What people are saying
For me, it was just to be undeniable. I’ve always seen myself in the top main event scene of WWE, and I always reach those peaks.
One thing that also helps with transforming your body is that now, with a little less weight, my ligaments, my joints, everything feels better as well.
It’s almost injury prevention at the same time as making yourself faster and stronger for what we’re able to do in the ring
I was able to drop 50 pounds in the time that I was off.
