10 WWE Ruthless Aggression Era stars: Where are they now?

#2. WWE Hall of Famer JBL

John Bradshaw Layfield was an established superstar on the WWE roster in 2002. Nonetheless, he only transitioned from a mid-card wrestler to a main-event player during the Ruthless Aggression Era.

The 54-year-old adopted the JBL gimmick in 2004 after the disbanding of the APA, establishing himself as one of the best heels in WWE history. A few months later, he captured his first-ever WWE Championship. He held the title for 280 days before losing it to John Cena at WrestleMania 21.

The following few years saw JBL continue his success in WWE. In 2009, he officially announced his retirement from in-ring competition. In the following years, he made several WWE appearances and worked as a color commentator.

In 2017, JBL stepped away from the commentary table to focus on other projects. Although he occasionally appears on pre-show panels, the self-made millionaire is currently a businessman and financial commentator.

#1. Former WWE Superstar Stacy Keibler

Like Torrie Wilson, Stacy Keibler never won a championship in WWE. Nonetheless, she was one of the most popular female superstars during the Ruthless Aggression Era.

Keibler joined WWE in 2001 and took part in several storylines and feuds with superstars like The Dudley Boyz, Test, and Trish Stratus in the following years. Her WWE run, however, only lasted for five years. The 42-year-old left Vince McMahon's company in 2006.

After her WWE departure, Keibler acted in several movies and TV shows. She also started dating Hollywood megastar George Clooney in 2011, but their relationship ended two years later. In late 2013, she went into a relationship with Future Ads CEO Jared Pobre. The couple married in March 2014. They now have three children.

Keibler and her husband currently own a skin-care company for men called "Caldera + Lab."
