The former NFL star has not only made his presence known since being brought back to the Stamford-based company but has also done a tremendous job at getting into incredible in-ring shape.
The WWE Universe has taken notice of Top Dolla's transformation. When the established rapper shared a before-and-after photo showing his weight loss/muscle gain on social media, one fan asked if he could give any tips on how to get into shape.
