Wrestlers who let their bodies slide: Wrestling is one of the toughest sports around, requiring lifts, kicks, jumps, and extreme endurance, which is why most professional wrestlers keep their bodies in tip-top shape. Eating right, regular workouts, and of course practice in the ring helps keep the men of the WWE bulked up and the Divas Division looking lean and lithe.

Some Superstars past and present, like Rikishi, have a different body type that is part of their gimmick, but even if they don’t fit the typical wrestler mold, all of the athletes have to keep themselves healthy if they want to stay in the ring.
Over the course of WWE’s history, some stars seem to have let themselves go, some so much that they are barely even recognizable when spotted on the streets or making a surprise appearance back in the arena. Whether it’s just because they’ve gotten older or because they have always had struggles when it comes to maintaining their weight, some of these Superstars and Divas have gone under the microscoped and been publicly criticized about their bodies.

When hearing the word “weight problems,” Nikki Bella is the last person to come to mind as someone that weighs too much. However, as seen in an episode of Total Divas, Nikki was facing intense criticism over her weight from her fans. Even her twin sister Brie tried to talk with Nikki about her eating habits and losing some weight. Sure, Nikki had put on some pounds from when she first debuted in the early 2000s. However, most fans will agree that she has always looked great. After entering into a relationship with John Cena and really getting serious about diet and exercise, Nikki has toned and tightened her body so she looks better than ever in 2015 and much different than she did when she was struggling with her weight.

Who can ever forget The Heartbreak Kid? Shawn Michaels was one of the smaller wrestlers in the ring during his prime, and he was just as popular outside of the ring as he was in it. During his years as a wrestler, the good-looking superstar posed for multiple revealing photo shoots to please the female fans, including a shot of him wearing just a title belt and a smile. However, after his retirement, age and years of taking bumps in the ring have taken their toll on him. While he isn’t fat, he does have a more “ordinary” body. Perhaps it is because he is no longer active in the ring and back problems also prevent him from working out the way he used to.
