In wrestling, talents often end up staying involved in the industry for long periods of time simply due to the fact that it is their biggest skill. It can lead to people competing for years or taking up roles behind the scenes in order to continue helping the business after their time in the ring has to finish.
However, that isn't the case for everybody. There are many people who have ended up finding success away from the ring after their time is done, looking to start out new ventures and passions, and for these women, that was certainly the case.
10 Bella Twins
The Bella Twins are seemingly able to find success at everything they put their minds to. Since walking away from wrestling Nikki and Brie have had tremendous success in tons of different ways, all away from the ring.
They've launched their own wine company, started a successful podcast, become producers on a reality show and they've also created their own fashion line. The two of them are extremely motivated and because of that, it is no surprise they've really flourished.
9 Paige
Paige's career came to an end far earlier than she would have wanted, with a neck injury forcing her to retire in her prime. While she's dabbled in different roles as a manager and a GM, for the most part, Paige hasn't been seen in WWE.
However, she has continued to flourish away from the ring, making the most of her social media presence with Twitch. She's created a community on the platform with her gaming videos, and they have proven to be incredibly popular, allowing her to continue to have success.
8 Maryse
Maryse was a great in-ring talent who really shone as a top-level heel, and she even returned to WWE to work with The Miz, which really added to his presentation too. But away from the ring, she's had plenty of success.
Herself and Miz have had a successful career flipping houses, showcasing their renovation skills and eye for detail. But Maryse also has her own makeup line, with her moisturizer even being sold in Sephora.
7 Maxine
Maxine will likely be best remembered for her storyline involving EC3 when he was Derrick Bateman. While she was never pushed too heavily, she was part of NXT during its game show phase, but since hanging up the boots she's had plenty of success.

2 Stacy Keibler
Stacy Keibler was always very popular in WWE, and because of that, it was clear that she was destined for big things. That's certainly been the case for her, as Keibler's post-wrestling life has certainly been busy.
She's worked as a model for various magazines, but she's also thrived as an actress. Keibler has popped up on Psych, How I Met Your Mother, while also being a host of Supermarket Superstars and a guest judge on Project Runway amongst many other roles.
1 AJ Lee
