There are a few characteristics that can make a WWE Superstar stand-out among the rest in the crowd. WWE Superstars work throughout the year to maintain and develop incredible physiques. It goes a long way in making them look great in front of cameras and inside the ring while wrestling.
While there have been several main-eventers in the history of the company who weren't known for their physique, things seem to be changing now. Recently, we've witnessed certain cases of WWE Superstars going through incredible body transformations, almost surprising the fans with how amazing and different they look as compared to before.
Let's take a look at five current WWE Superstars and their insane body transformations. Be sure to let us know which one is your favorite in the comments section below.
#5 WWE RAW Superstar Braun Strowman
One of the few giants on the current roster of WWE, Braun Strowman has had quite an interesting career with the company. After being a "rosebud" in his early days, Braun Strowman debuted as the fourth member of the Wyatt Family in 2015. One look at the man wearing the black sheep mask and fans couldn't help but be amazed by how huge he was.
Yet, Braun Strowman was never someone who was known for a great physique. But since the last one year, he has truly worked hard and is undoubtedly in the best shape of his career. He recently shared a picture of himself on Twitter, looking all jacked up and claiming that he will soon achieve his final form. His recently debuted bald look also suits him amazingly.
2020 has been the most successful year for Braun Strowman in his WWE career. After winning the Intercontinental Championship earlier this year, The Monster Among Men went on to win his first World title by defeating Goldberg at WrestleMania 36 to become the new Universal Champion. Recently, he was drafted to Monday Night RAW and is all set to represent the brand at Survivor Series 2020 in the traditional five-on-five elimination match.
#4 Former WWE Champion Jinder Mahal
One of the most surprising and incredible body transformations ever by a WWE Superstar is that of Jinder Mahal. Starting off his career on the main roster as the brother-in-law of The Great Khali, he started teaming up with Drew McIntyre and Heath Slater as 3MB in 2012. While the faction was a popular act, they were mostly used in comic relief segments.
After getting released by WWE in 2014, Jinder Mahal started working on the independent circuit. It was in 2016 when he returned to WWE with a completely different and jacked-up look. During an appearance on Talk is Jericho in 2017, Mahal revealed that he stopped drinking alcohol and began to work out to improve himself and it paid off really well.
At Backlash 2017, Jinder Mahal did the unthinkable and defeated Randy Orton to become the first WWE Champion of Indian descent. He held the title for 170 days before losing it to AJ Styles before Survivor Series. It is safe to say that his amazing body transformation definitely played a huge role in the company deciding the put the WWE title on him.
#3 WWE RAW Superstar Akira Tozawa
Former Cruiserweight Champion Akira Tozawa impressed the WWE Universe when they first saw him compete in the Cruiserweight Classic tournament in 2016. Reaching all the way to the quarterfinals, Tozawa was eliminated by Gran Metalik.
Way before joining WWE, Akira Tozawa used to work at Japan's Dragon Gate Pro-Wrestling and surprisingly looked completely different than how fans have seen him. He was far from being called fit but from that to his current physique, Akira Tozawa has done a phenomenal job. He keeps sharing pictures of himself from the past and demonstrating his incredible body transformation.
After a great showing at the Cruiserweight Classic, WWE announced Akira Tozawa to be a part of the company's new cruiserweight division and was added to the roster of 205 Live. He soon made his main roster debut on RAW and joined the Titus Worldwide stable. Tozawa soon got into a feud with the then Cruiserweight Champion Neville and went on to defeat him for the title on the RAW before SummerSlam 2017. He lost it back to Neville six days later at SummerSlam.
Currently, Akira Tozawa has debuted his new gimmick as a ninja and is mostly involved in comic segments for the 24/7 Championship, a title which he has won six times so far.
#2 WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns
Roman Reigns made his main roster debut as part of the famous faction The Shield at WWE Survivor Series 2012. Alongside Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns dominated the scene on RAW and SmackDown, even taking out legends like The Undertaker. While Rollins was The Architect and Ambrose the lunatic one, Roman Reigns was the powerhouse of The Shield.
Yet, Roman Reigns wasn't known for a great physique, partially because he always used to wrestle under a tank top, and partially because he didn't really have a great physique back then. But things have changed now as Roman Reigns worked on his body and is now arguably in the best shape of his career.
After taking a break from WWE just before WrestleMania 36, Reigns returned at SummerSlam 2020 with a new look and attitude. He then aligned himself with Paul Heyman and turned into a full-blown heel, winning the Universal Championship at WWE Payback 2020.
He has since adopted the gimmick of The Tribal Chief and is doing some of the best work of his career, something for which he is getting praised from fans as well as critiques.
#1 WWE Champion Drew McIntyre
In an angle very similar to that of his former 3MB teammate Jinder Mahal, Drew McIntyre's career in WWE has seen both ups and downs. Being hyped up as The Chosen One by Vince McMahon himself during his initial days in WWE, things didn't turn out to be well for him. After his stint with 3MB, Drew McIntyre was released by WWE in 2014.
This was the time when he could have gave up and went into a state of obscurity, but Drew McIntyre did the opposite. He worked on his attitude, wrestling skills, and physique, transforming himself into a beast. He caught the eye of everyone during his time on the independent circuit and IMPACT Wrestling and re-signed with WWE in 2017 and joined NXT.
Now an established main-event player, Drew McIntyre won the NXT Championship. In April 2018, McIntyre returned to RAW and aligned himself with Dolph Ziggler. For the next two years, he was lost in the shuffle on the Red brand but managed to impress the fans and backstage officials with his performance. At Royal Rumble 2020, he got his big break as he won the match and went on to challenge Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 36.
At The Show of Shows, McIntyre defeated The Beast Incarnate to win his first WWE title. During the pandemic-hit era of WWE, Drew McIntyre has stood up as one of the most impressive Superstars for the company. On the RAW before Survivor Series 2020, he won his second WWE title after defeating Randy Orton.
