For many Superstars of WWE, a stint with the company is more than enough to keep them afloat and busy for the entirety of their working life.
With the heavy touring schedule that comes with a life in the ring, coupled with the toll the business takes on one’s body, it becomes difficult for many Superstars to even continue with a healthy personal life, let alone try their hands at anything else.
However, many current and former Superstars have tried their hands at opening up businesses outside the company, with several having some connection to the company or its business directly.
Paige, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, and The Bella Twins are a few of the many former WWE Superstars who have their own businesses outside the company, while there are a few current businesspersons in the company looking to ensure they have a stream of income outside the WWE too.
With that in mind, we have compiled a list of 5 current WWE Superstars who you probably didn’t know had businesses outside the company.
#5 Bobby Lashley
Bobby Lashley is arguably one of the meanest and toughest Superstars WWE has in their arsenal today. Even though his current run with the company may not be as good as his previous run, he has proven his worth inside the ring on several promotions and inside the Octagon too.
The man who is known to cut his opponents in half with lethal Spears, Spine Busters and Jackhammers is also known to have a few businesses outside the ring.
In fact, his Twitter account bio introduces him as an “MMA Fighter. Professional Wrestler. Business Professional, Nutrabolics Athlete”.
Bobby Lashley is not just all about WWE
Lashley first ventured into the world of business in 2007 when he opened up a shop that sells health smoothies. Keeping in mind the WWE Superstar's physique and workout routine, it seems like the Superstar knew his target market perfectly.
A couple of years later in 2009, Lashey introduced the world to The Lashley Network. The Lashley Network is made up of his online nutrition store, gym, and social media accounts.
The following year, Lashley opened up the American Top Team Altitude gym in Denver, Colorado. The gym is also stated to showcase MMA events.
Later the same year, Lashley along with Judith Sussman took off with Lashley Management, an MMA Management company that represents current and prospective MMA fighters.
It looks like Lashley has racked up quite a business portfolio that can help him stream in some other sources of income after he retires from WWE!
#4 Tyler Breeze
Tyler Breeze may be the most unique and gifted athlete in WWE today, and even though we see him compete as an enhancement talent more often than not, there is no denying that he is among the top wrestlers in the company.
The Gorgeous Superstar was trained by Lance Storm and signed with WWE in 2010. Since then, he has partnered with several Superstars, with Fandango being the top pick among his partners.
After returning to NXT in 2019, the Superstar has managed to get into some major rivalries on the Black and Gold brand and even competed against the legendary Jushin Thunder Liger at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn.
Tyler Breeze gives back to the community outside WWE
Being gifted is not good enough if you plan not to give back to the community, but Breeze has ensured that he, along with former WWE Superstar Tye Dillinger, has done a lot to help new talent come forward.
In May 2019, the duo opened up a wrestling school in Apopka, Florida. The school is called The Flatbacks Wrestling School. The school has hosted several guests from the WWE, including Peyton Royce and Zack Ryder, and will likely help WWE get hold of some more top talent like Breeze himself.
#3 The Undertaker
The Undertaker is arguably the biggest and most well-known names in WWE and the world of wrestling. Even those who do not watch wrestling are familiar with the name of The Phenom as not only has he taken the WWE by storm with his gimmicks, but also inspired an entire generation of new performers.
Even though Undertaker is not among the topmost decorated Superstars of WWE, everyone is well aware of his value to the company, something that has kept him attached to Vince McMahon and his business for almost three decades.
While The Deadman’s presence strikes fear into the hearts of his opponents inside the WWE ring, he indulges in a completely different sort of business outside the ring.
The Phenom of WWE invests in Real Estate
Undertaker is a real estate investor with business partner Scott Everhart. The two men finished construction on a $2.7m building in Loveland, Colorado, called "The Calahart" in 2007.
The name of the company is a portmanteau of their real last names. It makes sense for a man who has made most of his earnings from his in-ring career to diversify and put his savings to work near the twilight of his career.
Apart from running an investment company, The Undertaker and his ex-wife Sara founded The Zeus Compton Calaway Save the Animals fund at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences which helps pay for the treatment of dogs suffering from life-threatening diseases.
#2 Seth Rollins
Seth Rollins is arguably the leading guy in WWE today. His accomplishments in the ring, coupled with his relationship with the top woman in WWE, Becky Lynch, have helped him become one of the most talked-about athletes in the world today.
Rollins started his career in NXT and became the only member of The Shield to win the NXT Championship. He followed up his success in the Black and Gold brand and is now the one most decorated WWE Superstars in the company with several WWE Championship, Universal Championship, Tag Team Championship, and Intercontinental Championship reigns.
Seth Rollins' life outside the WWE
With so many accomplishments under his belt, Rollins has decided to give back to the wrestling community just like Tyler Breeze.
In 2014, Rollins and his friend Marek Brave started The Black & The Brave Wrestling Academy. Based in Moline, The Black & The Brave is a wrestling school for those aspiring to become top Superstars someday.
Rollins continues to spend some time in the academy where he coaches the students himself along with the other trainers and coaches.
Apart from that, Rollins opened a coffee shop in early 2019 under the name ‘329 Dport’ in his hometown of Davenport, Iowa.
Looks like The Architect is looking to build a career outside the world of wrestling too!
#1 Asuka
Asuka is one of the leading women in WWE today, and with Becky Lynch deciding to take some time off from the ring, she could well become the face of RAW in the coming months.
Asuka became only the Second Female Grand Slam Champion in the company after she won the 2020 Money in the Bank Ladder Match which ultimately awarded her the RAW Women’s Championship after Lynch relinquished it on her way to motherhood.
Asuka - from Japan to WWE
While The Empress is phenomenal in the ring, many fans are also aware that she is extremely good at gaming. The Empress is a graduate from the Osaka University of Arts Junior College and has her own graphic design agency.
What’s more interesting is the fact that Asuka also has her very own hair salon back in Japan! That’s right, the woman with the most colorful hair in the business has an outlet that allows her to express her art through physical transformation too.
Asuka’s hair salon is called Another Heaven and is situated in Yokohama, Japan. Famous wrestlers such as Kenny Omega have also visited her salon for a transformation and given a shoutout to the former WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion.
