10 Wrestlers Who Got Into Incredible Shape This Year

7. The Undertaker

Down a few pounds and keen to show it in the Raw after WrestleMania 35, The Undertaker went topless for a banter beatdown of Elias in Brooklyn, and fair f*cks to 'The Deadman' for feeling so good.

Looking older than his 54 years in matches against Roman Reigns, Triple H et al, Undertaker's short sharp shocks here and in that WrestleMania 34 curio against John Cena have proven far more effective than exposing his vast limitations in anything going over five minutes.

Now afforded time to try and recover from the damage his body has absorbed during such a lengthy career, the man behind the rolled-back eyes can at long last look after himself. A series of public appearances outside of WWE's auspices may fracture his relationship with Vince McMahon, but it has apparently made ample space in his schedule for normal-person cardio rather than the vaunted "in-ring shape".
