Lots of wrestlers are known for being absolutely shredded but even some of the biggest WWE stars have had periods where they completely let themselves go. Only to dial things back in once they were ready.

From Triple H dramatically losing his famous physique following a groin tear to Sheamus returning heavier than fans had ever seen him. These wrestlers all went through major body transformations. Injuries, life on the road, partying, stopping training and even coming off performance enhancers all played a part.

In this video, we look at wrestlers including Triple H, Sheamus, Edge, Shawn Michaels, Mick Foley, Ric Flair, Big Show, MVP, D-Von Dudley and Stevie Richards and the real stories behind why their physiques changed.

Some eventually got into the best shape of their lives. Others openly admitted just how badly things had gotten but ultimately made a change.
