WWE Hall of Famers The Bella Twins Fall Short of Tennis Legend Serena Williams in Exclusive List

Athletes from various sports enjoy a separate fan base. This mostly depends on the choice of individuals and their love for a particular player. A trait that has been synonymous with a sports personality may inspire them. And they forge a connection with the athlete as a result. Women athletes, in particular, are gaining ground on their male counterparts. And Tennis legend Serena Williams has left many other female wrestlers behind in a particular list.

The advent of social media means that establishing a connection and getting closer to your loved ones is a seamless task. This has brought celebrities even close to their loyalists. The huge numbers boasted by the social media pages of such athletes serve testament to the fact. Sun Sports has recently come up with a ranking to determine the most followed female sports persons on Instagram. It features the top 10 female athletes across multiple sports.

Serena Williams outperforms wrestlers in the ranking

The aforementioned Tennis star Serena Williams has featured quite high on the list. Female wrestlers mostly dominate the ranking due to their immense popularity. It features as many as five from the world of sports entertainment. Natalya, who currently plies her trade in WWE, ranks 10th on the list with 4.7 million followers. Eva Marie, who boasts 5.9 million followers is next in the rankings.

Current AEW and former WWE star Saraya aka Paige is next on the list with 6 million followers. One-half of the Hall of Famer sister duo of Bella twins, Brie Bella, features at number 6 in the list.

Her sister Nikki Bella is 4th in the rankings with an astounding 10.6 million followers. She recently announced an end to a hugely popular show Total Bellas featuring the twins. The 23-grand slam winner Serena Williams has outperformed most, with a mammoth 16.1 million following her.

A familiar name leads the list

UFC fighter-turned-wrestler Ronda Rousey has topped the list with 16.4 million followers to her name. The Baddest Women on The Planet currently performs at WWE SmackDown. However, she has enjoyed a considerable spell in the UFC, which means it’s difficult to bifurcate her fandom.

But without even being a regular feature on the main roster, the Bella sisters are among the most popular female athletes. With Nikki Bella’s superstardom breaching even the 10 million mark.

The sheer dominance of wrestling in the ranking points to the popularity of its performers. Natalya and Paige are the only ones who are still practicing their craft. The list is quite comfortably led by Ronda Rousey and Tennis legend Serena Williams. But a huge representation bodes well for sports entertainment in general.
