It's that time once again where we take a look back at the previous week's Instagram activity from your favourite WWE Superstars. Instagram offers fans a unique look into the day-to-day lives of many of the WWE Superstars from today and yesterday.
This week was interesting as always, with Finn Balor getting a lot of Iove after celebrating his 36th birthday on July 25th. Former WWE Superstar "Big Poppa Pump" Scott Steiner also celebrated a birthday this past week as well.
Let's go ahead and dive into the week's best Instagram posts from all of your favourite WWE Superstars!
#15 Heavy Hitters
You don't have to take my word for it, just let time do the talking...
Heavy Machinery is a great tag team in the making, with a not-so-great name. Surely the folks in WWE's creative squad could've taken a few more minutes to come up with a more original, less Hokie name than 'Heavy Machinery'; nonetheless, it's the cards they were dealt; they will be just fine.
This Instagram post was on NXT's official account and the photo was taken during a recent NXT live event in Green Bay, Wisconsin, thus the reasoning behind big Otis wearing the Reggie White throwback jersey.
#14 Banking on another title run
Times are at a very pivotal point in the WWE Women's division right now. We are in the midst of what feels like a complete shakeup.
All of the ladies in the division are turning their game up to a whole new level, realising that this is a business, not a social gathering and it is not a place where you necessarily need to make friends. There is a season of change in the air for the ladies of WWE.
This particular Instagram post was made by Sasha herself and it was made to signify the one year anniversary since she last held the RAW Women's title and as you can tell by her caption, she wants it back!
#13 Birthday fit for a Prince
This was one of my favourite Instagram posts of the week. WWE Smackdown Live Superstar Shinsuke Nakamura dug out this old classic from his vault of nostalgic goodies, which features Nakamura, Karl Anderson and Finn Balor, who was known at the time by New Japan Pro Wrestling fans as Prince Devitt.
There were plenty of birthday wishes sent out to Finn Balor over the past week, but this one was by far, my favourite.
#12 The Hype Boss
Another WWE Superstar who recently celebrated a birthday this past week was Triple H, who turned 48 on July 27th. 'Trips' also had several happy birthday wishes sent out to him via social media this week as well.
This one stuck out for me, maybe because of how cringy Mojo Rawley appears in this photo. If one didn't know better, they would swear Mojo Rawley was just an overzealous fan, ecstatic to take a photo with Triple H.
Mojo may not be the most popular WWE Superstar, but he is certainly one of those guys who you know loves this business and will always give everything he has, in an effort to entertain the WWE Universe. You have to have respect for that at least.
#11 So fresh, so Sheamus
After living in the Tampa Bay area for several years, I got very familiar with who "Big Jay" was. Big Jay The Barber is notoriously known for having some very high profile clients who come into his shop on a regular basis.
With Tampa being home to many of the current and former WWE Superstars, Big Jay has been taking care of many of them for quite some time now. Not only is he the go-to barber for WWE Superstars like Sheamus and Big E, he also has several clients who play for the NFL's Tampa Bay Buccaneers football team.
As you can see, Sheamus recently reposted this photo which shows Big Jay lining up the famous red beard and mohawk.
#10 Take a number
Rusev is known for taking some fantastic photos for his Instagram followers and this one was no exception.
This photo appears to be Rusev and Luke Harper possibly sitting in the trainer's room, perhaps getting wrapped or maybe getting a nagging injury checked out, or something along those lines.
Either way, it appears that Harper and Rusev are probably pretty cool outside of the ring, as evident by a number of social media posts that Rusev and Harper have made over the course of their time on the main roster.
#9 Slow MOON rising
This NXT photographer captured an amazing shot here, which shows NXT star Ember Moon making her entrance at a recent NXT Live event in Milwaukee.
Ember recently recovered from an unfortunate injury but appears to be doing just fine these days, as she continues her quest to become the next NXT Women's Champion.
This may seem like an impossible quest, considering who the current title holder is, but if you know anything about Ember Moon and where she came from, you'll understand why this isn't such a longshot after all.
#8 An American prodigy
Jason Jordan shocked the WWE Universe when he was revealed as Kurt Angle's illegitimate son. While this may seem like a silly storyline to some, once you consider the similarities between the two, it could really result in something very interesting.
This photo was taken during a recent WWE Live event in Buffalo and it shows Jason Jordan's new Tron images for his entrance.
I was a big fan of American Alpha, as were many fans. I just hope Chad Gable doesn't get lost in all the chaotic shuffle because she's such a great talent.
#7 Tota Divas lounging
Yes, it's almost that time again for the new season of Total Divas. Personally, I don't see the appeal in the show, it's just not for me.
This photo was posted by Nikki Bella and it shows the ladies of the show lounging while in Cabo. I guess we will all have to anxiously await the drama that is sure to take place on Total Divas season 7!
#6 True to Kayfabe
Once upon a time, masked wrestlers, or wrestlers who wore face paint, would never be seen in public with their faces uncovered. For them, it was all about protecting the fabric of the sport and staying true to kayfabe.
In recent years, the wrestlers have gotten more comfortable showing their faces in public, but there is one in particular who truly tries to keep his identity concealed.
Kalisto is known for never taking photos with fans unless he has his face covered by one of his many masks, and doesn't oblige even The Boss in this picture.
#5 Unbroken family time
Matt Hardy may be one of the most difficult WWE Superstars to understand, especially when he goes back into his "Broken" persona.
However, one thing that is very clear and not hard to understand at all, is Matt's love for his adorable family.
In this cute photo, Matt is enjoying some pool-time with his oldest child, Maxel. Matt is married to Reby Sky and the couple has two kids, Maxel and Wolfgang Xander Hardy.
#4 Gloriously live!
I think it's probably safe to assume that Bobby Roode is happy about where his career is right now. At the time of his TNA departure, Roode's career was all but stale and stagnant.
But, once he made his debut with NXT, his career immediately received that fresh breath of life that it so desperately needed. Now, he's on top of the NXT mountain and looks to be having the time of his life.
This photo shows Bobby making his entrance at a recent NXT Live event in Green Bay. The shadow on the screen fits perfectly with his Glorious gimmick!
#3 Stay in your lane!
WWE Superstar Cesaro has been grossly underrated most of his time with the company. That is a sentiment shared by many WWE fans and Superstars alike, yet for whatever reason, WWE has never wanted to pull the trigger and give him a legit main-event singles run.
But, with that said, Cesaro has found a good deal of success in the tag team world, as he and his partner, Sheamus, are currently the top dogs in the world of tag team wrestling.
Cesaro has also been known for posting some pretty funny photos on his social media accounts and this one is no exception.
#2 Shake, rattle and Balor....
Finn Balor has taken the WWE by storm, much like most of us expected once he signed with the company. In recent weeks, Finn has been harassed by the Drifter, Elias.
Not to mention he's also had to deal with the Eater of Worlds as well. While it appears Balor may have taken care of Elias, he now has to turn all of his attention to Bray Wyatt in what will likely be an incredible feud.
In this Instagram post, Balor looks absolutely ripped to shreds, with his guitar in tow. Finn also included all of his upcoming WWE Live appearance in the post as well.
#1 Luke... you ARE the father!
You may be surprised to learn that Luke Harper is one of the most polite and respectful WWE Superstars that you could ever hope to run into outside of the ring. Luke is always laughing and trying to keep things light in every situation.
The photo shown here is a recent post where Luke Harper took time for a photo-op with one of his biggest fans, Bill the sea lion.
What makes Sting special? His first AEW opponent opens up RIGHT HERE.
