The WWE or World Wrestling Entertainment has a very big fanbase and known wrestlers earn so much money in their bank account through fights in the ring. But wrestling is not an easy job because wrestlers have a very strict fitness routine and diet plan. Some stay in the scene for decades while others like Dwayne Johnson and John Cena have ventured into Hollywood as actors. We have seen a lot of different personalities enter the ring through the years, so let's see what some of your favorite names in the WWE have been up to today.

Triple H - Business, Philanthropy, & WWE Appearances

Paul Michael Levesque is one of the most established and successful names in the WWE, but most of you know him by the name, Triple H. He started his WWE career way back in 1996 and has been a name to beat ever since. He takes credit for numerous championship belts under his name. These days, he has found greater success working as the Executive Vice President of the Talent, Live Events, and Creative Direction department of the WWE. At 48 years old, he still has a very fit physique and we're sure he's managed to maintain a proper diet and workout routine even today.

Hulk Hogan - Restaurant Owner

Hulk Hogan can probably be the face of wrestling because of his notable involvement in the history of the WWE. He has been wrestling since the 1980s and officially became retired in 2015. Outside the ring, he has managed to continue to earn a fortune because of his appearances in movies and reality shows. He also entered the world of business by setting up his own restaurant. Hulk is already 64 years old these days but it's nice to see how he maintains his muscular physique. You can tell he's a man who values his fitness and an exception to the trend of a lot of stars who tend to gain a ton of weight once they retire.

Shawn Michaels - Commentator

Michael Shawn Hickenbottom or more popularly known as Shawn Michaels started his fame in the WWE through being part of the duo, The Rockers.  He was very good in entertaining the WWE crowd so he later found success as a solo wrestler and was later dubbed as the Heartbreak Kid. Throughout the entire course of his WWE career, he always took care of his diet and fitness that his body was never really in a bad condition. Of late, he has traded wrestling for working as a commentator and at times, a referee.

 

Becky Lynch - Professional Wrestler

Irish professional wrestler Rebecca Quinn is known as Becky Lynch in the wrestling world. Lynch is signed to the WWE and is the current Raw Women's Champion and SmackDown Women's Champion. She is the only woman to hold both titles. Lynch took a hiatus from wrestling after a severe injury she suffered during a match in 2006. This prevented her from wrestling for several years, during which time she worked as an actress. She returned to WWE in 2012 and made a transition to a more aggressive character in 2018. Becky has a degree from the Dublin Institute of Technology.

Nicole Bass - Died in 2017

The late professional wrestler, bodybuilder, actress, and professional wrestling valet Nicole Bass died in 2017. She appeared on The Howard Stern Show several times as well as in soap operas including Days of Our Lives and The Bold and the Beautiful. Nicole worked for Extreme Championship Wrestling and World Wrestling Federation. At the age of 52, Nicole was admitted to a hospital after she was found unconscious at her home. She was declared to be brain dead the following day after suffering a stroke, so she was taken off life support. She died on February 2017.

 

Ric Flair - Guest Appearances

One of the legends in the history of the WWE is Ric Flair. He had a career that spanned over four decades and this truly earned him a spot in the WWE Hall of Fame. Aside from the WWE, he is also known for having appeared in the WCW, TNA, and NWA. He even takes credit for being a six-time winner of the title, Wrestler of the Year. He decided to retire from wrestling in 2006 but he has been recently making guest appearances on Smackdown and Raw. We're sure that his daughter, Charlotte Flair, looks up to him for bodybuilding tips since she is also pursuing a career as a professional wrestler.

Bret Hart - Guest Appearances

Bret The Hitman Hart is an established and successful wrestler who originated from Canada. He was a common name in the WCW but due to a concussion that he had sustained, he had to go into retirement in 2000. Ten years after his first retirement, he made a comeback in the WWE and eventually became RAW's general manager. We're certain that his house is well-decorated with the 32 championships he has bagged over the entire course of his career. These days, he just makes some minor guest appearances on RAW and NXT. He also seems like he is packing on some extra weight so maybe it's time for him to enter a weight loss program.

Goldberg - WWE Comeback

Bill Goldberg, who is mostly known just by his last name, is a very popular face from the WCW. The 1990s was the height of his wrestling career because he was known for having a year-long winning streak. He also did some work as a commentator for mixed martial arts. There was also a time when he wrestled in Japan because of the fall of WCW. Goldberg still has his fitness intact because instead of retiring, he has made a WWE comeback.

