5 Real Life WWE Couples who were affected by Superstar Shakeup

The Superstar Shakeup took over WWE TV over the past few days as the Superstars of NXT, SmackDown Live, Monday Night Raw and 205 Live were up for grabs when it came to trading them to any of the main roster brands.

Of course, when the first WWE draft took place a few years ago, WWE noted that a number of married and real-life couples would be affected by the split but there wasn't a lot that the company could do about it since the storylines on SmackDown and Raw are more important to the WWE officials than real life drama.

This means that the shakeup that took place this week has affected a number of couples since men and women have made the move over to different brands over the past few days.

#5 Naomi and Jimmy Uso

Naomi and Jimmy Uso have both moved over to Raw

Jimmy Uso and Naomi have been on the SmackDown roster over the past few years together where they are former Tag Team Champions and SmackDown Women's Champion respectively.

It was decided Monday night on Raw that it was time for The Usos to take over the flagship show since their Tag Team Division was in dire need of some updating and The Viking Experience obviously joined them as part of the show.

Luckily, Naomi followed Jimmy Uso over to Raw to be part of the Women's Division where she teamed with Bayley in a match against The IIconics. Interestingly, Bayley later moved over to SmackDown Live, which leaves Naomi in limbo on Raw, but as a former Women's Champion, she should easily find her feet.

Jimmy and Naomi have been married ever since 2014 and have been part of Total Divas for most of that time, which could be why the company has allowed them to remain on the same brand.

#4 Zelina Vega and Aleister Black

Zelina Vega and Aleister Black are finally together on Raw

For the better part of their relationship, Aleister Black and Zelina Vega were on different brands as Vega led Andrade on SmackDown Live and Black battled it out as NXT Champion down in developmental.

It was revealed last year that the couple, who had kept most of their relationship private, had finally decided to marry. This later lead to Black being promoted to the main roster alongside Ricochet where he was able to work alongside his wife once more in at least one match against Andrade on the blue brand.

As part of the Superstar Shakeup, it was confirmed that Andrade would be drafted over to Monday Night Raw and obviously his business associate Zelina Vega would follow, before Black made it clear that the team of himself and Ricochet had chosen Monday Night Raw as their landing place.

#3 Sarah Logan and Raymond Rowe

Sarah Logan and Raymond Rowe are finally together on Raw

One of the biggest moves of the Superstar Shakeup saw The War Raiders make their way to the main roster under the new name, The Viking Experience. The duo are the current NXT Tag Team Champions, so it will be interesting with they return to NXT to defend the titles and are forced to use their old name.

Either way, Hanson and Rowe are now known as Ivor and Erik as this new gimmick and their promotion to Monday night Raw means that Rowe and his wife Sarah Logan are on the same brand for the first time since they both arrived in WWE.

Logan's longtime friend Liv Morgan was moved over to SmackDown Live, essentially splitting The Riott Squad, but now Logan is expected to join The Viking Experience after how much the commentary team has brought up her Viking background throughout her career.

#2 Alexa Bliss And Buddy Murphy

Buddy Murphy was sent to SmackDown Live

Whilst many of the couples on this list have been moved alongside their spouses, Alexa Bliss and Buddy Murphy were not given the same treatment. The two stars met and began dating during their time in NXT, which ended back in 2016 when Bliss was called up to the main roster without Murphy.

Murphy remained at NXT, managed to get himself into the best shape of his career and dominated 205 Live. But whilst Cedric Alexander was Monday Night Raw's pick from 205 Live, Buddy Murphy was chosen by SmackDown Live, which means for the third year in a row Bliss and Murphy will be forced to work on opposite brands.

Bliss' in-ring status is currently unknown since she competes one week and then returns to her talk show the next, but she was still able to congratulate her fiance on his move to SmackDown Live on Tuesday night.

Congrats @WWE_Murphy

#1 Charlotte and Andrade

Charlotte and Andrade have been sent to separate brands

Whilst Andrade's move over to Monday Night Raw meant that Zelina Vega was able to unite with her husband, it meant that Andrade and Charlotte Flair were split up for the first time as part of their relationship after both spending the past few months on SmackDown Live.

Andrade and Charlotte have made it clear that they are in a relationship after recently taking a vacation together before Andrade returned to Raw this week and Charlotte headed over to finish some business with Carmella on SmackDown Live.

There are many couples who have managed to overcome the distance between brands throughout their careers and hopefully Charlotte and Andrade can do the same. The women's Championships are seemingly being used over both brands moving forward now, so there's a chance that Charlotte will be on Raw again in the future.
