3 future husbands who defeated their wives and 2 future wives who defeated their husbands

In contrast to the real sports, intergender and mixed tag team wrestling are pretty common things in simulated combat. Women have no fear of being pitted against men as long as they feel comfortable.

Needless to say, in professional wrestling, you require a high level of understanding and coordination with your adversary to avoid any sort of injuries. However, these pairs of wrestlers not only had brilliant chemistry in the ring but also in their real life. Moreover, they even married each other later on.

Without any further ado, here are 3 future husbands who wrestled their wives, and 2 future wives who wrestled their husbands.

#5 Wife who defeated her husband: Candice LeRae

Candice LeRae got the better of Johnny Gargano at Absolute Intense Wrestling in an Intergender match

After transitioning into the PG era, WWE has refrained from being involved in one-on-one intergender matches to avoid complaints of domestic violence. The fans can only get a glimpse of it if James Ellsworth interferes and assists Carmella in a match.

However, the independent circuit isn't PG. Apart from the deathmatches, intergender wrestling is the most anticipated type of wrestling there, and Candice LeRae is no stranger to it. The former PWG World Tag Team Champion got the opportunity to face industry stalwarts like Adam Cole, Rich Swann, and her husband Johnny Gargano one-on-one.

Johnny Gargano got the upper hand in their earlier encounter at PWG BOLA 2014 quarterfinals. The former NXT Tag Team Champion seemed overconfident and allowed her to get some offense early on the game.

Candice took the opportunity and delivered a Canadian Destroyer off the top rope and Gargano Escape to him in the early minutes. After some back and forth action, Candice walked away with the victory courtesy of a fruit roll-up.

#4 Wife who defeated her husband: Natalya

Natalya, The Great Khali, and Mark Henry overcame Melina, Tyson Kidd, and William Regal in 2011

The Hart Dynasty split in late 2010, which led to Tyson Kidd and Natalya embarking on separate paths. They wouldn't bump into each other until the 7th March taping of WWE Superstars where they were on the opposite ends of a 6-Person Mixed Tag Team Match.

The Divas started the match, but Tyson Kidd tagged himself in within a few minutes. However, it proved costly for him as the Great Khali delivered a Punjabi Plunge to pick up the victory with William Regal and Melina looking on.

After the match, Tyson Kidd ate a World's Strongest Splash, a sharpshooter from his future wife Natalya, Regal stretch from the NXT General Manager, and a slap from Melina.

Natalya had known the former WWE Tag Team Champion since the age of 12 and began dating him in November 2001. They finally tied the knot in 2013, two years after she locked the Sharpshooter on him.

#3 Husband who defeated his wife: Joey Ryan

Joey Ryan wrestled girlfriend and proposed her at the same night

Joey Ryan's gimmick is, inarguably the sleaziest of the lot in professional wrestling. How can you explain to someone who doesn't watch pro-wrestling that moves like Youp*rnplex and b**bplex exist in his arsenal?

Joey Ryan showed his true colors when he tried to kiss Laura in the opening minutes of the match. Laura took advantage of his overconfidence and tried to wrap the match up with roll-ups.

After a bridged suplex and a superplex off the top rope from Laura, Joey retaliated with his b**bplex. Laura lodged a comeback by putting a lollypop, taken out from his tights, in his own mouth, and a female version of d*ck flip but to no avail.

After shoving Laura into the official and momentarily taking him out, Joey Ryan sat on one knee and proposed to her in the middle of a ring! She said yes, but it proved to be costly as Joey reversed a hug into a pin and picked up the win.

#2 Husband who defeated his wife: Edge

Edge won the 2010 Royal Rumble where Beth Phoenix was an entrant

Unlike the previous couples and the couple succeeding it, Edge and Beth Phoenix didn't have an altercation with each other when they battled it out at the 2010 Royal Rumble.

After the Great Khali took out CM Punk momentarily with his Vice Grip, he went face to face with Beth Phoenix. The Punjabi Playboy tried to show his gentlemen side when he requested the Glamazon to eliminate herself rather than throwing her over the top rope.

However, Beth Phoenix had known the Giant's weak point and began kissing him on the lips whilst being at the edge of the squared circle. The Great Khali lost his senses and got himself eliminated. It looked as if CM Punk would follow the suit when Beth put him on a fireman's carry position, but the Straight Edge Warrior reversed it into a GTS and eliminated her.

Edge entered the match with a thunderous ovation as the 29th entrant and took out Chris Jericho, Shawn Michaels and John Cena with back-to-back spears.

After throwing Y2J and Cena off the top rope, the Rated R Superstar won the 2010 Royal Rumble and challenged Chris Jericho for a World Heavyweight Championship match at WrestleMania 26.

#1 Husband who defeated his wife: Triple H

Triple H defeated Stephanie McMahon and Chris Jericho on Raw just a year before they got married

If harassing employees by abusing your power is an art, then Triple H and Stephanie McMahon are the Picasso of it. However, long before they made their employees' lives a living hell, the power couple squared off amongst themselves and Chris Jericho for the Undisputed WWE Championship.

After learning that Stephanie had faked her pregnancy to get back with him, Triple H dumped her on the episode of Raw where they were supposed to renew their wedding vows.

Stephanie aligned herself with his adversary Chris Jericho and a match was set up between the trio with Triple H's title on the line.

It looked as if Jericho would walk away with the title early on in the contest when Stephanie allowed him to pin her, however, Triple H broke the count. Stephanie turned her back on Chris Jericho when she covered him after the latter missed a Lionsault on Triple H.

Jericho would become infuriated with it and lock her in the Walls of Jericho only for Triple H to make the save. After some back and forth action, it was Triple H who got the upper hand when he hit Stephanie with a Spinebuster and pinned her for the victory.