AJ Lee - Writer

When it comes to women who've gained massive popularity in the WWE, wrestler AJ Lee qualifies for the list. She had made a lot of people talk about her when she was wrestling because of so many matches that she's won throughout the entire course of her career. Fans were all shocked back in 2015 when Lee just decided to go into retirement. She claims that her cervical spine damage was a key factor in why she had to retire, but we guess that injury lawyer fees stacking up might also have had a role in her decision. The drama between her husband CM Punk and the WWE also added to her decision. These days, she's been working as a writer and has even released her own memoir entitled, Crazy Is My Superpower.

Charlotte Flair - Active Wrestler

Ashley Elizabeth Fliehr is an author and an actress who also has a successful career as an American wrestler. She is currently signed with WWE and performs on SmackDown. If you’re wondering why you haven’t heard of her, it’s because she performs under the name Charlotte Flair. She is in her third-time reign of the SmackDown Women’s Championship.  In her teen years, she appeared with her dad, Ric Flair on WCW. She started training with WWE in 2010. By 2016, Charlotte Flair's account got richer when she was crowned WWE Women’s Champion and became the first female to win the PWI award for Feud of the Year.

The Honky Tonk Man - Living A Happy Married Life

Did you ever see Elvis Presley in the wrestling ring? Well, if you did, then what you saw was not the real Elvis but Warne Farris who became known for impersonating Elvis in the wrestling ring. He's known as the Honky Tonk Man who had a career both in the WWE and WCW. He had managed to maintain a stable career in the WWE despite him obviously needing a more intensive fitness and diet plan. Today, he has left his wrestling career behind him and focuses on a quiet life away from the spotlight, together with his wife Tammy and their two kids.

Mick Foley - Writing & Acting

Mick Foley easily caught the hearts of wrestling fans because of his trademark face mask and sock on his hand. He is definitely a very experienced name in the game because not only did he appear on the WWE but he also got to appear on the TNA, NWA, WCW, and ECW. Instead of getting involved in any addiction that could've landed him a stay in an alcohol and drug rehab, Foley pursued a career as a writer and actor after his retirement from wrestling. He seems rather skilled in writing because his books became best-sellers. He is also known for the roles he had in movies like Anamorph and Dixieland.

Scott Hall - Sober & Healthy

A lot of you know Scott Hall for his wrestling name, Razor Ramon. Having a career both in the WWE and WCW, he sure earned a ton of money in his savings account. He was part of the New World Order with Hulk Hogan and Kevin Nash. While he might have gained popularity in the WWE, his career in the WCW was what launched him into a massive success.  In fact, he was able to land a spot in the WWE Hall of Fame in 2014. In the 1990s, he battled substance abuse but we're glad to tell you that he is now sober and healthy, thanks to the treatment he got from drug rehab.

The Rock - Successful Actor

Long before Dwayne Johnson was earning a fortune because of his success as an actor, he started out as a wrestler in the WWE. He went by the name, The Rock, and was dubbed as the "people's champion." Wrestling ran in his family because his father and grandfather were known wrestlers, too. His moves like the "rock bottom" and "people's elbow" were what made fans go crazy over him. Throughout his entire career in wrestling, he was able to win a total of 17 championships. These days, he is one of the most in-demand names in Hollywood. He has maintained a very nice physique over the years because of his strict diet and fitness routine.

Vince McMahon - Guest Appearances

Vince McMahon takes credit for the great influence he had had in the world of wrestling, but he was no ordinary wrestler. He is the WWE's CEO. However, he didn't limit himself to just that because he also worked as a commentator and actor. There was something about his personality that wrestling fans loved seeing. His kids, Stephanie and Shane McMahon, have also decided to work in the WWE. Now, at 72 years old and after several claims from his health insurance, he has built a net worth of $1.62 billion (you read that right). But McMahon continues to be active in the WWE and still makes appearances on the ring from time to time.

