Mike Kanellis has been posting pictures in recent months to document the work he’s been putting in the gym.
Kanellis’ WWE career hasn’t exactly gone as expected but he is hoping to get a shot as a regular on TV as his wife Maria (who is dealing with a broken hand) gets ready to return to TV for the Evolution pay-per-view.
He noted on Instagram that he’s put in the work to overcome his addiction to pain medication. He wrote, “If you don’t like where you are at…..change it. I showed up to @wwe addicted to pain killers and out of shape. I decided that was not how my story was going to end. So I changed it. #processoveroutcome #fitness #fitnessmotivation #fit #fitfam #gymmotivation #gym #gymtime #motivation #grind #putinthework #wwe @wwe”

It’s tougher for wrestlers to stand out on the main roster since they have so many names under contract but it’s good to see that Kanellis has been doing everything possible to clean his life out and to (hopefully) get noticed by management.
In recent weeks, he has been losing matches to No Way Jose, Titus O’Neil and Zack Ryder at some live events.
