5 WWE Women who have successful businesses 

In recent months, WWE has released several female superstars, including Mickie James, Billie Kay, Peyton Royce, and Ruby Riott. Women are competing for much smaller slots on WWE TV and are well aware that their careers can come to an end at any time.

Several current and former WWE Superstars have taken that step to ensure that they will be financially safe if their names are on the next set of WWE releases. Many of these stars have since gone on to run successful businesses and even won awards in the past.

The following list looks at five current and former WWE Superstars who have successful businesses outside the wrestling business.

#5. Current WWE Superstar Liv Morgan

Liv Morgan has watched her Riott Squad teammates Ruby Riott and Sarah Logan depart in recent years as budget cuts forced WWE's hand.

Morgan is the only member of the group left after the trio debuted on the main roster back in 2017. It appears the star has decided to take control of her future, and it was reported last year that Morgan and former WWE Superstar Bo Dallas have started a real estate business of their own.

In the fall of last year, Morgan made it public knowledge that she was training to be a real estate agent before it was later revealed that she had invested in a farm alongside Bo Dallas.

The couple runs the farm together but, according to a report by The Wrestling Observer earlier this year, the duo has also started a family real estate business.

Dallas has been able to fall back on this career after being released from WWE. The former NXT Champion hasn't decided to step back into the wrestling world in more than a year, which means that their business is already one that the star can make a living from.

Morgan still has many years ahead of her in the ring but, if not, she has ensured that she has a safety net.

#4. WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus

Trish Stratus retired from WWE 15 years ago and has since been the owner of her yoga studio in her hometown of Toronto, Canada.

Stratus has made several returns to the ring since her retirement in 2006, but the former seven-time Women's Champion relies on yoga to remain in shape and pay the bills.

Stratus opened her yoga studio, Stratusphere, in 2008; currently Canada's largest eco-friendly yoga studio. The former WWE Superstar also dipped her toes in the acting pool while continuing to own and run her own business.

Stratusphere was awarded the Top Choice Awards' Best New Business award just a year after its opening in 2009. The following year, the former Women's Champion won the award for Business Woman of the Year, and her studio went on to win the Top Choice Awards' Best Yoga Studio Award in 2013.

Stratus appears to have continued her path of domination outside of the ring as well.

#3. WWE Hall of Famer Ivory

Ivory was a memorable member of the WWE locker room for a number of years before opting against renewing her contract in 2005. After spending several years on the Independent Circuit and working for various animal charities, Ivory opened her own Animal Daycare business in 2007.

The former Women's Champion met her business partner Jessica Ray whilst working at a local animal shelter in Washington. The two women then worked together on Downtown Dog, which is a facility that works as an animal daycare.

Over the years, the business has expanded several times to include veterinary care for animals and the Bow Wow Bus to take the dogs on outings.

Ivory returned to WWE for a one-off appearance as part of Evolution back in 2018, just months after being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, but it appears the star has landed on her feet outside of the business.

#2. WWE Hall of Famers The Bella Twins

The Bella Twins have become two of the most successful former WWE women in the history of the company. Brie and Nikki have been part of both Total Bellas and Total Divas, which is where they've been able to promote their businesses.

The duo began their businesses with the launch of a wine line in 2017. Nikki and Brie launched their wine label called Belle Radici.

In November 2017, they launched BirdieBee, a lifestyle intimates & activewear brand. The twins worked hard on the brand to ensure that it was able to include everything that they felt passionate about as well as their passion for life, strength, women's health and wellness, and fun.

Two years later, the stars launched Nicole and Brizee, which is their body care and beauty line. In addition, the twins have their own families and podcast, and recently mentioned that they want to make their return to WWE.

#1. Former WWE Superstar Maryse

Maryse came to WWE through the annual Diva Search, before going on to become Divas Champion.

After requesting her release from the company, the former star went on to try her hand at several different businesses. This included a clothing and jewelry line called House of Maryse, before becoming a real estate agent in Los Angeles.

In recent years, WWE star The Miz and Maryse have become quite successful after landing their own TV series and network deal. Whilst The Miz is currently working on Dancing With The Stars, his wife is also reaping the benefits.

The couple has welcomed two daughters in recent years and relocated to a new home. Maryse has remained out of the wrestling ring and has instead been concentrating on her own business ideas.

The former Divas Champion currently has her own Volition Beauty moisturizer, which she released earlier this year. Maryse came up with the idea from caffeine tea leaves. The Yaupon Tea Glow-Awakening Moisturizer is now sold by Ulta.