Stone Cold Steve Austin - TV Host

Stone Cold Steve Austin is another name in the WWE who caught the attention of many fans because of the unique attitude and personality he brings to the ring. He rose to prominence ever since he beat Bret Hart during their match at Wrestlemania 13. His wrestling career had made him shed a lot of blood, sweat, and tears because he had had neck and knee injuries, so much so that we bet that there had been occasions when he had to contact an injury lawyer. Now that his wrestling days are over, he does some work as a TV host and hosts shows like Redneck Island and Steve Austin’s Broken Skull Challenge.

The Undertaker - Real Estate Investing

Mark Calaway, popularly known in the WWE as The Undertaker, had a very mysterious vibe in the ring that people loved. He first had his career debut in Wrestlemania VIII and his success just continued on ever since. One fun fact about him that you might not have known was that before he was known as The Undertaker, he was actually called Mean Mark Callous. He was known for having a long winning streak up until Brock Lesnar beat him during Wrestlemania XXX. In 2017, his retirement planning came to fruition, and we heard that he has maintained his 'financial fitness' by getting involved in real estate investing.

Jimmy Snuka - Died Due To Terminal Neurological Illness

James Snuka or more popularly known as Jimmy Superfly Snuka was one of the older names in the WWE. The height of his career was back in the 1980s when the WWE was still called the WWF. Everybody knew him by his signature move called the Superfly Splash. Sadly, Snuka was known for having poor mental health because of his struggle with dementia. Even when he was summoned to the court regarding his girlfriend's murder, he couldn't even go to trial because of his poor health. The charges were later dropped but his poor health got the best of him and he passed away at the age of 73.

Randy Orton - Still In The WWE

Randy Orton has been through a lot in his life that we're sure he is very proud of what he has achieved. He started out as a member of the United States Marines but later got dishonorably discharged. He later made the move of joining the world of wrestling and by 2004, he was the youngest wrestler who was able to win the Heavyweight Championship. He maintains a strict diet and workout routine until this day because he is still pursuing a career in the WWE. He is happily married to Kimberly Kessler and the two have a child together.

Edge - Pursuing Acting

Adam Joseph Copeland, who is known in the WWE for his alias Edge, began his career as a wrestler way in 1992. He became a common name in the WWE and had a lot of women go head over heels in awe of him. He had a career of almost two decades and was able to bag 31 championships. When he decided to leave the world of wrestling, he entered the Hollywood industry and has since managed to earn a lot of money through his work as an actor. He is most recognized for the roles he had in shows like The Flash, Deal or No Deal, and Vikings. We guess that to stay in shape and look good on-screen, Adam tries to maintain a fitness and diet plan.

Stephanie McMahon - Commissioner of RAW

Stephanie McMahon is the daughter of Vince McMahon and she sure wanted in on the family business. Unlike her brother who pursued a career as a wrestler, Stephanie chose to work outside the ring as the WWE's Chief Brand Officer. She actually fell in love with famous wrestler Triple H and the two tied the knot in 2003. They already have three daughters together and we're sure these girls will grow up fit and healthy because their parents are experts in diet and exercise. Recent reports have revealed that Stephanie is in the process of writing her own memoir.

 

Kevin Nash - Pursuing Acting

Kevin Nash joined the WWE in the early 1990s. Wrestling fans know him by the alias, Diesel. He later decided to move to the World Championship Wrestling or WCW, and this launched him into greater success. This is where he formed the group, New World Order, with Hulk Hogan and Scott Hall. Nowadays, he has retired from wrestling and is focusing on working as an actor. Most of you might recognize him for the role he had in the Magic Mike movies. At 58 years old, we wonder what his fitness secrets are because he still has a body of a wrestler.

Molly Holly - Counselor

Molly Holly started her wrestling career in 1999 in the WCW when she was still known as Miss Madness. By 2000, she had moved to the WWE and was able to have a wrestling career that spanned five years. Her interest in fitness is what drove her to pursue a career as a wrestler. When she opted to retire in 2005, she still wanted to do something else with her life. The former wrestler now works as a counselor at an alcohol and drug rehab center. She is quite active in helping kids who are dealing with numerous addiction and mental health issues. But perhaps out of her passion for wrestling, she also teaches it at the Academy School of Professional Wrestling.

Jacqueline - Guest Appearances

Jacqueline DeLois Moore is another female name in wrestling who started her career in the 1990s. She is the third female wrestler who bagged the WWE Cruiserweight Championship. She has always been following a good diet plan and fitness routine that even when she's not preparing for a match, she still works out and is, in fact, a fitness coach and referee. Back in 2016, she finally earned a spot in the WWE Hall of Fame. These days, she is still making some appearances on the WWE and some of you might have seen her in last January 2018's Royal Rumble.

