7 current and former WWE Superstars and what they want to do after retiring 

#4 Jeff Hardy - Artistic pursuits

Jeff Hardy is a talented artist and performer outside of WWE

It's hard to believe that Jeff Hardy will ever officially retire from the ring, the multi-time Tag Team Champion has dedicated his life to the business and on more than one occasion, definitely risked it as well.

Outside of WWE, Jeff has several other interests, including art, which he regularly shows off when he paints his face for matches. Is he also part of a band called Peroxwhy?Gen, the band has already released two albums with their most recent being back in 2015.

Hardy also opened his own website called JeffHardyBrand.com a few years ago and it seems that Hardy will continue to run this alongside his brother as well as make music and paint. Hardy is a very talented artistically, so he has a lot of things that he could spend his spare time doing when wrestling is off the table.

#3. Daniel Bryan - Gardening

Daniel Bryan has always had a passion for gardening

Daniel Bryan was forced to announce his retirement from in-ring competition back in 2016 because WWE doctors refused to clear him to return to the ring. Thankfully, he did return in March 2018 and has even gone on to win the WWE Championship and the SmackDown Tag Team Championship upon his return.

However, Bryan can't wrestle forever and it seems that with his wife's plans to have a large family, Bryan has to have a plan B.

Bryan talked about how much he loved gardening on an episode of Total Bellas before stating that when he walks into the sunset, he hopes to start his own Youtube channel dedicated to this passion. It's definitely something that is the complete opposite of wrestling.

#2. Dolph Ziggler - Comedian
