My Take
Nikki Garcia is interesting to me precisely because she's had two careers under two names. As Nikki Bella she became one of WWE's most recognizable women, and the Hall of Fame nod confirms that wasn't a fluke. But I think the smarter move was pivoting into television personality work and rebuilding her brand around her real name. Wrestlers who manage that transition outside the ring are the exception, not the rule. To me she reads as someone who understood early that the character and the person are separate assets, and she's spent her career monetizing both without letting either swallow the other.
