Montez Ford didn’t just show up on RAW after WrestleMania — he completely rebuilt himself before stepping back on TV.

After going viral earlier this year for his “I GOT MY WEIGHT UP” moment at an NXT live event and then returning alongside Angelo Dawkins on the April 20 RAW, Ford has now revealed what really went into that comeback.

Taking to Instagram on April 22, 2026, Ford broke down everything he did behind the scenes — and it wasn’t just about getting back in ring shape. Before laying it all out, the post made it clear that his time away wasn’t just downtime — it was a full reset across multiple parts of his life.

“GAINED SOME WEIGHT. MADE A BABY. KEPT IT A SECRET FOR 6 MONTHS.”

He then shifted into what it took physically to get back to WWE-ready form, revealing that the turnaround didn’t take years — just a focused stretch of work. But it didn’t stop with fitness. Ford also showed everything else he was juggling during that same period, showing just how packed things were behind the scenes.

“TRAINED 8 WEEKS. LOST THE WEIGHT. “FINISHED THE ALBUM. COMPLETED 8 MILLION ‘HONEY-DOs’”

And finally, he tied it all back to the moment fans saw on Monday Night RAW this week— his return right after WrestleMania 42.

“RETURNED THE MONDAY NIGHT AFTER MANIA. KINGS BACK.”

Bottom line — Montez Ford didn’t just come back, he reset everything before doing it. From weight gain to an 8-week transformation, becoming a father, and still making it back in time for RAW, his return wasn’t random — it was planned.

Do you think this version of Montez Ford is about to take things to another level in WWE, or was this just the start of something bigger? Let us know.