Yokozuna - Died Due To Pulmonary Edema

Yokozuna was the wrestler who looked like he was all set and ready to Sumo Wrestle inside the ring. He didn't use his real name Rodney Agatupa Anoa'i during his career, and he went by his stage name, Yokozuna - a title taken from the world of sumo wrestling. He had a fruitful career because he was a two-time WWF Heavyweight Championship. Yokozuna took the credit for beating Hulk Hogan and Bret Bart during Wrestlemania IX. With his huge size, weight loss wasn't a priority for him because he wanted to be the heaviest name in professional wrestling. Sadly, his career came to a sudden end in 2000 when he died of pulmonary edema.

Andre The Giant - Died Due To Congestive Heart Failure

Andre The Giant truly lived up to his name and was one of the tallest names in wrestling. He was crowned the WWF World Heavyweight Champion once as well as the WWF Tag Team Champion. He didn't really have to put that much effort into bodybuilding because his size already gave him an edge inside the ring. Aside from wrestling, he also experienced how it was to be an actor - appearing in the movie, The Princess Bride. Sadly, the big guy's heart gave out as congestive heart failure killed him in 1993. Andre had a humongous appetite both for food and alcohol, so no health insurance plan could protect him from himself.

Kelly Kelly - Reality Star

Barbara Blank Souray, or more popularly known as Kelly Kelly, has caught the attention of WWE fans through the feuds she's had with her co-wrestlers. One of the most notable feuds she had was with Mike Knox who was her boyfriend at that time. He ended up doing his signature move on Kelly Kelly and this later resulted in her having a "scripted injury." An injury lawyer wasn't needed because it was all part of the plan, but Kelly Kelly had to take six weeks off from the show. Today, she's a reality TV star because of her stint at WAGS.

Gangrel - Adult Film Director

WWF fans remember wrestler Gangrel for he was a household name way back in the late 1990s. During the mid-2000s, he was appearing in the WWE but he was never able to achieve massive success like the other wrestlers on this list. He was known for his "vampire" persona but it didn't really sell well to the majority of wrestling fans. Nowadays, he gets to earn a decent amount of money through his work as an adult movie director. It's good that he's found another kind of career path rather than get involved in different kinds of vices that might send him to drug rehab.

Stephanie McMahon AKA The Authority - WWE's Chief Brand Officer

Being the daughter of Vince McMahon, it was just destiny for Stephanie McMahon to end up being deeply involved in the WWE. Not long after she's started wrestling in the ring, she had her time to shine when she became the WWF Women's Champion once. She also found love inside the rind because she married fellow wrestling star, Triple H. Currently, she works as the WWE's Chief Brand Officer and RAW's on-screen commissioner. Thanks to all the earnings she's had made all these years, it's likely that she has secured for her family an excellent health insurance plan or even a retirement fund for herself.

Roddy Piper - Died Due To A Cardiac Arrest

Hulk Hogan was one of the names who got a lot of credit back in the 1980s, but do you remember how notable Rowdy Roddy Piper was during that same era? He was known for being quite the villain back then and he was a headliner during the first Wrestlemania event. Even long after he retired from wrestling, he still made frequent appearances on the WWE ring. He also ventured out into working as an actor. Sadly, despite his history of following a strict diet and a fitness routine, he passed away in 2015 due to a cardiac arrest. He was 61.

Kurt Angle - RAW's General Manager

Kurt Angle was in the process of completing a college degree from the Clarion University of Pennsylvania when he got into wrestling. In fact, he was already wrestling in the 1996 Summer Olympics and this was where he had a taste of a gold medal win. He later signed a contract with the WWE and by 2000, he bagged the title of King of the Ring. But things weren't always easy for Kurt because he had to deal with an injury lawyer so many times for numerous injuries. Aside from needing neck surgery, his two cervical vertebrae were also fractured once. These days, he's still well-involved in the WWE and serves as RAW's General Manager.

