A former WWE star has revealed a major update about his personal life. Less than a year after signing his Legends deal, an ex-Cruiserweight Champion has lost weight.
Hornswoggle was with the company from 2006 to 2016, starting as the unnamed leprechaun under the ring, helping Finlay win his matches. He would eventually get his in-ring name and had a memorable career, from winning the original Cruiserweight Title to being revealed as Vince McMahon's son to becoming part of D-Generation X.
Around eight years after leaving the company, the 38-year-old star signed a Legends deal. The contract allowed him to benefit from being part of the company via merchandise, action figures, video games, and more. He could also make future appearances at events, like when he was part of WWE World during WrestleMania 41.

Hornswoggle felt at home at WWE World
As mentioned above, Hornswoggle was at WWE World during WrestleMania 41 weekend in Las Vegas as part of his Legends contract. He told Chris Van Vliet that the company, Fanatics, the fans treating him kindly, and putting on a suit made him feel at home.
"I did the signing at the World, and I didn’t think that would ever happen again, and so I needed to wear the suit. And like putting a suit on was emotional, because I felt home, literally, I felt home. For those three hours, being treated incredibly by WWE, by Fanatics," Hornswoggle said. [H/T chrisvanvliet.com]
Hornswoggle last appeared at the Greatest Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia as one of the surprise entrants.
