10 Most Radical Body Transformations In Wrestling

7. Jinder Mahal

Like most WWE superstars, Jinder Mahal was always in good shape. However, during the end of his last run - when he was playing one of Heath Slater's underlings in the Three Man Band - he clearly wasn't as muscular as he'd been in the past. It hardly seemed to matter, though, given how little he was emphasized, and he was released before long.

With the reinstitution of the brand split last summer, WWE reached out to several former talents to help pad Raw and Smackdown's rosters, and Mahal got the call to come back to Raw. Though he beat Slater in a match to reclaim his spot in the company, it soon became clear that WWE didn't have much in the way of plans for him. He fell to a regular role on Main Event, and fans forgot about him again.

A couple of months ago, though, he turned up back on Raw in an alliance with Rusev - sporting a brand-new body. He was huge, jacked, ripped, and just about any other adjective that comes to mind. Naturally, it raised speculation about how, exactly, he managed such a turnaround.
