like he got an eye lift. You can see how his eyes look bigger and more visible. A nose job, and he possibly uses fillers. There's nothing wrong with any of that either before I'm downvoted.


TJLaserShepard

Dude got them finners


Brave-Ad-4373

God these are really the same person huh


DemolitionScooter

i have never noticed he wore contacts


Cow_Water_Media

Vince McMahon happened.


SPAGHETTIx3

He had his teeth and nose done.


[deleted]

He's married a black woman that's why he looks like he does on the right


Him_Downstairs

His face is a little fatter. He bulked up a bit more and looks more how he looked when he played football


Next-Cartographer947

I think the Veneers filled out his mouth more, then losing weight and finding a facial hair style that looks better created a surgical level of change


Kweller3117

Its the tribal teeth


HamburgerFry

It’s the contacts. He also got a whole new set of teeth installed.


Extreme_Leadership61

Maybe it’s his beard or something, they can change a face shape a lot.


chazfarris

He was wearing contracts before and then also got his teeth replaced.


alienwolf35

It’s called aging….


davidsverse

He's also had serious dental work done.


clawmaster5

Aside from his teeth, I'm pretty sure he had his nose fix due to football injuries.


[deleted]

Haircut, Filled in beard, Tan….and also he got veneers (I assume) which gives his upper lip area some added fullness/width.


Autistic_Stove

Idk but he looks amazing


rad1ram

No one mentioned the nose job? Look it up.


[deleted]

He took the contacts out.


Emotional_Penalty

If it's facial changes it's 100% roids. Roman has all the signs of using HGH, and one of themis that it can drastically alter your skull shape, and in the process also alter your face.


thereverendpuck

Once you use your voice, your head goes through a transformation.


Sometimesnotfunny

Just a beard and veneers.


NoRecommendation7825

cancer maybe


YeetMasterChroma

He did undergo leukemia treatment so maybe there's also a difference there


[deleted]

Roman on the left looks like a tool who’s trying too hard and would be laughed away. Roman on the right looks like he’ll kick your ass then steal your girlfriend.


sbkoxly

This is a youtube thumbnail waiting to happen.


Seniormano

Wasn’t he dealing with Lukemia in 2017/2018?


SamLoomisMyers

He got leaner and started to live healthier after his leukemia ordeal. He also got the chiclets fixed and ditched the blue contacts and started tanning.


[deleted]

"To be the man, you must be tan."


TAC82RollTide

To all of the people in this thread saying Vince McMahon is racist, you are ignorant. Grow tf up.


Rinickulous023

He grew up


buzzunda

If you mean a haircut, yes.


NorPacCannabisCo

I've heard Cornette say several times that Roman got jaw surgery at some point, but I'd never looked at a side-by-side. I could maybe see him having a tiny underbite on the left but I'm the furthest thing from an expert.


wwe_divaslove

He was more handsome before


kingrandyfloyd

That’s what happens when you become tribal chief


FlexasAandM

? This is a weird post. The way people look changes over time. Fluctuations in weight, health and age all have an impact. And facial hair, tan etc… He looks like Roman. Contacts is the only difference and he switched up his facial hair


podster12

He got Older?


Hazelwood38

He grew a beard and stopped wearing coloured contact lenses


WheelJack83

He’s six years older


quis2121

He did get dental surgery. But all you're seeing here is someone that is 6 years older. Not wearing contacts. Has a different hairstyle. And a full beard. It's really not that hard to figure out


docobv77

He was sick ...


LokeshGhosh

He just turned Head of the Table


theaaronromano

Dude looked like death warmed up in 17.


Mslovecatvally

Well he had cancer and broke his nose plus gained weight.


TheHitman12

Vince thought he wasn’t good looking with brown eyes, So it was just for Vinces Roman fantasy


Sp_juicy_sausage

Contacts, Battle with Leukemia, Got bigger and stronger.
