WWE Superstars' schedules have drastically changed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, several current WWE stars have been able to take advantage of the situation.
Their time on the road has been minimized and several have decided to take the time to exercise in the gym.
Of course, it isn't just the current generation of WWE stars who have been showing off their incredible body transformations during the lockdown. Many former WWE stars and WWE Hall of Famers have been working hard in the gym as well.
The following list looks at just five current and former WWE Superstars who have shared their incredible body transformations online in recent months.
#5. Former WWE NXT UK Champion Pete Dunne
Pete Dunne burst onto the scene back in January 2017 as part of the first-ever WWE United Kingdom tournament. Despite not winning, The Bruiserweight became a huge hit with the WWE Universe.
Dunne has since become a part of both NXT UK and NXT as well as making several appearances on the main roster. He held the UK title for a record 685 days, before losing to the current Champion WALTER.
The past year has been a rollercoaster ride for the British star since he was forced to remain in the United Kingdom following the travel ban to the United States. Dunne was one half of the Tag Team Champions at the time. Due to the circumstances, Dunne was replaced by Timothy Thatcher in his tag team with Riddle.
Dunne took the time whilst he was forced onto the sidelines to get himself into excellent shape. He was then able to make his return to WWE television back in October. The star has since stepped into the NXT Championship picture with Finn Balor.
The former United Kingdom Champion looks significantly different since his return to WWE. He has shown off the incredible change that occurred between March and October on his Instagram page. The Bruiserweight looks as though he is in the best shape of his career at present, which could be why he's one of the stars who are being pushed to the forefront of NXT on the Road to WrestleMania 37.
#4. Former two-time WWE World Champion Christian
Despite the last few years of Christian's WWE career being plagued by injuries, the former WWE World Champion was a surprise entrant in the 2021 Men's Royal Rumble match.
Christian was able to embrace his long-time friend Edge and bask in a moment that many WWE fans didn't believe he would ever be part of. One of the main reasons why Christian made his in-ring return is because of his recent body transformation.
Nutrition Solutions commented on Christian's body transformation through their Instagram account:
"Being a pro athlete his entire life who is well known for his work ethic and competitiveness, Jay committed not just to getting himself back in shape, but getting himself in the best shape of his life at 47 years young! And as you can see, in just 5 months time he’s made some remarkable progress!"
The former WWE star is now 47-years-old but showed that his commitment in the five months leading up to his in-ring return definitely paid off. Christian's return was a hit. There are now rumors that the former star could return on a part-time basis in the future.
#3. Former WWE Superstar Big Cass
Big Cass recently re-emerged at Lariato Pro Wrestling alongside his long-time WWE teammate, Enzo Amore. The two men were released by the company back in 2018 for differing reasons and have since cut out their own careers outside of WWE.
Big Cass has had some well-documented struggles in recent years following his release, but his return showed that the former NXT Superstar could now be in the best shape of his career. Cass (now known as CaZXL) didn't make any public appearances from September 2019 until February 2021.
He looked to be in fantastic shape recently when he made his in-ring comeback for Lariato Pro Wrestling to save Amore (now known as nZo).
When Cass was last seen in a WWE ring, he looked much different. Clearly, he has recently spent some time working on himself and was able to make quite the sensational return earlier this week.
Cass and Amore created so much buzz that there are now rumors suggesting that the former stars still have some support backstage in WWE, which could be a hint regarding their future.
#2. WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash
WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash had quite the career before announcing his retirement back in January 2020. Nash's wrestling career eclipsed two decades and went on to inspire some of the current crop of WWE talent.
Following his wrestling retirement, Nash posted some images on Instagram where he revealed that his recent knee replacement surgery was one of the main reasons for his decision.
The reason I retired was I was deformed and basically crippled. This knee replacement and 2 years of rehab and training has been brutal. To just get my hips to realign was incredibly painful. To the haters.... f**k off To those that have championed my recovery I send my thanks and love.
The two-time Hall of Famer has made several WWE appearances in recent years, but last competed for the company when he was part of the 2014 Royal Rumble match. Even though Nash is no longer an active competitor, the former star showed off quite the transformation after suffering from leg issues for several years.
#1. WWE Hall of Famer Edge
WWE Hall of Famer Edge was one of the most surprising entrants in a Royal Rumble match when he made his return to the company back in 2020.
The former 11-time World Champion was forced into retirement back in 2011 after it was revealed that he was struggling with Cervical Spinal Stenosis. But over the past decade, Edge has recovered enough to warrant a second run in WWE.
At 47-years-old, The Rated-R Superstar isn't the same man that left the company almost a decade ago. As a result, he has made several changes to his health and lifestyle in order to keep up with the daily grind.
Edge posted the above update on his Instagram account following last year's WrestleMania, where he revealed that he reached out to fellow WWE star Rey Mysterio who steered him in the direction of Nutrition Solutions.
It could be argued that the WWE Hall of Famer is now in the best shape of his wrestling career at almost 50 years old.
