10 WWE Wrestlers Who Returned Completely Shredded

[@Nater99]

Eddie’s Physique was unreal for a high flyer! Takers physique was unreal for being a giant.

[@cfields8507]

Eddie was super saucy, part of the reason for his heart problems. And taker most likely has dabbled, he's kinda hinted at it in a few podcasts.

This Undertaker's physique, upon his return, is the physique that video games have always been inspired by for his modeling. If you play SvR from 2007 to 2013, you will see that the undertaker has exactly this same physique.

That's sad about what happened with The Undertaker... man trained so hard to give us a banger and yet only got barely 3 minutes of a match...

[@amandagrothmann308]

Right but atleast we saw cena get his ass kicked

[@sbdftw1702]

Yeah, Taker was definitely annoyed by that. He said in a recent interview that both Vince and Cena wanted it to be a squash match but that he was physically ready to have a long one considering we have never really seen a long Cena/Taker match before.

[@DEADtoRISE08]

@@daarksideytboss is boss

[@amandagrothmann308]

@daarksideyt yes taker had control with his script and what he does, but in the end if vince asks taker to put someone over or squash someone taker will. Take the streak for example. Taker has revealed that he thought lesnar shouldnt of been the one to end it cuz brock was already at the top and lesnar had beaten him many times prior so him ending it wasnt going to elevate him at all. But taker did what vince asked of him

[@Snyper1405]

Blame vince for that. Undertaker was heaps disappointed for not getting a decent wrestlemania match after all the training and hard work he put in. Absolutely ridiculous

[@OmegaS-117]

Definitely Jinder Mahal and Drew Mcintyre surprised me the most on their physique when they returned can’t believe Drew Mcintyre didn’t make the list though

[@BeastNationXIV]

Kane too. In 1999, he didn't necessarily "return" shredded, but after WrestleMania he started to slim down. By June that year, KOTR, he was slimmer and more ripped, while starting to wear the outfit that had mesh slits in the wrestling top he wore. By August/September (around the time he'd become tag champs again with X-Pac and had the feud with Unholy Alliance) he was absolutely shredded. But he returned in that same shredded condition in 2002 for sure, and was faster than ever before.

[@MICHAELTUMANGDAY]

Gunther's was inspiring😏 You know a push is coming if the man himself talked to you about losing weight.

[@aaronmason3086]

the undertaker with abs and a full beard was so badass

[@_absurd]

Jimmy Uso is probably an honourable mention here, his physique after returning from the leg injury where he was so stacked and jacked was impressive. him and Jey have always been pretty equal when it came to size with little difference, but then Jimmy came back twice the size

[@flaredubbzy646]

Bruh that LA Knight burn at the end 💀

Dude...LA Knight and Gunther, they'd better book that match sooner rather than later. It would be match of the year candidate.

'07 Undertaker my Goat the man was faster and stronger than I had ever seen him I'll never forget his match against Gregory Helms

[@mehulrathod7739]

Taker was having a great physique since his last run with big evil taker in 03. He lost weight again in 04 but after 05 he started to add more body weight on himself. I remember i was in awww when I saw him showing his shredded body.

[@cenationmiles]

Honorable mention: Brock Lesnar Wrestlemania 29. He came back in April 2012 fresh off his UFC and was very lean and cleaner due to the USADA testing. Fast forward about 11 months and he showed up to mania that year looking this biggest in terms of muscle since is Next Big Thing Run 💉

[@HMWSports]

There wasn't USADA testing in the UFC until 2015, I believe.

[@limpx336]

Lesnar was the same size from 2002-2018

[@kevinstull8552]

When Braun Strowman came back to the WWE, he looked absolutely badass and jacked.

[@kovulion7777]

remember, a ton of WWE Wrestlers know how to get in shape, they only start to lose shape because they're injured and working through the pain

[@jasonlauritsen5587]

People seem to forget how big Undertaker was in the early 90's, he got quite a but smaller after his character started doing alot more active stuff and not moving like a dead guy and was constantly broken and due to that he gradually lost muscle over the next 8 years until he had a long healing break.

[@torvum9474]

lmao, no they lose shape because they cycle off *anabolic* steroids while they stop training to recover and use recovery drugs instead. Not all steroids are built for mass gaining. They also cause sterility (why HHH got so fat while having kids, he can't take them unless he wants a low sperm count)

[@alfrede.neuman8611]

@@jasonlauritsen5587 It wasn't the lost muscle that slowed him down, its that his hips were shot and in desperate need or replacement. He wrestled for YEARS in pain because he thought the show must go on.

[@TrevorD19]

Surprised AJ styles and Brock Lesnar weren't included.

[@ShaunInce123]

This video was most likely being worked on before AJ Styles returned, so that's probably he's not on the list.

I can't remember what was that match called but I remember there are many of them in the ring. Battle royale or something. But that was the time I realize cena was legit strong.

Orton and AJ looks shredded AF

[@lemmyspeaks]

Can we all agree that big shows transformation is just phenomenal. Went from well built, to heavy, to heavier, to cut af. One of the most difficult things I go through is bulking then cutting. I’m the same height and body shape that Eddie Guerrero is i bulked up to my heaviest this past winter at 197 pounds, but when it comes to losing weight for summertime I literally have to starve myself while at the same time Training hard and heavy. I’ll only have a cup of coffee, some yogurt, and a scoop of tuna, and a protein shake later in the day. I’m order to look cut my bodyweight has to be 155 pounds, I usually stay around 175 pounds when cutting because if I got that low I would probably die.

[@sweet_beans269]

[@zanethind]

I like how being in the best shape of your life is supposed to make you a top guy but when Kane was in the best shape of his life in 2015 rocking a six pack the man wasn't even in his proper gimmick because they killed it off and he wasn't even a top guy and his matches got worse too
