#3 and #2 Married recently - WWE Superstars Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch

The most recent addition to the list of married WWE Superstars are Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch. Two of the biggest stars on the current roster, Rollins and Lynch started dating in early 2019. The two also won the 2019 men's and women's Royal Rumble matches respectively.

After a lot of speculation, Rollins finally made their relationship public with a social media post of the two kissing backstage in WWE. In August 2019, the two announced their engagement.

Last year, on the RAW after Money in the Bank 2020, Lynch announced her pregnancy. She has since been away from WWE television and gave birth to her and Rollins' first child in December 2020, a daughter named Roux. Yesterday, Seth Rollins revealed on his Instagram story that he is getting married to Becky Lynch. WWE confirmed the same with the following statement:

Rollins and Lynch are one of the biggest "power couples" in pro-wrestling currently. With WWE set to return to live touring soon, the return of the former RAW and SmackDown Women's Champion Becky Lynch is sure to happen sooner rather than later.

#2 Planning to marry soon - WWE Superstar Charlotte Flair

12-time women's champion in WWE Charlotte Flair is arguably the most accomplished female superstar in the company's history. Apart from her in-ring achievements, she is also famously in a relationship with former WWE Superstar Andrade.

The couple got engaged on January 1, 2020. During a recent media call, Andrade revealed that he and Charlotte Flair were set to get married in October 2020 but they had to postpone their plans. During an appearance on the Bellas Podcast last year, Flair spoke about postponing her wedding plans due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

"With COVID it's hard to know where the world will be in six months especially because we want everything to be in Mexico. I don't know when the best time is because we want everyone to be able to travel," said Charlotte Flair.

Andrade, a former NXT Champion and United States Champion, left WWE earlier this year and has joined All Elite Wrestling. From the looks of it, he is set to be a major star for Tony Khan's promotion. Recently, Charlotte Flair and Andrade posted a picture on their social media, wearing WWE and AEW caps respectively, that got the fans talking.

#1 Married recently - WWE Superstar John Cena

16-time world champion John Cena is one of the most popular WWE Superstars of all time. While The Leader of Cenation has been away from WWE television for over a year now, he continues to be in news for various reasons.

In October 2020, John Cena married his girlfriend Shay Shariatzadeh in a private ceremony in Tampa, Florida. It was in March 2019 when images of Cena and Shariatzadeh holding hands and kissing went viral on the internet, linking the two up as a couple.

Shay Shariatzadeh is an engineer by profession, having earned her bachelor's degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from the University of British Columbia.

The two reportedly met during the production of Cena's movie Playing with Fire. Speaking to Entertainment Tonight last year, he said:

"What's truly special about this one is that, no matter what projects I'm involved in in the future, this one will always have a special meaning because I got to film a special project and meet someone special," said John Cena.

John Cena is currently rumored to return to WWE later this year. The reported plans are for him to challenge Universal Champion Roman Reigns in the main event of WWE SummerSlam 2021. Cena last wrestled for the company at WrestleMania 36 in a Firefly Fun House match against "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt.

#1 Planning to marry soon - WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella

Former WWE Divas Champion Nikki Bella was in a relationship with WWE Superstar John Cena for many years. The latter famously proposed to her at WrestleMania 33 and the two got engaged. However, things didn't work out well between the couple and they separated in April 2018, just a month before their planned marriage.

Since January 2019, Nikki Bella has been dating Russian dancer Artem Chigvintsev. The two got engaged in January 2020 and later that month, Nikki announced her pregnancy. On July 31, 2020, she gave birth to their son, Matteo Artemovich Chigvintsev.

Last year, Nikki Bella spoke about her marriage plans being postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, stating that she wanted the world to be in a better place first.

“I want to make sure the world is in such a clear space. The day I get married, I just want a massive party. I want a bash. I want everything I’ve dreamed of,” said Nikki Bella.

Earlier this year, on the season six finale of Total Bellas, Nikki announced that she and Chigvintsev are getting married on Thanksgiving later this year.

"We have an announcement to make. We are going to be getting married the weekend of Thanksgiving 2021," said Nikki Bella.
