WWE RAW Superstar Xavier Woods is possibly the most popular gamer-wrestler in the world right now. His YouTube gaming channel UpUpDownDown has been a runaway success since its inception in 2015 and consistently pulls in WWE fans as well as gaming fans in general. The platform grew so big that it even received WWE's stamp of approval, with the company regularly promoting it on its programming.

Woods invites countless WWE Superstars and other celebrities to his channel but ensures gaming is the prime focus during the live streams and videos. The former Tag Team Champion's stature as a gamer has grown so big that he was recently announced as the host of the rebooted G4. He shared his excitement about the same in an interview last year.

"I was losing my mind… It was incredible. 'I'm just a random dude from Georgia who loves video games and loves wrestling. So getting my WWE contract while sitting in the middle of a Walgreens in Orlando, Florida at the time doing like backflips, calling my parents... I had the exact same reaction when I found out I was going to be a host on G4."

While his main career remains wrestling, it wouldn't come as a surprise if Woods decides to take a full-time jump into the world of video gaming, as The Rock and John Cena did with their respective acting careers.
