The WWE is looking for its next ring announcer on TikTok as part of a sponsored competition by Nestle Pure Life water.
The forthcoming challenge will ask users to upload videos showcasing their announcer skills using the hashtag #WWEAnnouncerContest. WWE will review the applications and announce the winners on its official TikTok channel — which is home to 12 million followers — on Aug. 16. Two winners will then be flown to the SummerSlam event in Las Vegas on Aug. 21, where each will announce a fight.
This isn’t the first time that the WWE has sought talent on TikTok. The company is also a part of the TikTok Resumes pilot program, in which various companies are listing positions on a standalone TikTok job hub, which enables applicants to submit videos resumes.
