A social media influencer is a mainstream influential person with a major following on social media. Logan Paul is a great example of a social media influencer that transitioned into incredible success in World Wrestling Entertainment. Paul has over 23 million YouTube subscribers which makes him one of the most successful social media influencers in the world. His unimaginable success in WWE, has to have the sports entertainment world considering who the next great crossover star could be. What social media influencer could have a WrestleMania match such as Logan Paul versus Seth Rollins?

Social media influencers also have their own brand army they reach, therefore if they have a million followers, not all of those fans follow WWE. Yet with the crossover appeal, their fans will be introduced to the WWE, maybe for the first time. We have seen WWE reach for celebrities in the past with movie stars, athletes and reality tv stars gracing WWE television. Yet, in 2023, the social media influencer is a celebrity status WWE needs to continue to dabble in.
10 Breckie Hill
Breckie Hill is a 20-year-old content creator that has over 2 million TikTok followers. The young blonde bombshell has risen to fame with her viral TikTok videos and risqué Instagram photos. Hill has developed a social media beef with collegiate gymnast and social media darling, Olivia Dunne, over having similar physical attributes. Hill's ability to play the heel in the social media beef would play well with her WWE career. Hill clearly has no problem being controversial and her high school cheerleading career should add athleticism to the mix. Breckie Hill could be a breakout WWE star in no time.
9 Noah Beck
Noah Beck is a former college soccer player turned social media influencers. Beck has over 30 million TikTok followers. TikTok named Beck one of the ten breakout content creators of 2020. His social media fame led to a spot in a Machine Gun Kelley music video in 2021. The 21-year-old most definitely displays a boy next door charm that has captivated the Gen-Z demographic. As his TikTok displays, Beck has no issue with being shirtless and his appeal (and abs) are made for WWE television. Noah Beck could be a WWE heartthrob. The Noah Beck versus Austin Theory WWE feud makes sense.
8 Mykie
Mykie is a social media influencer who has nearly 4 million YouTube followers. Mykie is a makeup artist of great talent. Her ability to create make up tutorials and talk about ghost hunts have made her one of the most viral beauty vloggers in the world. Mykie not only has a unique look for WWE, but her gift for gab would make her fit in perfectly in the sports entertainment world. In 2020, Mykie would leave her Glam and Gore YouTube account due to mental and physical pains but returned in late 2022, calling her fans "Zombaes". WWE fans have always loved face painted superstars such as Ultimate Warrior, Jeff Hardy and Asuka. Mykie would fit into that genre nicely, or at least glam up the next face painted superstar.
7 Simeon Panda
Simeon Panda looks like a professional wrestler. The 6'1, 225 pound shredded social media fitness professional passes every WWE airport test. Panda turns heads not only in the gym but also as a motivational and inspiring individual known for his character and amazing physique. Panda has been featured in magazines and fitness publications around the world. Panda has already appeared at MuscleMania (one of the leading natural body competitions) and would leap off the screen with a WrestleMania match. His social media following reaches 17 million fans, and those fans would love to support Simeon Panda in WWE.
6 Paige Spiranac
The head turning Paige Spiranic is a social media influencer and professional golf instructor. The former college and professional golfer also dabbled in gymnastics as a youth and would have the athleticism to compete in WWE. We have seen NXT newcomers, Tiffany Stratton and Sol Ruca showoff an athletic gymnastic background that has seemed to capture fans.

Spiranic has also been featured in magazines such as Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition and Maxim Hot 100. Spiranic's 3.7 million Instagram followers would appeal to WWE. Spiranic has received some criticism for sexualizing women's golf, yet that appeal would be accepted in WWE. The 5'7 bombshell could be a major addition to the WWE Women's Division.
5 Julien Solomita
Julien Solomita has over 1 million followers on his Instagram. Solomita rose to social media fame by being on then girlfriend (now wife) Jenna Marbles' Youtube channel that has 20 million subscribers. While Marbles has retired from YouTube, the couple have a strong following. Solomita had aspirations of being a professional baseball player as a youth. His social media is full of him playing baseball and basketball. In recent years, Solomita has dabbled in Brazialian jiu-jitsu. With his athleticism, good looks and humor, Solomita would be a great addition to the WWE. Solomita most definitely gives off a Corey Graves vibe online.
4 Katerina Carney
Katerina Carney is a Russian TikTok influencers with over 2 million followers. Carney has grown her following by being entertaining as well as very comfortable in her own skin. Carney's social media moniker is "your favorite blonde". At 5'6 and 119 pounds the Russian-born, Boston-raised Carney is a perfect blend of entertainment and risqué sex appeal known to do well in WWE. Carney would thrive in a role similar to former WWE superstar Mandy Rose. Carney's appeal to the Gen-Z generation would be very valuable for WWE. Plus, Lana (C.J. Perry) was very successful with her "Russian" WWE gimmick
3 Papa Swolio
Papa Swolio in an American fitness influencer. His TikTok has over 6 million followers. Swolio is known for his brutally honest and yet hysterically funny videos. Swolio loves to remind his followers to go to the gym. Swolio is also a host of his own Daily Swole podcast and creator of Swolenormus X(fitness program). Swolio has a great look for professional wrestling. His long hair, rippling muscles and thick beard is reminiscent of some type of Thor character. Swolio is an inspirational influencer that wants his fans to do their very best and that would be marketable in WWE.
2 Tana Mongeau
Tana Mongeau was seemingly tailor-made for a career in WWE. The former girlfriend of Jake Paul (brother of aforementioned WWE star Logan Paul) is a heat magnet on social media. Mongeau also dabbles in the entertainment business as a singer. Her first single, Hefner, would feature her (now) former girlfriend, infamous actress, Bella Thorne. Mongeau's YouTube channel has nearly 6 million subscribers. Mongeau would seemingly fit perfect into the WWE world that includes Logan Paul. The 24-year-old influencer would bring eyeballs onto the WWE product from her brand.
1 PewDiePie
PewDiePie may be the goat of all social media influencers. The former most subscribed YouTuber on the planet still has 111 million subscriptions. While PewDiePie doesn't seem like a fit for in ring WWE competition, he could still be a major WWE asset. PewDiePie's fame rose from his commentary on video games, especially those of horror genre. If WWE could get PewDiePie as a guest commentator, the internet would blow its lid.

PewDiePie fancies himself a comedian as well, and would reach a worldwide audience (that differs from YouTube) with WWE. PewDiePie's love for video games could easily translate to WWE in ring action and storytelling.
