Whatever Happened To WWE Diva Victoria?

Though it wasn’t her first foray into the restaurant business, having previously owned Fat Tony’s Pizzeria in Louisville, Kentucky, Varon and her husband jumped back into the food and beverage game in 2013 with The Squared Circle, described to WWE.com at the time as “a burger and pizza spot in the Lincoln Park neighborhood of [Chicago, Illinois].”

“We serve gourmet stuffed burgers,” Varon told WWE, “like the ‘Fat Elvis,’ which has peanut butter, banana, and bacon. And we have pizza, thin-crust, traditional New York-style and deep-dish Chicago-style, made with duck fat,” she added, also noting that the establishment also had a bar full of various craft beers, and a unique array of side dishes and appetizers. Much like the grand opening of her car shop before it, many of her wrestling contemporaries frequented and supported the venture, with Kevin Nash, DDP, Honky Tonk Man, Rikishi, and Alicia Fox among names she cited as having stopped by, and several others, including The Undertaker, donated memorabilia with which to decorate the restaurant’s walls.

In 2015, Varon disassociated with the business, moving to California and leaving it in the hands of her husband. Two months later, it drew media attention when an armed intruder entered the business and was restrained and slammed by Varon’s estranged husband Lee, who told the Chicago Tribune, “I had zero sympathy for the guy. There could have been a shootout in the restaurant because of him.”

The Squared Circle closed two years later in April of 2017.