Tito Santana - P.E. Teacher

Tito Santana was a known name in wrestling from the 1980s and a lot of fans remember him because of the feud he had with Randy Macho Man Savage and Greg The Hammer Valentine. He later found even more success with his wrestling career after he and Rick Martel became a tag team called the Strike Force. He is now 64 years old and we doubt that he would still be up for some bodybuilding. He currently earns money through his work as a physical education teacher in high school. He also makes some appearances in different wrestling conventions.

Stacy Keibler - Focusing On Family Life

Stacy Keibler was truly one of the women in wrestling who might or might not have appeared in your dreams because she's just one of the most beautiful faces that the WWE has ever seen. Standing at 5'11, she was known for her long and beautiful legs. Stacey retired from wrestling in 2006 so that she could pursue a career in acting, modeling, and hosting. Wrestling fans might notice a slight change in Keibler's looks today, mainly because she has reportedly undergone some plastic surgery procedures. These days, she is busy raising her baby girl with husband Jared Pobre.

Batista - Successful Actor

Just like Dwayne Johnson, Batista aka Dave Bautista found success after his time on the WWE through working as an actor. Bautista has always been fond of mixed martial arts and bodybuilding that we guess that he was able to already secure a health insurance at a very young age. His wrestling debut came in 2002 and he has remained a notable name in the WWE ever since. These days, a lot of you would recognize him for acting in the Guardians of the Galaxy movies. Bautista fans are very excited to see him in the upcoming movie, Avengers: Infinity War.

Booker T - Panelist

Booker T has worked very hard before he was able to make it big in the WWE. He started his wrestling career by appearing in TNA or Total Nonstop Action Wrestling. He later shifted to WCW and it was only a matter of time before he finally set foot in the WWE ring. As he grew older and his career slowed down, he turned his attention elsewhere - working as a commentator for Smackdown. He also eventually became its General Manager. He may be fully retired today but he still earns money through working as a panelist for different pay-per-view events.

Sgt. Slaughter - WWE Ambassador

Sgt. Slaughter is a classic name in the WWE but he was never able to become a big and notable star in the ring. He is most known for his appearance in Wrestlemania 8. But even if he didn't achieve massive fame like a lot of WWE stars, we're sure he still earned enough money in his checking account to live a comfortable life. Although he has long retired from wrestling (and the rigid diet plan), he is still playing an important role in WWE as an ambassador. His history with the company makes him eligible to represent the WWE in different media and TV events.

Chyna - Died Due To A Drug Overdose

Chyna had put some guys who love bodybuilding to shame because of her superb physique. She was one of the first women in wrestling who was brave enough to take on men in the ring. She actually was so good that she won the Intercontinental Championship of the WWE. She faced plastic surgery problems once when her breast implants were damaged during a match. She later had to have custom breast implants made for her. Chyna had also battled substance abuse and mental health problems. Instead of getting cured by drug rehab, her addiction got the best of her and she eventually passed away due to a drug overdose in 2016.

Alundra Blayze - Owns A Spa & Doggy Bakery

Just like Chyna, Alundra Blayze was a woman who was into serious bodybuilding. Even if she was quite victorious in the WWE after winning the Women's title in the WWE, it seemed like wrestling was not really for her. Fans would remember that Blaze actually dumped her title in the trash. She didn't do it low-key for she did this on live television. She eventually retired from wrestling and underwent training to become a monster truck driver (we wonder if she hired an injury lawyer then). She's known as an excellent monster truck driver and even won the World Finals twice. These days, she is doing well in her earnings by managing different businesses. She also owns a doggy bakery and a grooming and spa center.

Trish Stratus - Owns A Yoga Studio

Who said the world of wrestling and bodybuilding was only for men? Trish Stratus was one of the female wrestlers in the WWE who truly made people remember her. Before becoming a wrestler, she was already earning money in her bank account through working as a model and fitness expert. She takes credit for winning the title of WWE Babe of the Year for a total of three times. She was also later named Diva of the Decade. These days, she is retired from the WWE and is focused on managing her own yoga studio called Stratusphere. We can't help but also mention that at 41 years old, Trish is looking great, even without any artificial beauty enhancements like plastic surgery or Botox.

Big Show - Pursuing Acting

It's hard not to notice The Big Show because he is one of the tallest guys in the WWE. We wonder what kind of a bodybuilding program a guy as big as him has to be able to maintain his physique. Before his success in the WWE, he was competing in the WCW and went by the name, The Giant. Throughout his whole career, he was able to bring home a total of 23 championships. He truly became a celebrity and gained fans from all over the world. These days, his wrestling career has slowed down and he does a lot of work as an actor. You might recognize him for the roles he had in Star Trek: Enterprise and Royal Pains.

