Chris Jericho isn’t the only one showing off a new physique—WWE NXT star Lexis King just threw his name into the conversation and backed it up with receipts.

On June 17, Lexis King took to Twitter and posted a mirror selfie showing off his slimmer build. Along with the pic, he revealed how much progress he’s made recently and even gave fans a new nickname to run with.

“I lost 23 pounds in 6 weeks! You all can now refer to me as ‘Skinny Lexis’ 👑👑👑”

The post instantly drew attention, not just for the physical transformation, but for King’s signature confidence. Known for his flashy attitude and sharp delivery, the former Brian Pillman Jr. looks to be taking things up a notch both physically and mentally.

King’s post also comes right as fans noticed Chris Jericho sporting a trimmer look during his time off from AEW. Jericho previously shared an Instagram post showing off his own weight drop, adding that he’ll be at the Washington State Summer Con this weekend.

Body image and criticism have always followed wrestlers in the spotlight, but both Lexis King and Jericho are making it clear they’re in control of their own narratives—and physiques.
