#4. AEW's Malakai Black and WWE's Zelina Vega are married

AEW's Malakai Black fka Aleister Black and WWE's Zelina Vega are married in real life. The pair tied the knot in 2018.

Malakai Black was a massive star in NXT as Aleister Black, winning the NXT Championship once. His main roster run left a lot to be desired, and he was subsequently released from WWE. Zelina Vega was released from WWE in November 2020 but returned eight months later, when Malakai Black debuted in AEW.

Malakai Black is currently one of the most intriguing stars in AEW and has an unbeaten record so far, defeating Cody Rhodes twice. Zelina has endured a frustrating return to WWE. She picked up a win over Toni Storm to advance to the next stage of the Queen's Crown Tournament.
