10 current/former WWE Superstars who are 40+ years old but have impressive shredded abs

#8. WWE legend Batista

Batista is a multi-time WWE Champion. He signed with Vince McMahon's company in 2000 and made his main roster debut two years later on SmackDown. He spent a decade in the company before leaving in 2010.

The Animal returned to WWE in 2013 and departed again a year later. He, nonetheless, made a comeback once more in 2018 before finally retiring in April 2019.

During his pro wrestling time, the 52-year-old had an intimidating muscular figure. However, he was never as shredded as he is today. The former WWE World Heavyweight Champion explained how he changed up his training routine following his departure from WWE.

"When I was with WWE I was doing a lot more weight training. It was a different look because I had a different character. For film roles, and life in general, I’ve switched to a more cardio-based workout routine," he told Men's Health a few years ago.

Batista is currently a Hollywood movie and TV star. He recently appeared in Army of the Dead, See, and Army of Thieves.

#7. WWE legend John Cena

John Cena is another WWE Superstar over 40 years old who is currently in great physical shape. Like Batista, Cena has also successfully made the transition to Hollywood. Nonetheless, he continues to make sporadic WWE appearances.

The leader of the Cenation returned to WWE last July at Money in the Bank after 15 months of absence to confront Universal Champion Roman Reigns. The two wrestlers squared off at SummerSlam for the big blue belt, but Cena failed to defeat The Tribal Chief.

During his latest WWE appearances, Cena looked in a good physical condition and had ripped abs. In an interview with Men's Health a few years ago, the 44-year-old revealed the secret to keeping himself in the best shape.

"Consistency is key. I hate overcomplicating stuff (...) I train like an off-season football athlete. My schedule is all about resistance. It’s either a push-pull day or an Olympic lifting day," he said.

Cena is currently focusing on his projects outside WWE. He is now working on a few movies and TV shows. The 16-time world champion has not disclosed when he will return to WWE.
