There are already a number of real-life couples in AEW at present, a list that became much longer last night when Adam Cole joined his girlfriend, Britt Baker.

Baker and Cole were split between WWE and AEW for almost two years before the couple was finally able to meet as part of All Out last night.

Cole wasn't the only former WWE Superstar to make his way over to AEW as part of their All Out event, which leaves the door firmly open to many other stars.

Let's take a look at 5 former WWE Superstars who could opt to head over to AEW to reunite with their partners.


#5. Lana could opt to join Miro as part of AEW

Lana and Miro met and began dating whilst part of WWE. The couple was aligned together in NXT back in 2013, which is when their relationship first began.

The couple has since married, been part of the cast of Total Divas, and have both been released from the company in recent years, which has led to Miro heading over to AEW.

Lana was part of WWE's most recent batch of releases in June and recently announced on her Instagram page that her 90-day no-compete clause had come to an end.

It appears that Lana is currently focusing on the acting career that initially led to her auditioning to be part of WWE in 2013. That being said, it was well documented that The Ravishing Russian spent several months working hard to improve her wrestling ability, and it would be a shame to throw that all away.

Lana was also a talented star on the mic, so it would be interesting to see what kind of creative ideas AEW could come up with for the couple if she decides to make her debut for All Elite.

#4. Renee Paquette could join her husband Jon Moxley in AEW

Jon Moxley is a former AEW World Champion, and his wife Renee Paquette could opt to join the same company as part of their broadcast team.

It doesn't seem like more than a few months ago that the couple was part of WWE. Truth be told, it's been more than two years since Ambrose became Jon Moxley, and his wife Renee Paquette left the company last summer.

The couple has since welcomed their first child, a daughter named Nora, and Moxley has returned to the company following his paternity leave.

Paquette has her own podcast and recently released a cookbook, so whilst the former WWE Superstar has remained occupied since leaving the company, there's always the chance she could join AEW.

Young had a lengthy non-compete clause, but reports suggest that the former star is now free to work for any promotion she chooses.

#3. Peyton Royce could join her husband Shawn Spears in AEW

Peyton Royce and current AEW Superstar Shawn Spears met and began dating whilst they were both part of NXT.

The couple had been together for several years before their relationship became public knowledge and married after Spears left WWE.

In a surprising turn of events, Peyton Royce was released from WWE alongside her IIconics team-mate Billie Kay earlier this year, and the duo has since sat out their 90-day non-compete clause.

Now known as Cassie Lee, Royce recently announced that she is returning to wrestling alongside Kay, presently known as Jessica McKay. The duo has renamed themselves as "The IInspiration" and could be heading over to AEW in the near future.

Recent rumors suggest the tag-team could be heading to IMPACT Wrestling, but with Royce's husband wrestling for AEW, there's always a chance that All Elite Wrestling could add them to their Women's Division.

#2. WWE Hall of Famer Brie Bella could join her husband Daniel Bryan in AEW

Daniel Bryan made his surprise debut in AEW last night as part of their All Out pay-per-view, which now opens the door for his wife to return to wrestling.

It is quite unlikely given the spotlight that WWE has given The Bella Twins over the years, but Brie and Nikki Bella have recently noted that they are open to returning to the ring.

The WWE Hall of Famers want to return to WWE to challenge for the Women's Tag Team Championships, but now that Bryan has decided to sign for AEW, it's unclear where this leaves his wife. She could very well consider joining him.

Brie and Daniel met whilst being part of WWE together and were later paired on-screen. The couple has since married and welcomed two children.The have even been cast members on Total Divas/Total Bellas.

It's been a whirlwind few years for the couple, but the landscape in wrestling is changing, so never say never.

#1. AJ Lee could join her husband CM Punk in AEW

CM Punk made his long-overdue return to wrestling with AEW last month, something that has led to many fans asking questions about his wife AJ Lee.

Lee retired from WWE back in 2015, and it was later revealed that whilst there were several reasons for her retirement, her neck injury was the main catalyst.

She hasn't stepped into a wrestling ring in almost seven years and CM Punk has already noted in several interviews that Lee won't be part of his come back.

“I just want to say, no. Just because [of] her neck. The reason she stopped wrestling is because of her neck. She’s got a bad neck, you know. I wouldn’t want her to jeopardize [her] health and neither would she, so we’ll put an end to that rumor right now,” Punk revealed.

That being said, wrestling is a place where things happen very quickly and anything could change. There was once a time when Daniel Bryan was told that he would never wrestle again.

AJ Lee is a former Divas Champion and was a sensational in-ring superstar, AEW's Women's Division could only benefit from her addition to the roster.
