The Miz & Maryse have graced fans' television screens with some great moments. While the latter has featured in fewer matches and segments in recent years, she has remained a big part of WWE.

The two have a reality show called Miz & Mrs that has been doing the rounds on the USA Network. She also has an online store selling various clothing pieces and accessories called House of Maryse.

"House of Maryse is an online store where you can buy jewelry, bikinis, lingerie, all those beautiful things I love to wear on a daily basis. It's available in 400 stores so it's a really big project of mine," Maryse explained on her LinkedIn profile.

She is also a licensed realtor who has been enjoying her time representing some big names:

"I think being a realtor is the coolest job ever, especially in Los Angeles. The job over there is really different from what you see around the United States or anywhere else. In L.A., being in real estate, it’s kind of like, who’s the star agent and how many celebrities does this agent represent?" said the former Divas Champion.

The A-lister is lucky to have a multi-talented wife like Maryse. They are arguably the most must-see couple in all of sports entertainment.

We have 2 dogs, Valerie Ann and Chuck, 4 cats, Theodore, Nova, Sebastian and Scootsie and 2 frogs, Dolly and Fred," Samantha said.

The foundation is managed by animal lovers who are willing to go the extra mile to help pet owners. It's an innovative business that caters to a sector that is often overlooked.

Malakai Black has been ripping up AEW with his incredible work in the ring since leaving WWE. However, his wife Queen Zelina, has stuck around with the company and won the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship once.

The power couple has remained in the spotlight for their work inside and outside the ring. While Zelina loves to cosplay, Malakai has a clothing business behind the scenes.

Malakai has worked with BlackCraft Cult to create his line of 'Black Mass Clothing.' He's been in the business for nearly four years now. He announced the launch of his clothing line with the following message on Instagram:

"Stoked to announce the first of my Black Mass clothing line pieces with @blackcraftcult is dropping today. Get the ‘Root Of All Evil’-shirt now!"

Cody Rhodes returned to WWE this year and immediately got into a top rivalry against Seth Rollins. The American Nightmare is currently out with an injury but is looking to make his return to the ring very soon.

Cody met his wife Brandi Rhodes when the two were working for WWE. They got married in September 2013 and became proud parents of a daughter last year.

In 2014, Brandi started her swimwear line called "Confection Swimwear." It's unclear whether the business is still running or not.

During her time in AEW, Brandi also introduced Heels by organizing events like live Zoom get-togethers with herself and other AEW personnel. The business later introduced merch for sale and a $49-a-year subscription-based membership platform that provides exclusive access to exclusive AEW talent Q&As.

In an interview with Entrepreneur, Brandi opened up about her business model for Heels.

"The other thing is, from a marketing standpoint, this is not something we looked at and said, 'Hey, we're gonna make a ton of money off of this.' It's not unlike a lot of small business. This is not something we expect to be profitable for a long time, if ever. The only reason we ask for money for membership is because there's a cost to run it," she said.

Brandi has never backed down from a challenge and has always kept herself busy. She also has a TV show called 'A Shot of Brandi.'


#1. WWE legend Randy Orton is proud of his wife Kim Kessler's business

Randy Orton has carved a niche in the industry with his incredible work in the ring. The Viper is one of the most successful men in the industry today.

The Legend Killer's wife, Kim Orton, has launched her clothing line called 'Slthr.' The business came to life last year, and Orton has helped promote the business on his social media platforms.

In an appearance on Broken Skull with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, he spoke about his wife's business in great detail.

"So my lovely wife, Kim Orton, came up with the brand Slthr and she has worked for years to come up with this brand and I'm very proud of her man," Randy said, "Like I tell you what, I'm doing my thing in the ring, she is doing her thing at home raising five kids. On the side, she is also the owner of her own company Slthr. And yeah, we are selling some merch man. I'll tell you what, if it's me to a tee I love it. I'm proud of her."

Not only is The Viper incredibly proud of his wife, but Stone Cold loves how she named the clothing line based on Orton's nickname. It's great to see Kim building a business that she is passionate about and taking the Orton family forward.
