The wrestling world is now full of couples thanks to shows like Total Divas and Total Bellas, it means that many of these couples have been given a spotlight and the number of current public relationships in just WWE has skyrocketed over the past decade.

Even though many of these couples have been made in WWE like Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella, Aleister Black and Zelina Vega, Andrade and Charlotte Flair and even Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins, several relationships began outside of the company and which means that before they came to WWE they were able to face off in the ring one-on-one. You find that later in this article there was one couple who was able to face off in a WWE ring.

There's nothing like being able to face off against your partner and deciding who's wrestling skill is more superior and it appears that there are a number of couples who have been able to test out this theory at some point during their relationship.

The most recent of the match-up's on this list has to be included on a technicality, whilst Mike is small enough to get away with wrestling his wife, it wasn't something that WWE ever put forward and instead, they allowed Maria to pin her husband when he laid down for her and she took the 24/7 Championship. But then, just a few days later when she headed to the hospital to have a checkup on their unborn child, Kanellis pinned his wife whilst she was in the doctor's chair.

Interestingly, this still co a match since the Championship changed hands and the 24/7 title is always active, which means that currently, the tally between the two stars is even.unts as

Johnny Gargano is affectionately known as Johnny Wrestling down in NXT, whilst his wife Candice LeRae has seen by his side in an NXT ring a number of times. Before LeRae debuted by her husband's side in WWE, she was well-known on the Independent Circuit as a woman who would take on the challenge of men.

As a long time tag team partner of Joey Ryan, LeRae would take on all comers in Intergender matches and many fans believe that this was one of the reasons why WWE didn't come knocking sooner.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Gargano and LeRae have faced off in a wrestling ring a number of times and easily proved that both stars have the skills and ability to defeat the other at any given moment.

The video below was taken from Absolute Intense Wrestling and on this occasion, LeRae was able to come out on top when she reversed her future husband's finisher into a shock rollup.

Triple H and Stephanie McMahon have to be the best-known couple in WWE history after they started their relationship after a storyline that took place on WWE TV.

The two stars married back in 2003 and have since welcomed three daughters, but it's the beginning of their relationship that's important in this article since it was when Triple H and Stephanie McMahon were able to face off in a WWE ring, the only time a current couple has been able to do this on WWE TV.

On an episode of Raw back in 2002, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon were able to face off, but it was in a triple threat match that also included Chris Jericho.

Throughout the match, Stephanie seemed to be working with Chris Jericho until he turned on her and it became every person for themselves, Triple H even lined Steph up for a pedigree at one point, but Jericho saved her.

In the end, Stephanie tried to break up the pin but it backfired on her when Triple H hit a spine buster to pin his future wife. The couple has since tagged together a number of times, most recently at WrestleMania 34 against Ronda Rousey and Kurt Angle.

#3. Sarath Ton and Sasha Banks

Sasha Banks is one of the most popular female wrestlers in WWE's current Women's Division, but before she made her way to WWE through their NXT set up, Banks was able to make a name for herself on the Independent Circuit, where she met her future husband.

Whilst Banks was working on the Indy's her husband was known as Mikaze and he would make all of his future wife's ring attire. This wasn't all since the couple also decided to test their metal at one point and face off.

This wasn't a one-on-one match like many of the matches on this list, instead, it was a four-way that saw Banks up against her husband and two other stars called Brian Fury and Nick Fahrenheit.

Banks and her future husband collided a number of times in the match but in the end and interestingly, it was Mikaze that pinned Banks and eliminated her from the match with a hurricane kick. The couple married in 2016 and Mikaze now works as WWE's backstage seamstress under his real name Sarath Ton.

#2. John Morrison and Taya Valkyrie

John Morrison recently made his return to WWE after more than eight years to re-align himself with The Miz and earn himself a Tag Team Championship match in Saudi Arabia against The New Day.

When Morrison was last seen in WWE, he was in a relationship with former WWE star Melina, the couple separated in 2015 and now Morrison is married to Impact star Taya Valkyrie.

The couple met as part of the wrestling business and have performed together in both Impact and Lucha Underground, whilst Valkyrie isn't currently part of WWE with her partner, it's only a matter of time before she opts to jump ship as well, even though it's reported that Valkyrie signed a two year deal with the company back in 2019.

Much like Mike and Maria Kanellis, John Morrison took advantage of the fact that his girlfriend was the 24/7 Championship holder back in 2016 when the couple were in Lucha Underground and he pinned Taya in her own dressing room to become the new DDT Pro Wrestling Ironman HeavyMetalweight Champion.

This isn't the only time the couple has faced off, since Morrison revealed to Sportskeeda's Daniel Wood that Valkyrie had beaten him in the past when the couple took part in the first ever husband vs wife match.

#1. Keith Lee and Mia Yim

Keith Lee is currently being Limitless on NXT as the North American Champion, whilst Mia Yim is tearing up the NXT Women's Division.

It was only recently that WWE allowed the couple to show that they were in a relationship on WWE TV, when Keith Lee checked on his girlfriend following her ladder match on NXT ahead of War Games.

Lee and Yim have been in a relationship for a number of years, long before the couple became one of NXT's cutest couples, which means that in the past they have also been able to face off.

It was Keith Lee's last match at Beyond Wrestling and it appears that he chose to leave the company with a match against his girlfriend. Lee's power advantage is made apparent throughout the match and it appears that despite this, he's still able to give his girlfriend some offense even though for the most part it is reversed.
