YouTube is bigger today than ever, and sometimes it feels like just about everyone is creating content on the platform at the moment. More and more wrestlers are joining the platform, especially recently with more superstars stuck in their homes.

Using YouTube is beneficial for performers in many different ways. In some cases, it enables them to open themselves and their lives up to fans and become more relatable. For other stars, it is a chance to strengthen their brand which is especially useful for the wrestlers who do not get as much TV time as their colleagues.

The Baddest Woman in the Planet is currently on a break from WWE, but that has not stopped her from becoming a YouTube success. Ronda Rousey posts a variety of videos, mostly in the style of vlogs. A lot of her posts are based on the ranch, Browsey Acres, which she shares with her husband Travis Browne.

Life for Ronda and Travis seems very different than the more celebrity lifestyle enjoyed by other performers. In their videos, the pair often discuss their sustainable, minimalist lifestyle. There are a few guest appearances from fellow wrestlers on the channel, such as Paige and a few non-wrestlers like Steve-O.

Rousey has also taken part in a few question and answer sessions on her channel, allowing her fans to feel a little bit closer to their favourite superstar.

In the current era of WWE, Asuka has shown herself to be hugely entertaining on TV, and the same can be said for her YouTube Channel. Asuka's channel, KanaChanTV features the former RAW Women's Champion mainly gaming, with her debut being a video of her playing Nintendo's Super Mario Maker.

Asuka's channel also has a few videos of the star getting up to some unusual antics, including one where she eats grasshoppers and another where she spends nine minutes chopping cabbage with a machine.

KanaChanTV might be the most eclectic on this list, but it is certainly not boring.

No list about wrestlers on YouTube would be complete without the channel of Xavier Woods, UpUpDownDown. The channel currently stands at over two million subscribers, and videos are uploaded on pretty much a daily basis.

UpUpDownDown even has it's own championship, and the belt has been won by many superstars including Alexa Bliss, Seth Rollins, and Becky Lynch.
