5 WWE Superstars you didn't know have their own YouTube channels

The WWE is a huge brand of entertainment, amassing millions of fans tuning in every single week for their programming. But as technology has developed, so have the viewers, who now have more options than ever instead of the humble Television.

Some WWE Superstars have capitalized on this change, launching their own channels on Youtube to get closer to the fans. And though some channels, like UpUpDownDown, are well known, others are more obscure.

Here are five WWE Superstars you (probably) didn't know, have their own YouTube channels.

#5 Asuka

Not only an Empress and a Champion, Asuka recently became a YouTuber playing video games.

The most recent Superstar to set up their own channel on YouTube, SmackDown Live Superstar Asuka recently launched her own channel, which shows a new side to the Empress of Tomorrow. In the ring, Asuka has been nothing short of a dominant force since joining the WWE, having a record-setting reign as NXT Women's Champion, an impressive undefeated streak, a reign as SmackDown Women's Champion and the accolade of being the very first Women's Royal Rumble winner.

Outside the ring though, Asuka is an avid gamer and set up her own channel earlier this month, called KanaChan TV. The name is a reference to Asuka's pre-WWE name Kana, and so far, the channel has just two videos of the former Women's Champion, one where she plays Super Mario Maker 2 on the Nintendo Switch, and another where she builds a gaming chair.

This isn't the first time Asuka has dabbled in gaming culture, as before joining WWE, the Japanese star wrote for Xbox Magazine Japan, and also did graphic design for the Nintendo DS. On Twitter, Asuka has shown off her ever-expanding video game collection, as it seems she'll have plenty of choices for future videos.

#4 Sheamus

Sheamus has even worked out with old foe John Cena.

As a member of the WWE roster, there are few things Sheamus hasn't done. Debuting on the main roster a decade ago, Sheamus has held the WWE, World Heavyweight, United States, RAW, and SmackDown Tag Team Titles, and is just one of three men to win the Royal Rumble, King of the Ring and Money in the Bank.

Though his future in-ring career remains in question, one thing that fans have never questioned is the Irishman's incredible physique, which viewers can see him hone on his very own YouTube channel. Called Celtic Warrior Workouts, Sheamus gives a glimpse into his life as a WWE Superstar but often doesn't do this alone.

One of the best things about the channel is that Sheamus often works out with a fellow WWE Superstar, and has been exercising with Becky Lynch, Daniel Bryan, Cesaro and even his old foe John Cena. It's clear that Sheamus takes excellent care of his body, as he realizes it's the most important thing in his work as a WWE Superstar, and though it may be a while before fans see him in the ring again, we can expect him to be in great shape.

#3 R-Truth

The 24/7 Champion has given fans a glimpse into his personal life.

R-Truth has been a busy man in WWE in 2019, to say the least. Earlier this year, Truth had a brief reign as United States Champion (a title he last held in 2010), which was ended by Samoa Joe. Most recently, Truth has been a part of the 24/7 Championship chase, holding the title a record 14 times since it's debut on the May 20, 2019 edition of Monday Night RAW.

Despite being kept busy with the title that must be defended at all times, Truth has his own YouTube channel, where he allows fans to get a behind the scenes look at his personal life. In the nine years since the channel, Ron Killings TV was launched, Truth has been able to garner over 26,000 subscribers, as well as nearly 1.5 million views.

Ever since the 24/7 title was launched, many of Truth's videos have involved the gold, documenting Truth's attempts to either capture or hold on to the title. Many videos also help showcase Truth's music career as a rapper, proving there is more to him than what fans see in the ring.

#2 Sonya Deville

Deville and Rose often chow down on donuts as part of the MMA star's YouTube channel.

At Clash of Champions, Sonya Deville will have the opportunity of a lifetime, when she teams up with Mandy Rose to challenge Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross for the WWE Women's Tag Team titles. Since her debut on the 2015 season of Tough Enough under her real name Daria Berenato, Deville has become a huge star, both in and out of the ring.

On YouTube, the former MMA star has her own channel under her real name, which has amassed over 17,000 subscribers. Though there's plenty of topics Deville is knowledgeable about, including WWE, MMA, and LGBTQ+ issues, it's the common donut that is the focus of her channel.

Teaming with her tag partner Mandy Rose, the pair host their own show 'DAMANDYZ DONUTZ,' where they savor the delicious dessert all across the world, with various guest stars. The show, which recently uploaded its 45th episode, has seen stars like Lana, The IIconics and Xavier Woods appear. Though calorific, Deville's work in the ring allows her to burn off all those delicious treats each time she steps in front of the WWE Universe.

#1 The Rock

The Brahma Bull has often used his channel to promote his movies such as Baywatch.

When The Rock stepped away from being a full-time wrestler in 2001, the star-power of the Brahma Bull exploded onto the big screen. Making his cinematic debut in 'The Mummy Returns' later that year, the Most Electrifying Man in Sports Entertainment is now one of the highest-earning actors in Hollywood, becoming a major part of the Fast and Furious franchise as Luke Hobbs, as well as the recent Jumanji remakes.

What many fans won't know though, is that the Great One has now transitioned to smaller screens, and has his own impressive YouTube channel. Appropriately called 'The Rock', the channel currently boasts over 4.5 million subscribers and nearly a quarter of a billion views. On the channel, The Rock has tons of videos over various topics.

Many videos on the channel cover The Rock's adventures on various Hollwyood sets, recently giving fans a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Hobbs and Shaw. With other videos seeing The Rock discussing his wrestling career, as well as some seeing the People's Champion in the Kitchen, there's something for everything on the People's Channel.
