Well, first, she returned to the gym as early as she could, even though she did not return to the ring immediately. In fact, one of the gyms she works out at, Dead Boys Fitness, posted a photograph of her working out. This was quite a while after she had given birth, but looked in great shape. This is evidence that she had already begun working out much before the post.
She used a distinct combination of exercises to ensure she reached her ideal physique prior to a WWE return.
However, she stuck to both dumbbells and barbells, and included significant power-lifting in her workouts to nudge her muscle memory, and quickly increase her strength to prepare for her in-ring return!
Additionally, she trained with her husband, WWE superstar Seth Rollins, at Black and Brave Academy. It’s a professional wrestling academy, and Rollins himself is a coach there. Therefore, she had immense in-ring training with Rollins before she returned to the ring officially.
The time at the gyms coupled with proper diet helped The Man prepare for the return.
