WWE Apparently Wants Mansoor to Bulk Up

WWE Superstar Mansoor had a tremendous performance while working in 205 Live, as he had a very impressive winning streak. Mansoor was then called up to Monday Night RAW, where he faced off against Sheamus.

Unfortunately for Mansoor, he would lose to Sheamus in a WWE United States Title match and thus his streak was broken in the process. Since then Mansoor hasn’t had much to do in the company and it seems there is a reason for that.

While writing in his column for ArabNews, Mansoor talked about the hurdles that he has to cross and that includes being told by WWE officials that he has to gain more muscle. Due to that, Mansoor is now training with Sheamus’ personal trainer and it has proven beneficial for him.

“Every time you achieve a goal, you set a new one. That is something I really believe in because if you stop trying to improve, you will decline. Now I have established where I am, the most important thing is to establish who I am. We are working on my image — new music, new logos, etc. — because now I have been introduced, it is important to establish my character on the show. To do all of that on a huge stage such as RAW is a little intimidating, but very exciting.”

“I am growing, learning, and having these huge life experiences, and it is bizarre to think about how crazy this journey has been. The transition from performing on NXT to performing on RAW or SmackDown is so big. To even appear on the show once puts you in such an exclusive club so I take it as a privilege. One of the things WWE said is they would like me to put on some muscle mass, and right now I am working with Sheamus’ personal trainer, who has been really helpful. I am counting my macronutrients and calories, and recording all of my reps and sets in the gym. It is crazy how much difference writing stuff down and tracking it makes.”

There is no doubt that Mansoor is a very talented WWE Superstar and given enough time and proper direction, he is likely to achieve a lot in the company. We will have to see what the company has planned for Mansoor.
