One of the biggest sex symbols of the late ’90s has re-emerged with a new look.
Former WWE superstar Sable (real name Rena Lesnar) was at one time the biggest female star in professional wrestling.
Although she was immensely famous and a three-time Playboy covergirl, she bid farewell to the wrestling world for good in 2004 and completely withdrew from the public eye.
In 2006, she became the wife of WWE and UFC legend Brock Lesnar, marrying him as her third husband. They moved to a remote farm in Canada, allowing her to dedicate herself to being a full-time wife and mother to their two children.
However, Rena, now 57, resurfaced this week alongside Brock at a private country music party.
The former WWF Women’s Champion looked unrecognizable during the outing for one significant reason.
Her signature long blonde hair was no more, with Rena now rocking honey brown tresses instead.

Her husband was also sporting a mini makeover of his own with a bushy beard and long locks – which fans on social media compared to a viking.
As for Rena, wrestling fans were blown away by how beautiful and elegant she still looked despite spending decades away from the squared circle.
‘Omg Sable looks AMAZING. Need her in the WWE Hall of Fame immediately please,’ gushed one.
‘She looks better today than she did 20+ years ago,’ wrote another.
‘Still fine as hell,’ wrote a third, while another fan exclaimed, ‘She’s still absolutely beautiful.’
“Kids, the woman on the right earned a tremendous amount of money and actually pulled in more ratings in her day than your current favorites ever did,” commented one wrestling enthusiast.
Rena first entered the wrestling business in 1996, serving as the manager to her then real-life husband Marc Mero.

Rena’s character Sable was arguably one of the most popular celebrities in America during the height of her fame in the late ’90s
Due to her stunning beauty and scantily-clad outfits, Rena’s popularity exploded to the point that she quickly became more popular than most of the show’s male talent.
Despite her limited wrestling skills, Rena was soon crowned the WWE Women’s Champion and featured as a main draw for many of WWE’s pay-per-view specials.
In 1999, she became the first WWE star to cover Playboy magazine, with her issue becoming the highest-selling issue in Playboy’s history at the time.
She covered the magazine again just a few months later, becoming the first woman to land two Playboy covers in one year.
That same year, Rena quit WWE and filed a $110 million lawsuit against the company, citing allegations of sexual harassment and unsafe working conditions.
One of the most shocking allegations in the lawsuit was that a male wrestler defecated in her bag as part of a sick prank.
Sean Waltman, better known as X-Pac, later confirmed that he was the culprit behind the gruesome number two.

Rena and WWE settled out of court in 1999 and she eventually returned to the company in 2003, reprising her role as Sable in a series of racy storylines.
She covered Playboy for a third time, this time alongside fellow wrestling beauty Torrie Wilson, before eventually leaving WWE for the second and final time in August, 2004.
Around that time, Rena’s then-husband Marc Mero claims that she started having an affair with WWE superstar Brock Lesnar.
She eventually married Brock in 2006 and the couple welcomed two sons together.
Rena rarely appears in public these days. She’s pictured during one of her last public outings at UFC 200 in 2016
After finding love with Brock, Rena ceased almost all of her public appearances and was only ever occasionally seen supporting her husband at the odd UFC pay-per-view.
Lesnar, who grew up on a dairy farm in South Dakota, moved Rena and their children to a rural farm in Saskatchewan, Canada, back in 2014.
In 2010, Lesnar gave a rare interview about his decision to keep his private life out of the public domain.
‘I just don’t put myself out there to the fans and prostitute my private life to everybody,’ he told Yahoo.
‘In today’s day and age, with the internet and cameras and cell phones, I just like being old school and living in the woods and living my life. I came from nothing and at any moment, you can go back to having nothing.’
