Dwayne Johnson, John Cena and Brock Lesnar have been the three biggest stars in the professional wrestling industry. With their impressive build, they have garnered a huge fan base. However, this also puts their physique under question as to whether it is the outcome of steroid usage.
While it may be difficult for a common man to spot a natural build compared to the one achieved by steroid usage, it seemed to be a cakewalk for Ronnie Coleman. An eight-time Mr. Olympia, Ronnie Coleman has dedicated his entire life to the bodybuilding industry.
He recently appeared on The Ranveer Show, where he gave his take on the steroid usage of some famous personalities. The two soon deviated their attention towards WWE stars such as Dwayne Johnson, John Cena and Brock Lesnar. Here is all that the 59-year-old bodybuilder had to say about the three stars:
Dwayne Johnson
Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has often found himself on the radar for taking steroids. Joe Rogan has already claimed that Dwayne is not natural and now Ronnie Coleman joins his side. He said that it is very unlikely that The Rock is natural with his physique.

“He probably took a little bit of something here and there, not a lot you know,” said ‘The King’. Coleman also pointed out that the “definition is everywhere on his body.” Coleman justified the steroid usage for the sake of a physique to match their career standards. Back in the past, Dwayne Johnson accepted that he had taken steroids as a teenager without knowing its usage or effects.
John Cena
One of the most promising stars inside the ring, John Cena, has captivated the fans with his charming personality. However, Coleman’s recent claims seem to put a blemish on his career and physique. John Cena previously claimed that he was not on steroids but had been working out since he was twelve.

Coleman believes that Cena probably took steroids long ago in small amounts. “You don’t have to take it for a long period of time. You can just do just a short period of time. you can do like three four months at a time,” said Ronnie Coleman. While the eight times Mr.Olympia was humble in making the claim, the damage had already been done.
Brock Lesnar
Having spent his time in promotions including WWE and UFC, Brock Lesnar found himself in the good books of Ronnie Coleman. “That’s just natural progression of a guy who’s worked hard and genetically gifted,” he said, talking about Lesnar.

The 20+ years of his experience in the bodybuilding industry spoke for itself as he judged different physiques. The definition around the shoulders and a body fat percentage lower than a normal human were the two factors that helped Ronnie give his take on steroid usage. Despite being a personal opinion, his comments have initiated a wave of shock among bodybuilding fans.
