10 WWE Stars Who Are RIPPED AS HELL Right Now

5. Tama Tonga

Tama Tonga might make stupid noises, but if anybody else made them, they’d be a joke. 

Tonga gets away with it because he has previous form as a mischievous devil, and because he possesses a cool quality rare in 21st century pro wrestling. He can also go, which always helps. Before the arrival of Jacob Fatu, Tama was quietly instrumental in legitimising the New Bloodline. You could half-buy Paul Heyman being afraid of him. 

Tama Tonga has sported an impressive six-pack since his Guerrillas of Destiny days in New Japan Pro Wrestling, but is even more defined in 2024. He’s a total washboard, and he’s better at oiling up these days. His abdomen area is as flat as the reaction to a Karrion Kross match. 

He’s very much aware of all this, too; where in New Japan, he’d often wrestle in a vest, in WWE, he takes every opportunity to pop that t-shirt off.  

As you would. 

Even if he had an nWo-tier t-shirt designed for him, he’d be loath to wear it.
