Filling in some of the holes in the above-listed (a check on wikipedia or onlineworldofwrestling.com would probably round up even more results):
John Cena: Prototype "Ruthless Aggression" Cena
Ed Leslie: Dizzy Boulder Dizzy Hogan Brute Force Zodiac
Dwayne Johnson: Flex Kavana
John Layfield: Acolyte Bradshaw (they turned into the APA, but the original Acolytes were much different)
Kane: Bruiser Mastino Christmas Creature Doomsday
Big Show: Most of those listed aren't gimmicks, just angles. The time period where he was doing all the impersonations was a definite gimmick change though.
Arn Anderson: Marty Lunde
Alberto Del Rio: Dos Caras Jr
Papa Shango: Soultaker
Tensai: Baldo Giant Bernard
Dustin Rhodes: TAFKAGoldust Seven the brief "religious" gimmick

Lance Storm pretty much had the same gimmic: no nonsense technical Canadian wrestler. Or am I trying to forget some embarrassing gimmic? Thrillseekers Lance. Also his "I'm fun, not boring" stint somewhere near the end of his WWE run. I'm pretty much mad at everyone for never telling me dancing Lance Storm used to be a thing. I went all these years only knowing of Lance as this super serious dude to the point where it became a meme and then about a week or so ago I'm watching Raws from late 2003 and he comes out dancing down the ramp. I think it's safe to say I haven't laughed that hard in a really long time.

Chris Benoit? Ric Flair? Andre? Did their gimmicks really change? Benoit was the masked Pegasus Kid, Flair was the masked Black Scorpion and Andre was the masked Giant Machine. Also, before his near-death in a plane crash in the 1970s, Flair had more of a bodybuilder gimmick. Bravo. Totally never thought about Black Scorpion. Forgot about Pegasus Kid, and I never knew about Andre.
