Top 10 Most-Followed WWE Stars on Instagram
The Rock and John Cena
10- Randy Orton: 7.3 Million Followers
Randy Orton’s status as a 25-year veteran and a multi-time WWE World Champion is underpinned by a loyal fanbase reflected in his 7.3 million followers. The "Viper" remains one of WWE's biggest and most enduring stars, consistently wrestling at a high level despite his long tenure. His signature move, the RKO, has become a viral cultural phenomenon, generating endless memes that continually introduce him to new audiences, helping him retain massive support decades into his career.
9- Triple H: 7.8 Million Followers
Triple H's 7.8 million followers are a testament to his unique longevity and importance to the company. His career is essentially two separate success stories: first as a top-tier, main-event in-ring performer from the 1990s through the 2010s, and second as the head of WWE’s creative team in the 2020s. His crucial, evolving role—both as an on-screen authority figure and a real-life executive—maintains his relevancy, ensuring his social media following remains huge and engaged.
8- Brie Bella: 8.2 Million Followers
Brie Bella, a former WWE Divas Champion, is one half of the iconic Bella Twins, and her 8.2 million followers reflect the massive brand she and her sister built. Like Nikki, her fame grew exponentially due to her role in the reality shows Total Divas and Total Bellas. Her Instagram content often focuses on her family life, which resonates strongly with her audience. This ability to connect with fans on a personal level has helped her retain a substantial following even after her full-time in-ring career concluded.
7- Nikki Bella: 10.4 Million Followers
Nikki Bella edges out her twin sister in followers, thanks in part to her increased activity on social media and her higher profile following her time on reality TV shows Total Divas and Total Bellas. Her previous highly publicized relationship with John Cena also contributed to her notoriety, ensuring she frequently makes headlines. With over 10 million followers, she remains one of the most recognized and followed female stars to emerge from the Divas era.
6- Roman Reigns: 10.8 Million Followers
Roman Reigns currently sits as WWE's number one guy, and his 10.8 million followers reflect his decade-long push as the face of the company. While his early popularity struggled, his character evolved following his successful heel turn into the dominant "Tribal Chief." This reinvention unlocked his full potential, dramatically increasing his following. As he begins to follow in the footsteps of John Cena and The Rock by taking steps into Hollywood, his social media presence is expected to grow even further.
5- The Great Khali: 11.9 Million Followers
Despite often being cited for his in-ring limitations, The Great Khali holds an astonishing following of over 11 million, largely due to his status as a national hero in India. His immense size and widespread recognition in his home country translate directly into a huge social media audience. This fan loyalty, combined with the fact that he remains very active on his Instagram account, has allowed the former World Heavyweight Champion to maintain a following that rivals many modern WWE main eventers.
4- Ronda Rousey: 16.9 Million Followers
Ronda Rousey brought a ready-made, massive fanbase from the world of mixed martial arts when she joined WWE in 2018. As the "Baddest Woman on the Planet," she had already achieved major draw status in the UFC. Her successful, albeit sometimes controversial, run in WWE allowed her to combine her diverse fanbases—MMA and professional wrestling—to accumulate nearly 17 million followers. Her account is a unique bridge connecting two distinct, highly engaged entertainment markets.
3- John Cena: 21.3 Million Followers
As the face of WWE for a decade, John Cena became one of the company's last true larger-than-life superstars, building a huge, devoted audience, particularly among younger fans. His popularity has only surged since transitioning away from active wrestling and finding massive success in Hollywood. Known to everyone, his constant visibility in blockbuster movies and major media projects has significantly expanded his global following, pushing him past 21 million followers. Cena's current fame ensures his social media presence continues to rise exponentially.
2- Logan Paul: 26.8 Million Followers
Logan Paul secured his fame long before he ever stepped inside a WWE ring. Already a polarizing social media megastar, boxer, and popular online personality, his existing 26.8 million following immediately made him one of WWE’s most-followed active stars upon his 2022 debut. Despite his inexperience, Paul proved to be a natural, cementing his place as a top-tier attraction. His engagement with WWE has further expanded his already enormous reach, ensuring he remains a dominant and controversial figure across all media platforms.
1- The Rock: 391 Million Followers
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson stands alone, boasting an astronomical 392 million Instagram followers, outpacing the next wrestler by over 360 million. His legendary status in WWE's Attitude Era was merely the launchpad for a global Hollywood career, making him one of the most famous people on the planet. His fame transcends professional wrestling; he ranks behind only a few global icons like Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. The Rock's massive, unwavering appeal stems from his ability to transition seamlessly between entertainment industries.
