3 YouTubers Who Could Be Successful with WWE

It is no secret that WWE's TV ratings are declining and this is a major issue. WWE's Chairman Vince McMahon addressed this problem in a recent quarterly earnings conference call where he said that WWE is trying to improve the ratings.

So what can WWE do to increase the ratings? Well, one tried and tested method of introducing new fans to the product has been to bring a popular figure from a different industry into the mix.

UFC stars like Cain Velasquez and Ronda Rousey have transitioned from MMA to WWE. Professional boxers like Floyd Mayweather and Mike Tyson made appearances for WWE, as well. All of these instances had a positive impact on TV ratings.

So it's possible that WWE could work with a big name from a different industry. With that in mind, the social media business can boost the ratings and bring new fans to WWE.

Social media influencers have millions of fans and they engage with every event the individual is a part of. So it's possible that WWE could recognize this shortly and some social media influencers try their hand at professional wrestling.

In this article, we will list three YouTubers who could be successful with WWE.

#3 KSI (22.1 Million Subscribers)

KSI defeated Logan Paul in a professional boxing match!

KSI is a UK based YouTuber with over 22 million subscribers. He has one of the most active fan bases and his average video amasses 4 million views.

Given the numbers, it is pretty clear that he is one of the more popular influencers and he could help WWE improving their ratings.

Besides his popularity, he is pretty athletic, as well. He has been a part of two amateur and one professional boxing match. He had his professional boxing debut against Logan Paul in a sold-out Staples Center and he won by a split decision.

With the right training, KSI can make a mark in the professional wrestling world too. He is a likable guy who can work well as a babyface. He could go against wrestlers like Seth Rollins and AJ Styles who both can make their opponents look good. With the right opponent and good writing KSI can be a part of an exciting rivalry.

#2 WWE should approach Jake Paul (20.2 Million Subscribers)

WWE should approach controversial YouTuber Jake Paul!

Jake Paul is one of the most popular and controversial YouTubers. He has been in the middle of several contentious situations, which granted him the nickname The Problem Child.

Despite the controversies, he maintains an active fanbase and has been a part of many successful events.

Jake has an athletic background. He wrestled intensively in high school and he has recently been involved in boxing, as well. He has taken part in one amateur and one pro fight. Both fights took place in a sold-out arena and he won both of the fights quite easily.

He has one more fight lined up against Nate Robinson on the Roy Jones Jr. vs. Mike Tyson undercard. So, it is pretty clear that he works hard. With the right training, he can become a pro wrestler. Furthermore, it will be easier for him to transition into wrestling for WWE because of his amateur wrestling background.

Jake Paul isn't well-liked so he would make a perfect heel. He can go up against Superstars like Daniel Bryan and Dolph Ziggler, who can make anyone look good.

#1 WWE would be a good fit for Logan Paul (22.6 Million Subscribers)

An athletic influencer like Logan Paul would be great for WWE!

Logan Paul is currently one of the biggest social media influencers. His average video nets 5 million views. He is one of the most likable figures on the internet and he has been a part of various successful events.

He has competed in one amateur and one professional boxing match. Both of his fights were against KSI. The amateur fight ended in a draw and KSI won the professional one.

Just like his brother, Jake, Logan also has an athletic background because he wrestled in high school and went on to compete at the state level. He even wrestled UFC legend, Paulo Costa, in one of his videos and it looked like he was holding his own.

With his experience in wrestling and boxing, it will be easier for Logan to transition into pro wrestling. Because he's so likable, it will be a good idea for him to portray a babyface.

Bobby Lashley recently called him out, so it would make sense for him to take on the CEO of The Hurt Business. With the right paycheck and training, any one of these influencers can help WWE boost their ratings.
