It may only be the fifth month in 2020 and WWE shows have been pre-recorded at the Performance Center over the past few weeks, but storylines have still been consistent.
Interestingly, relationship storylines have played a huge role in the company's current stories with many female wrestlers being put into feuds with male stars. It appears that both SmackDown and RAW have decided to push more adult-friendly entertainment for the first time in years since the company has avoided relationship storylines throughout the Women's Evolution.
On-screen couples have to be able to convey chemistry, and somehow the five couples that WWE has already created in the past five months have been able to prove that they have the chemistry, even though only one of the couples is in a real-life relationship.
#5. Lana and Bobby Lashley
Lana and Bobby Lashley were technically already a couple on WWE TV at the turn of the year, but the duo was only able to make their marriage official in 2020 when they walked down the aisle on Monday Night RAW.
WWE weddings rarely go to plan and whilst the couple had an entertaining union in the first few weeks of the year, they have still been able to remain together over the past five months.
Lashley has teased that he could be looking to part ways with his wife on several occasions, but that angle could now have been scrapped with the duo looking solid on the last few episodes of RAW. Lana's real-life husband Rusev was released from the company last month, which means that the storyline with Lashley and Lana can now move forward without him.

#4. Mandy Rose and Dolph Ziggler
Mandy Rose has been at the forefront of the biggest relationship storyline on SmackDown over the past few months, which began with a relationship with Dolph Ziggler.
Initially Rose had agreed to go on a date on Valentine's Day with Otis from Heavy Machinery. But, when her partner Sonya Deville stepped in and forced Otis to be late for his date, Ziggler was able to swoop in and the two stars then had a believable relationship on SmackDown.
In the weeks that followed, Otis was obviously angry with Rose because he believed that he had been played. But, this wasn't the case since the SmackDown Hacker revealed the truth ahead of WrestleMania.
Rose wasn't happy with Deville or Ziggler following the revelation that the two had worked together to ruin her date with Otis. At WrestleMania, as part of the match between Ziggler and Otis, she ended their relationship.
Ziggler has tried in recent weeks to ask Rose to take him back, but it doesn't appear that God's Greatest Creation is ready to listen.
#3. Lana and Liv Morgan
Lana married Bobby Lashley earlier this year, but as already noted, the ceremony didn't exactly go according to plan.
Whilst many fans expected Rusev to try to crash the wedding, what wasn't expected was former Riott Squad member Liv Morgan making her RAW debut as a singles star as part of the event.
Morgan made the announcement that sent shockwaves through WWE when she stated that she and Lana were in a relationship and that she had cheated on her with Bobby Lashley.
Lana was obviously unhappy to have her personal life made public knowledge so she slapped the taste out of Morgan's mouth and later stepped into a feud with the former NXT star.
This wasn't a lengthy feud and came to an end when Liv Morgan's former teammate Ruby Riott made her return to RAW earlier this year and stepped into a feud with Liv.
Interestingly, there hasn't been any mention of the relationship between the two women over the past few weeks and it's believed that the company has made the decision to drop the whole angle.
#2. Bianca Belair and Montez Ford
Many members of the WWE Universe have been waiting for Bianca Belair to be moved up to the main roster for years since the EST of NXT is widely considered to be one of the greatest female athletes in the company at present.
Belair finally made her main roster debut back at WrestleMania when she was able to step up and help her real-life husband Montez Ford when he was being attacked by Zelina Vega following his match with her stable.
Ford then announced the following night that she was the EST of WWE and was sticking around on the main roster so that she could help her husband. In the weeks that have followed, Ford has taken a backseat as he has proved just how supportive he is of his wife when she wrestled on RAW.
At present, it's unknown what the future holds for Ford and Belair together, but it is a surprise that Belair wasn't even offered a qualifying match for the Women's Money in the Bank ladder match.
#1. Otis and Mandy Rose
Otis and Mandy Rose have been one of the cutest couples in WWE ever since they finally came together back at WrestleMania.
Otis has been pining for Rose ever since the couple first met back in NXT and anyone who has visited his Instagram page will see just how long Otis has been waiting for this relationship.
Finally, Otis upped the courage to ask Mandy on a date and it landed on Valentine's Day, but as noted a few slides earlier, this didn't go to plan.
It was only when the SmackDown Hacker stepped in and made the truth known. This split up the team of Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville and also meant that Dolph Ziggler and Rose broke up as a couple and Otis and Mandy finally came together.
Rose and Otis have become one of the most popular couples in WWE in recent weeks and Rose has even been able to reveal how close the couple is off-screen, which has created their chemistry on-screen.
“Ever since we met in NXT, we’d always joke around together,” says Saccomanno. “He’d call me ‘Mandy Candy’ and cut different promos, and it was really cute. He’s just so charismatic, even when he’s not on camera. He makes us laugh the same amount when he’s off-camera. He’s funny and super sweet, and he’s so kind, which is one of the best qualities, " - via Sports Illustrated.
