3 WWE Couples who work together on TV and 3 who are split

The recent WWE releases have meant that many couples who were once together on Raw or SmackDown are now no longer part of the company.

Lana and Rusev, Zelina Vega and Aleister Black, Maria, Mike Kanellis, and even Chelsea Green and Zack Ryder have all been released by the company in recent years.

There are still many couples in WWE despite all of the budget cuts, but there are only a few who have the opportunity to work together as part of a storyline on WWE TV since there are many others who have been split across brands.

The following article looks at just three WWE couples who are currently performing on the same brand and three who have been split.

#6. Work together on WWE TV: Bianca Belair and Montez Ford

Bianca Belair was promoted to WWE's main roster as part of last year's WrestleMania and has since been working alongside her husband Montez Ford. The couple have been able to work together as part of several feuds on SmackDown over the past year and Ford has even been on the sidelines for Belair's recent success and push towards the Women's Championship.

WWE has made it clear that the duo are married outside of the company since Ford and Belair actually met at WWE's Performance Center. The couple went on to marry whilst working together in NXT back in June 2018, which made Belair the stepmother of Montez's two young children.

#5. Split on WWE TV: Carmella and Corey Graves

Following the WWE Draft back in October, Carmella and Corey Graves were both on SmackDown, which meant they were able to work together regularly and hang out backstage.

This all changed earlier this year when WWE decided to shuffle their announce teams following WrestleMania and Corey Graves was moved over to Monday Night RAW.

In his absence, Carmella has remained on SmackDown and recently unveiled her new "Most Beautiful Woman in All of WWE" character, which has started out well for the former Women's Champion.

Carmella and Corey Graves have been dating since 2019 and have appeared as regular cast members on E! Network show Total Divas in recent years.

#4. Work together on WWE TV: Johnny Gargano and Candice LeRae

Johnny Gargano and Candice LeRae have been one of the power couples of WWE's NXT brand for several years. The duo first came together when Gargano was feuding with Andrade and Zelina Vega and LeRae was able to make her debut for NXT when she saved her husband from an assault at the hands of Vega.

The couple married back in 2016, almost two years before LeRae was able to join her husband in WWE.

In recent years the couple has turned heel and become the leaders of "The Way" which is their new stable in NXT. Indi Hartwell and Austin Theory make up the rest of the group.

Candice LeRae and Indi Hartwell recently lifted the NXT Women's Tag Team Championships after defeating Ember Moon and Shotzi Blackheart.

Gargano and LeRae have remained in NXT together throughout the latter's entire WWE career. Gargano was promoted to the main roster alongside DIY teammate Tommaso Ciampa back in 2019. Following an injury to Ciampa, Gargano was moved back to NXT where he has since remained.

#3. Split on WWE TV: Keith Lee and Mia Yim

Keith Lee and Mia Yim both started their WWE careers in NXT and have since been promoted to the main roster.

During their time in NXT, Yim and Lee were able to team together on numerous occasions and even called their team "Yimitless."

Lee has since been promoted to Monday Night RAW, the former NXT Champion was part of some main event-level feuds before being taken off TV and replaced in his United States Championship match at Elimination Chamber earlier this year.

Yim followed her future husband to the red brand last year when she was promoted as part of RETRIBUTION under the name Reckoning.

After several months of wreaking havoc on RAW, RETRIBUTION imploded and the members of the group have since been split across WWE brands. Mia Yim and Slapjack have been moved over to SmackDown whilst T-Bar and Mace remain on RAW.

Despite recent rumors, Yim is still yet to make her debut on SmackDown whilst Lee remains a notable absentee over on RAW.

#2. Work together on WWE TV: Karrion Kross and Scarlett Bordeaux

Karrion Kross and Scarlett Bordeaux have only been part of WWE for around a year after the couple made their debut on NXT in May 2020.

Kross signed with WWE in early 2020 whilst his real-life girlfriend Scarlett had been signed with the company since November 2019. The couple were then paired together when Kross made his debut on NXT TV a few months later.

Karrion and Scarlett have since dominated NXT together and have already been able to capture the NXT Championship on two occasions. Whilst Bordeaux has become known as a female wrestler in her own right throughout her career, the former IMPACT Wrestling star is now purely seen as Kross's manager in NXT.

Together, the couple have one of the best entrances on WWE TV and Scarlett has become an important part of Karrion's success in the company.

The couple have been dating for several years now and their chemistry is apparent whilst working together both inside and outside the ring.

#1. Split on WWE TV: Jimmy Uso and Naomi

There was a time when Jimmy Uso and Naomi worked closely together on WWE TV, but now the couple are on separate brands.

As part of the WWE Draft back in October, Naomi was drafted over to Monday Night RAW, whilst her husband remained undrafted whilst recovering from an ACL injury.

In the months that have followed, Jimmy Uso has made his return to WWE TV and been inserted into the storyline between his brother and Roman Reigns on SmackDown.

Naomi was part of a tag team with Lana that was pushing for the Women's Tag Team Championships earlier this year, but Lana was recently released from WWE.

Jimmy and Naomi married in June 2014 and their marriage was made part of an episode of Total Divas the same year. The couple have since worked together numerous times but it appears the company had bigger plans for Naomi when she was drafted over to Monday Night RAW.

Perhaps Naomi will be drafted over to SmackDown to join her husband as part of the upcoming draft, whilst Carmella could then replace her on RAW to work alongside her partner Corey Graves.
