The Psycho Killer of NXT has seen the benefits of yoga. Tommaso Ciampa's had a long history of serious injuries, but he has been able to work himself back to the top of his game over and over again thanks to his determination and work ethic.

Ciampa credited DDP Yoga with getting his career back on track after two shoulder surgeries and an ACL repair, which led him to capture the WWE NXT Championship back in 2018. Ciampa spoke about the importance of, not only DDP Yoga but also the power of positive affirmation and what DDP did for him before his title bout with Aleister Black.

Page brought Ciampa in after he was forced to relinquish the title and was vital to his recovery. Along with all the other routines the former NXT Champion abides by on a daily basis, Ciampa continues to use DDP Yoga and the lessons learned from Diamond Dallas Page.

Drew McIntyre has had two runs in WWE. In his initial stint, McIntyre was in his twenties. But after returning to WWE and taking on yoga, the Scottish Psychopath believes that he's in much better shape now than he's ever been.

"During my last run in WWE I was in my early to mid-twenties...now with the DDPY program, I feel good before the match," said McIntyre. "I'm not limping around like before. I'm walking around like I should be, like a normal person. I would do a significant warm up before every match which includes a little DDPY. Then I can start the match as I want to start it."

McIntyre stated that he was used to heading into a match limping. At the time of the recording of the video above, McIntyre believed he was in the greatest shape of his career. Two years later, and we can see that he's improved, and it's clear that a lot of that is thanks to yoga.
