It's common for people to have phobias. Although WWE Superstars have muscular colossal sizes and intimidating looks, they are still not immune to phobias. While wrestlers are tough, taking chair shots, big bumps, and the deadliest moves, they are distinctly different in real life.

The likes of Randy Orton, The Undertaker, The Rock, etc have entertained us for years, often daunting us with their work as heels. However, even these iconic big men have hidden fears that might sound unusual from the norm.

Have a look at these popular WWE Superstars and their biggest phobias. 

5) Nikki Bella: Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO)

Nikki Bella featured in the show Total Divas for eight seasons, showing her genuine nature behind the curtain of WWE. While The Bella Twins, Nikki Bella, and Brie Bella, are both extroverted, the former is much more sociable. 


The former Divas Champion wouldn't miss the opportunity to attend parties and socialize with different new people. She has developed this gregarious persona due to her phobia called FOMO, which is the fear of missing out. It's another reason she was one of the amiable personalities backstage at WWE, and she made many friends there.  

4) Hulk Hogan ( Imposter Syndrome)

Hulk Hogan is recognized as the greatest of all time by a myriad of people, popularizing professional wrestling in the 1980s. He was impeccable with the microphone, bringing his high energy to each promo. However, The Hulkster was never highly skilled in the ring, which probably contributed to his phobia called imposter syndrome.

The imposter syndrome is when an individual doubts skills and talent, believing someone will figure it out sooner or later. Given Hulk performed in front of a large audience in each arena, he suffered from it, but he always managed to push his limits. The 70-year-old's aura and talking skills overshadowed the lackluster in-ring skills.
