5 former WWE Superstars over 40 who are in their physical prime

#2. Former WWE Champion Paul Wight

Paul Wight (FKA The Big Show) competed for nearly four years in WCW before joining WWE in 1999. The 7-foot giant spent around two decades in Vince McMahon's company, during which he became a Triple Crown and Grand Slam Champion. Nevertheless, he left WWE in early 2021.

A few months before leaving Vince McMahon's company, the 49-year-old underwent an impressive body transformation. The former WWE Champion lost 70 pounds to get in the best shape of his life. In an interview with WWE.com, Wight revealed why he decided to change his body shape.

"It was definitely a conscious decision. You don’t make the transformation I’ve made without a serious commitment to changing 40 years of improper diet and improper training. I wanted to make a change, and I was given the time and opportunity to make a change... what I want to do with myself, and really take this challenge on and see if I could make a change," he said.

Wight is currently active in AEW. The former WWE Champion joined Tony Khan's company in February 2021 as a color commentator and in-ring competitor. Nevertheless, he has only competed in three AEW matches so far.
