5 WWE Superstars who follows strict vegan diet

Veganism is a popular lifestyle choice that has gained traction in the recent decade. Many athletes including wrestlers have now begun to switch to plant-based diets and follow stricter regimes. Here are five of the most popular names in WWE who have publicly expressed their love for veganism and its benefits.

• Sami Zayne

An avid advocate of the vegan diet, Zayne has spoken on its significance and his passionate support for the cause on multiple occasions. On several interviews and podcast appearances, Zayne shed light on his decision to switch to this diet and the initial hurdles he had to overcome to stick to it religiously, since WWE catering didn’t have strict vegan options in his early days in the profession.


Besides veganism, he is also known to support several other progressive causes and has founded a charity named Sami for Syria to stand up for his family’s home-country.

• Lita

The WWE Hall Of Famer has been outspoken about her support for veganism for many years now. She is a passionate advocate for animal rights and has even established a charity for the cause, named Amy Dumas Operation Rescue and Education. Last year in January 2023, Lita officially inaugurated her very own vegan sandwich at Ike's Love & Sandwiches, called the Litacanrana Sandwich.

• Batista

Dave Bautista, popularly known by her WWE moniker Batista, is yet another wrestling star who has adopted a vegan lifestyle. Despite retiring from WWE, Bautista still maintains a good shape thanks to his Hollywood roles, and rigorously follows a strict diet regime to maintain this physique.


Although initially, Batista began by simply cutting off red meat from his diet, as a support for animal rights and also health benefits, he eventually moved on to make more drastic transitions to veganism. However, for him it took a while to get there, given his dietary requirements to maintain a good shape.

• Kofi Kingston

Unlike Batista, Kingston said that it was easy for him to shift to veganism. In a 2020 interview with Muscle and Fitness, the former WWE Champion revealed that he had gotten rid of meat from his diet. He also spoke about cutting off dairy completely as well. Kingston also compared notes with Sami Zayne on veganism and its benefits on the New Day podcast.

• Pete Dunne

Another WWE big gun who has denounced eating meat and opted for veganism is the British wrestling sensation Pete Dunne. Like the rest of the list, he too has spoken against consumption of animal products. In a conversation with Muscle and Fitness, Dunne said, “I’ve been vegan for just over a year now. I’ve always wanted to do this. I love animals, I have two dogs that I love to bits and it’s always created a battle for me where on the one hand I love these creatures but then I can go and eat a chicken breast or a steak.”

During an appearance on the UK morning show Good Morning Britain, Dunne also revealed that there are several other British wrestlers who have given up meat.
