Social media plays a huge role in people's lives nowadays. Almost everybody uses it and WWE are very wise to that fact. The number of people watching pro wrestling on TV may be dropping, but the number of fans interacting with WWE on social media continues to increase.
Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook — WWE have a huge presence on all of those platforms. One other place that is definitely worth checking out your favourite Superstars is Snapchat, but it may not be quite as easy as some other forms of social media when it comes to finding who you want to follow.
A litany of Superstars use Snapchat, but not all of them are worth following. Trouble is there's no way of knowing that until after you hit the follow button. Never fear though as here are the top five Superstars that you should definitely be following on Snapchat.
#5 Xavier Woods (UsedFood)
Xavier Woods is very much the most underrated member of the New Day in a lot of ways. When he's allowed to perform in the ring, you're reminded of how talented the former NXT Superstar really is.
The main reason we don't get to see him perform in the ring quite as much as Kofi and Big E is likely because of his entertainment value. That asset is just as important, if not more so, to WWE as in-ring ability.
If you love the 31-year-old's antics at ringside, then following him on Snapchat is a must. Between his interactions backstage and his work on gaming YouTube channel UpUpDownDown, there is a lot of fun to be had involving Woods even after the WWE cameras are off.
#4 Mandy Rose (sacs90)
Mandy Rose may not be a name that a lot of fans are familiar with. So far, most of her TV time with WWE has come in the form of appearances on Total Divas, as well as a few matches on NXT as she hones her craft.
Rose is very much playing the Eva Marie role in WWE right now and was even portrayed as All Red Everything's protege for a while on Total Divas. However with Eva now gone from the company that leaves a big spot open for Rose.
There's one very obvious reason why WWE want to keep Rose around: she is incredibly marketable. However, WWE's women also need to be able to compete in the ring also nowadays, and to her credit, she is working hard in NXT right now.
#3 Mojo Rawley (mojoparties69)
Mojo Rawley may be the most hyper and energetic Superstar currently residing on WWE's roster. You'd imagine that after going crazy for ten minutes or so in front of the crowd, he would likely need to sleep for the rest of the day. Well, think again.
It would appear that Rawley is just as exuberant behind the scenes as he is while in the spotlight. Give him a follow on Snapchat and you'll soon realise that things like him getting chopped by close friend and NFL star Rob Gronkowski (see above) are just the tip of the iceberg.
Also as an added bonus, it would seem that Rawley and Xavier Woods are close friends and often their Snapchat antics tend to include each other and overlap.
#2 Lana (thelanawwe)
Lana is not referred to as the Ravishing Russian for nothing. The extremely attractive WWE Superstar and valet is often found cutting heel promos on SmackDown Live, but you may also want to keep an eye on her Snapchat.
Mrs Rusev is clearly a big fan of showing her body off to fans as well and will literally take any opportunity to do so. She and her husband paid a visit to Rusev's native of Bulgaria and Lana inexplicably posted videos of herself milking cows and doing farm work in nothing but a bikini and cowboy boots.
While WWE are already big fans of Lana, the company tried to make something of her in the ring recently. However, it didn't really work out, and the Latvian has returned to managing Superstars, currently accompanying Tamina to her matches.
#1 Nikki Bella (thenikkibella2)
There is one WWE Superstar that is present on social media and outside of the WWE bubble more than any other, and that Superstar is Nikki Bella. The soon-to-be Mrs Cena is constantly exploring other ventures that don't necessarily relate to her in-ring career.
Along with the fame Nikki has earned wrestling with WWE, she has also greatly increased her fame footprint off her own back with the help of social media. There is no other Superstar on this list that is more present than her across all platforms, and her Snapchat is definitely worth checking out.
Nikki and her sister Brie have made no bones about wanting to branch out from just WWE alone. They've ventured into the world of underwear and have even considered setting up their own wine label. However, both ladies have revealed that they plan to return to the ring as a tandem in 2018.
