AEW Powerhouse Brian Cage Wins Men’s Open Title at the MUSCLECONTEST International Nevada Championship.
Professional wrestler and AEW star Brian Cage can now add another title to his already impressive résumé. The powerhouse performer recently stepped on a bodybuilding stage and won the Men’s Open title at the MUSCLECONTEST International Nevada Championship to earn the coveted title of Mr. Nevada.
Known to wrestling fans for his freakish combination of size, strength, and athleticism, Cage showcased a physique that looked right at home under bodybuilding lights. Competing in the Men’s Open division, he outlasted the field and walked away with the overall championship, further cementing his reputation as one of the most physically imposing athletes in professional wrestling.
Following the win, Cage celebrated the achievement on social media while highlighting the role that means the most to him.
“Mr. GMSi just became Mr. Nevada state. One more accolade and moniker to the long, long list. But one I’ve had before that, or any, was Dad. My oldest wasn’t here for it, but he gave me the name and role before any other, and I’ve been grateful enough to keep that going throughout my walk on this great road we call life, and it keeps getting better. Who betta?!”
The victory adds yet another accomplishment to a career that has already spanned multiple sports and entertainment platforms.
Brian Cage Wins Mr. Nevada After Years of Balancing Wrestling and Bodybuilding
Long before becoming a featured performer in AEW, Brian Cage was immersed in bodybuilding and physique competition. While most fans know him as “The Machine” inside the wrestling ring, Cage has spent decades building one of the most recognizable physiques in professional wrestling.
His bodybuilding roots helped shape the look that eventually became his calling card. As he climbed through promotions such as Lucha Underground, Impact Wrestling, and AEW, Cage maintained a training style heavily influenced by bodybuilding, prioritizing size, symmetry, and muscular development alongside athletic performance.
Even while working a full-time wrestling schedule, Cage has continued to share physique updates, training sessions, and nutrition strategies with fans, demonstrating a commitment to bodybuilding that extends far beyond simply looking the part for television.
