WWE Superstars are known for their athletic prowess and dramatic flair in the ring, but fans may not know that many of them have picked up other impressive skills as well. Over the years, WWE has featured a number of them sharing their unique skills outside wrestling and you may be surprised by a few of them. While some have picked up skills just as hobbies, while others have achieved serious proficiency in them.Without further adieu, here are some of the greatest WWE stars of today and their secret talents,
Rhea Ripley

Besides being an absolute beast in the ring, Ripley has honed yet another skill. It has been reported that she is a talented Pogo Jumper. Although Pogo sticks aren’t essentially viewed as a serious sport, Ripley has mastered it to a level where she can seamlessly get on it and manoeuvre it without her hands. This week marks an epic showdown for Ripley as she gets ready to battle Liv Morgan and claim back the Women’s World Championship title.
Asuka

Fans are already aware of the Damage CTRL star’s proficiency at gaming. Before she became a force to be reckoned with in the WWE ring, the Japanese star was an avid gamer and also had many gigs as a freelance graphic designer. Thanks to her channel on YouTube called KanaChanTV, fans have gotten to watch her gaming content online. ALthough she now posts scarcely about gaming, she does post vlogs and other entertaining content as much as she can.

The Miz

The 25th Triple Crown Champion of WWE. The Miz too has a trick up his sleeve. In a WWE video, Mike Mizanin aka The Miz hilariously revealed his hidden talent that is sewing. The Raw star went on to showcase the skill on camera and proved to the fans that he’s got some pretty skilled hands when it comes to sewing stuff. Mizanin is all set to serve as the host of the upcoming 2024 SummerSlam this week on August 3, 2024.
Dolph Ziggler

Similar to The Miz, Ziggler too appeared in a WWE video to unveil his secret talents. Currently signed to TNA as Nic Nemeth, Ziggler had previously revealed his ASL skills on camera. He is quite proficient in sign language and even displayed this skill on camera signing some phrases. Nic Nemeth recently claimed the title of TNA World Champions in this year’s Slammiversary. He will be facing Mustafa Ali in his first match after the title win.
Shinsuke Nakamura

Another WWE star with an impressive skill set outside the ring is the Japanese star Shinsuke Nakamura. The talent, however, is not hidden anymore all thanks to WWE posting several videos online of Nakamura surfing some big waves. Nakamura has himself commented on this hobby of his as a great source of additional training. Surfing is a pretty daunting sport and requires athletic prowess to stay on your feet when the wave hits, making this accomplishment immensely commendable.
Becky Lynch

It is a little known fact that The Man is a wonder in the kitchen. In a WWE video, Lynch revealed her secret talent as a cook and stated that she is damn good at it as well. Her husband Seth Rollins has backed up this claim on several occasions. The Irish wrestling star has recently taken to social media to announce that the paperback version of her NYT bestselling book “Becky Lynch: The Man: Not Your Average Average Girl” will be arriving this March.
