What Are Your Favorite Wrestlers Up to Now?
Wrestling has been around for a long time. The WWE alone has been around for a whopping 70 years! It's no surprise that it's made a major mark on society and popular culture. With globally popular events like Wrestlemania, King of the Ring, and Royal Rumble, there has been an almost endless stream of new wrestlers.
Over the years, the public has been introduced to a variety of wrestlers, each more outrageous than the last. Some have basically become A-list celebrities and household names as they rocketed from nobody to a legend in the wrestling industry.
So, how are your favorites fairing? Maybe they’ve stepped away from the ring, or maybe they’re still going. Some have branched out into other forms of entertainment, while others stuck with the fitness field. Here’s a look at what the biggest WWE superstars are doing today.

Did you know...
- In the summer of 2007, Joh Hamm became a household name when Mad Men premiered to critical acclaim and strong ratings. Just over a year and a half later, Ellie Kemper stole America's hearts (and Dwight's and Andy's) when she became the new receptionist on The Office. Before they were famous, Hamm was Kemper's high school drama teacher!
- In February 2020, Jeff Bezos bought the most expensive property in California: a $165 million mansion. It was designed for Jack Warner (the former president of Warner Bros. entertainment company). It took a decade to construct (spanning the 1930s and 40s). It comes complete with 9 acres of Beverly Hills land, a main house, a guest house, a tennis court, a golf course, and terraces.
- After her role as First Lady came to an end, Jackie Kennedy went into the publishing business. She became an associate editor at Doubleday and worked mostly on autobiographies. In fact, she was one of two original editors for Michael Jackson's 2009 autobiography Moonwalk, a #1 New York Times bestseller.
- When Rihanna debuted her famous red locks in 2010 (around the same time she was featured on Eminem's "Love the Way You Lie"), she started a red-hair trend. Over the next twelve months, she changed her hairstyle 13 times—more than once a month! But that came at a pricey cost. Sources say the annual price tag came out to $1,168,000 on just her hair.
- Paris Hilton not only lives in a mansion, she also built a doghouse mansion for her Chihuahua. It's 300 square feet and includes air conditioning and heating. It comes decked out with designer furniture, a chandelier, a pink paint job, second-floor balcony, and enclosed "yard." It's not enough for you to live in luxury. Your dog must, as well.