 

 

Lita - Pursuing A Career As A Musician & Actress

Another diva who was a crowd favorite was Amy Christine Dumas/Lita. Her wrestling career started in Extreme Championship Wrestling and it was in 1999 that she was given a big break in the WWE. Wrestling fans remember her for being in a trio with Jeff and Matt Hardy called the Xtreme Trio. She may have retired in 2006, but she is thankful that she was able to bag the Women's Championship for four times. These days, she is pursuing a career as a musician and is a part of the band, The Luchagors.  She also appeared in shows like Dark Angel and Fear Factor. Lita has aged like fine wine, and even if some may assume that she got plastic surgery, it's likely that she just has a very good skincare routine.

Eva Marie - Actress, Fashion Designer, And Fitness Model

Eva Marie's wrestling days were long over as she left WWE in August 2017. However, she is busy doing other things. She is an actress, a fitness model, and a fashion designer. She made her film debut the same year she announced her retirement from WWE and starred in the thriller Inconceivable along with stars like Nicholas Cage and Gina Gershon. The 34-year-old Eva Marie appeared on the Sports Illustrated website in 2012. Eva Marie has been in commercials and launched her own clothing line in 2016. She also appeared in two WWE video games.

Sable - Married To Brock Lesnar

Rena Marlette Greek who goes by the alias Sable was a classic WWE diva. She did some work as an actress and model but her career as a wrestler was where she found the most success. She takes credit for being the second name in the WWE who was able to bag the Women's Championship. A lot of wrestling fans loved the long-lived rivalry she had with wrestler Torrie Wilson. She decided to retire from the WWE in 2004 to live a quiet life with her family. These days, she is known to be married to Brock Lesnar and the two already have two sons. By the looks of it, Rena tries to sustain the fitness and diet discipline she's been accustomed to back in her wrestling days.

Kane - Still Wrestling While Acting

Just like The Undertaker, Kane rose to popularity, thanks to the mysterious personality he brings to the ring. Also, he and The Undertaker are half-siblings who had some kind of a "sibling rivalry" in the WWE. He has always been known for the unique costumes he wears on the ring. Over the years, his looks have changed - with the telltale signs of aging, though he's still with the WWE until this day even if he is already 50 years old. Aside from wrestling, Kane is also known for working as an actor and he has made a ton of money through the roles he had in movies like See No Evil 2 and MacGruber. With his earnings, we're certain that he has managed to get himself an excellent health insurance plan.

Lex Luger - Wellness Consultant

Wrestling fans from way back remember Lex Luger who was on World Championship Wrestling. Luger was so good that he bagged the United States Championship five times and the World Heavyweight Championship once. He, however, did not win any championships from the WWF. Luger was paralyzed in 2007 as a result of a nerve impingement. He refused to give up hope, battling depression with faith in God to heal. And after years of intravenous antibiotic treatment, he fully recovered by 2010. Luger currently works with the WWE, tackling their wellness policy.

Ronda Rousey - Professional Wrestler, Author, Actress

It appears that Ronda Rousey can do anything she sets her mind into. Ronda is an actress, author, judoka, professional wrestler, and former mixed martial artist. This 32-year-old "Rowdy" is without a doubt one of the most influential female athletes, and her portfolio confirms it. She is the first American female judoka to earn an Olympic medal in the sport (she won a bronze medal at the Summer Olympics of 2008). Ronda began her wrestling career in 2018 and is currently signed to WWE, performing under the Raw brand. She made her wrestling debut at WrestleMania 34 and has actually won her first WWE championship title during the SummerSlam.

Brock Lesnar - Professional Wrestler

Brock Lesnar is a former professional football player and currently a professional wrestler and mixed martial artist. He made his debut in WWE in 2002 and soon became the youngest champion in the title history by winning the WWE Championship. He took a hiatus from wrestling, which lasted eight years, but returned to it in 2012. The 41-year-old Lesnar is a six-time world champion in WWE. He is married to professional wrestler Rena Greek AKA Sable and has four children: two sons with Sable and twins from his previous relationship.
