Shane McMahon is facing the Undertaker at WWE WrestleMania 32 this Sunday night from Dallas, Texas. He has been preparing for this Wrestling match with no other than BJJ/MMA legend Renzo Gracie.

Even though WWE is scripted and fake, Renzo says that McMahon has been training with him for the past 8 years.

Renzo told Sirius X:

“In reality, Shane trains with us for over eight years. He’s been training with us for a long time and then he moved out for a few years, on this period he had to leave for a few years, and then he came back. He’s in the best shape of his life,”

“I couldn’t believe the shape that he’s in. He’s been training a lot of Muay Thai with Phil Nurse, who is the coach for Georges St-Pierre and a lot of other good guys, and he’s in really good shape for this match, for this show that they are putting up in the Dallas arena.”

Gracie says that McMahon has fallen in love with Brazilian jiujitsu:

“We’re training jiu-jitsu. That’s how we do, we only train jiu-jitsu. He’s been training a lot of jiu-jitsu — how to apply moves, how to escape moves. The thing is he loves jiu-jitsu and he’s been training for a while. He was training before he was even thinking about doing a match like that. Because he was out for a while, he was a little chubby, and all he did was come everyday at 6 o’clock in the morning and roll. Train for like an hour, hour and a half and now he’s cut, extremely good shape and he’s even enjoying more jiu-jitsu now.

“Doing guard, doing shoulder locks, omo platas, triangles, everything. Jiu-jitsu is addicting, once you begin rolling with your friends, you start knowing what you’re doing, you don’t want to stop.”

Renzo thinks that Jiu-Jitsu will help him in his match:

“Definitely, I see it for sure because he’s moving well and transitions well into positions. So when he grapples, when he wrestles his partner The Undertaker, for sure he will do well.”
