10 WWE Stars Who Are RIPPED AS HELL Right Now

8. AJ Styles

This transformation went exceptionally well. 

AJ Styles - who, prior to 2024, Paul Levesque really didn’t seem to see a great deal in - returned to WWE after a two month absence in December 2023. He did so sporting what was, by his standards, a hulking physique. AJ had never “looked” so good in a purely cosmetic sense, but he built his legacy on dynamic, state-of-the-art action. 

Would a heavier body weigh him down further, after he had struggled to recover his prime form throughout the 2020s? 

No; if anything, the opposite was true. 

Styles bulked up and sped up at the same time - in his mid-to-late 40s, incredibly. His inflated physique, with his enormous biceps and towering traps, was reflective of a renewed level of motivation. 

Perhaps he was very aware that he was no longer anywhere near the conversation for Best In The World and wished to recover his legacy; his Backlash France main event against Cody Rhodes and nostalgic dream match against Naomichi Marufuji were evidence of that. 

AJ was bizarrely anonymous across the last four years; this year, looking more like a star than ever, he took part in one of the loudest wrestling matches ever promoted.
