Shiloh Hill viral content and WWE scrutiny

Overview

NXT wrestler Shiloh Hill has faced scrutiny following a viral TikTok series titled ‘Shoeman’. The project, which reached approximately 500 million views, involved Hill testing apparent bloodstains on shoes allegedly purchased from the dark web. The content prompted hundreds of daily calls to the Orlando Police Department from concerned viewers, leading authorities to contact WWE to determine if the series was a professional wrestling storyline. Hill reported that the viral attention resulted in him being doxxed and forced to move houses.

Following the series, Hill conducted a further experiment using the Tor network to test if his own merchandise could be sold via the dark web, claiming two successful sales. This action led NXT General Manager Robert Stone to mandate a disciplinary meeting with Hill.
