WWE’s main Facebook account ranks second in sports brands — behind only the FIFA World Cup. Twenty-nine WWE Superstar pages rank in the Top 100 most-followed athletes on Facebook, John Cena is the sixth most-followed athlete in the world, and four female Superstars rank in the Top 10 most-followed female athletes — Ronda Rousey, Nikki Bella, Brie Bella and Stephanie McMahon.

WWE is the fourth most-followed sports league on Instagram. Ronda Rousey is the most-followed female athlete on the platform, and five other female Superstars join Rousey in the Top 10 most-followed female athletes — Nikki Bella, Brie Bella, Paige, Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch.

YouTube: 46 million followers, including 20 million new followers year-over-year

WWE’s YouTube channel is the most-subscribed sports channel and has amassed more than 30 billion views on the platform, with highlights from WWE shows, exclusive interviews and original series.

In 2018, WWE’s social media accounts were honored at several award shows, including the Cablefax Digital & Tech Awards, the Cynopsis Model D Awards, W3 Awards and Webby Awards.
