Sure, here's a paraphrased version of the information:

In WWE, many wrestlers are clean-shaven, including the men, for several reasons. One reason is to enhance muscle definition, as a hairless body makes their muscles more visible.

Visible acne on a wrestler's body can indicate steroid use. Steroids are known to cause acne as a side effect, which can be noticeable given that wrestlers often have exposed skin.
