5 current WWE Superstars who have gone through major body transformations
Despite the long-held belief that you’re only as good as your body in the world of professional wrestling, there are a number of WWE superstars who are challenging that assumption wholeheartedly in this day and age. After all, the likes of Kevin Owens and Samoa Joe use their brilliant wrestling and promo skills to create a situation where it doesn’t matter how they look.
Despite this, it is always easier to get the company – i.e. Vince McMahon – behind you if you look like a million bucks. After all, how else do you explain the likes of Titus O’Neil still hanging around on Monday Night Raw week after week?
To this effect, there are WWE superstars who have made a concentrated effort to improve their physique in order to give themselves a better chance to have success in the business. But, there is also the other end of the spectrum. There are superstars who have also let their physical prowess fade away. It is a two-way street after all.
So, without any further ado, here is a list of 5 current WWE superstars who have gone through major body transformations:
#1 Jinder Mahal
The most obvious example of a crazy body transformation and the benefits it brings is one Mr Jinder Mahal. Sure, you might argue that Mahal’s push is related to the WWE’s plans to expand into India, but there is no way someone goes from jobber to No 1 contender for the WWE Championship unless they look the part.
When Jinder left the WWE a few years ago, he was in pretty good shape. When he returned to the company this last year in 2016, he looked like something out of a body building magazine. The transformation was beyond incredible.
