Each week we take a brief glimpse into the lives of all of your favorite WWE and NXT Superstars, through the eye of their personal Instagram posts from the previous week.
You'll be surprised at what you'll learn via social media, regarding your favorite superstars. But as we now inch closer and closer to WrestleMania 34, things are more competitive than ever, as each Superstar has their eye on the prize, which is a trip to New Orleans for a match at WrestleMania!
Here's a look at 10 of the best Instagram posts from the previous week!
#10 The beast among us
NXT Superstar Lars Sullivan is a work-in-progress, but this particular work is progressing at a very impressive rate.
With WrestleMania 34 right around the corner, it's important to note that the men and women of NXT are poised to kick things off during WrestleMania weekend with NXT TakeOver: New Orleans. One of the feature bouts on that card involves this man, Lars Sullivan. Lars will take on Velveteen Dream, Killian Dain, EC3, Adam Cole and Ricochet in a six-man Ladder Match, where the winner will become the first-ever NXT North American Champion!
#9 Johnny has left the building
Thanks to his former lifelong best friend, Tomasso Ciampa, Johnny Gargano lost a match against Andrade 'Cien' Almas. One of the stipulations of that particular contest stated that if Gargano lost, he would have to leave NXT.
Since losing that match, there have been rumors circulating that would have Gargano facing Ciampa at NXT TakeOver: New Orleans, in a non-sanctioned grudge match. While there has been no word confirming this match, it would really make for a tremendous bout.
#8 EPIC fan art
If you follow any WWE Superstars on Instagram, chances are you have probably come across some of the amazing fan art that is out there. This is one of the very best artists I have found who focuses primarily on WWE fan art.
Aleister Black has situated himself at the top of the NXT roster, poised for a title match against Andrade 'Cien' Almas for the NXT Championship, in the main event at NXT TakeOver: New Orleans.
#7 The Queen of Spades
Shayna Bazler has wasted no time at all transitioning from MMA to professional wrestling. She has developed a cult-like following to accompany her unique, yet relentless and unforgiving style.
Bazler will take on Ember Moon at NXT TakeOver: New Orleans, with the NXT Women's Championship on the line.
#6 The perfect K-9
One of the greatest things about following WWE Superstars on social media is the way they give you brief snapshots into their personal lives, away from the ring. Many WWE Superstars, including Tye Dillinger, have their pets featured in many of their Instagram posts.
This post shows Tye Dillinger at home, with his best friend, his mini-Doberman pincher. Dillinger actually shows his pup in quite a few of his Instagram posts.
Dillinger teamed with Breezango to defeat Shelton Benjamin, Chad Gable, and Mojo Rawley in the kickoff match at WWE Fastlane.
#5 When worlds collide
One of the Instagram accounts that I strongly recommend my readers follow, is the official account of the WWE Network.
This past week, one of their posts took us back in time, to 2008. During this time, The Big Show was involved in one of the most compelling feuds of all-time, which featured Show facing off with Floyd Mayweather. When it was all said-and-done, Money Mayweather came away with the shocking victory of 'The Worlds Largest Athlete'.
#4 First in, Last out
Sarah Logan has blasted onto the WWE scene in a powerful way. After barely having a cup of coffee in NXT, Sarah was elevated to the SmackDown Live roster alongside Liv Morgan and Ruby Riott, where she became the muscle of the ladies faction known as the Riott Squad.
In this recent Instagram post made by Logan, she shows us another side that we may not have known about her. A couple of years ago, while she was dominating the indie scene as 'Crazy Mary,' she was also moonlighting on the side, in a profession that is not-so-crazy. Logan worked as a firefighter/first-responder.
#3 Dear, Mama
One of my favorite wrestlers that I have followed over the past several years has been Ray Rowe of War Machine. Long before he signed his WWE contract, I was a huge fan of him and now I am so proud of this guy, especially after all that he has been through in recent years. Rowe is truly an inspiration and the WWE Universe will know this first-hand, very soon!
Rowe recently posted this awesome photo of him and his mother, in honor of National Women's Day. Rowe is notoriously known for being very loyal and respectful to his family, especially his parents.
Rowe is also engaged to current WWE Superstar Sarah Logan. Logan is currently assigned to the SmackDown Live roster.
#2 DON'T BLINK!
Fans in Minneapolis, Minnesota got a real treat this past weekend as WWE held a live, non-televised event at The Target Center. The treat was seeing their hometown hero Brock Lesnar. 'The Beast Incarnate' became very popular among the Minnesota fans during his collegiate career as a wrestler at The University of Minnesota.
During the live event, Lesnar faced off against The Miz, of all people. Unfortunately for The Miz, the moment was short-lived as Lesnar delivered over a dozen suplexes and F-5s to The Miz and The Miztourage. The match lasted less than 40 seconds before being called off by the referee.
#1 He has arrived
One of the biggest signings of the past decade came this past January as independent mega-star Ricochet signed his WWE contract.
For the past 2 years, there have been rumors regarding Ricochet coming to the WWE. Many fans had pretty much given up on the idea of the former PWG Champion ever coming to the WWE until mid-January when Ricochet signed, along with other top-indie stars Candice LeRae, and Ray Rowe and Hanson of former IWGP and ROH Tag Team Champions War Machine.
