The WWE world has been dominated by couples in recent years. The rise of "Total Bellas" and "Total Divas" has given many of them the confidence to reveal their relationships publicly.
The fact that almost every WWE superstar also has a social media presence means that fans are also updated on their personal lives regularly. As a result, many stars find it hard to hide their new relationships.
Even though 2020 has been a year to forget for most of the world, there are several WWE stars who have been able to find their own happiness throughout the year. Here are just a handful of couples who have announced their engagement or revealed new relationships over the past 12 months.
#8. and #7. Engaged in 2020 - WWE stars Leon Ruff and Aja Smith
Leon Ruff has had a fantastic last few months. He dethroned Johnny Gargano a few weeks ago on NXT. The North American Champion became a success story in NXT, but last night he lost the championship back to Gargano during NXT TakeOver: War Games.
It has become well-known in recent months that Ruff is in a relationship with main roster referee Aja Smith. She was also part of last night's show, as she was seen refereeing the brutal WarGames matches.
After Ruff officially signed a contract with WWE back in October and won his first WWE Championship merely weeks later, Ruff obviously decided to make this year even more memorable. He took his relationship with Smith to the next level at the beginning of the month.
Aja Smith announced her engagement on her Twitter account with a sweet post of her new ring. In the post, she declared that she had "said yes," which marked quite the incredible year for the couple.
#6. and #5. Engaged in 2020 - WWE stars Charlotte Flair and Andrade
Charlotte Flair and Andrade have become one of WWE's power couples since the duo announced that they were in a relationship back in 2019. Flair has already been married and divorced twice. It appears as though she has finally found her perfect match in Andrade. At the beginning of the year, the duo took to Instagram to inform their loyal followers that they were now engaged.
When the two stars went on their first date on New Year's Eve a few years ago, the former WWE Women's Champion couldn't understand Andrade. But now the couple is set to marry in the near future.
Andrade has also grown close to Charlotte's father, Ric Flair. This relationship has surely helped the couple because "The Nature Boy" is an important part of Charlotte's life.
At present, both Andrade and Charlotte are away from WWE TV. Though the end of 2020 hasn't been memorable for the two stars as wrestlers, 2021 could mark their comebacks.
#4 and #3. Revealed a new relationship - WWE stars Vic Joseph and McKenzie Mitchell
McKenzie Mitchell has become the latest addition to NXT's backstage announce team over the past few months. She even appeared as part of last night's NXT TakeOver: WarGames show.
Mitchell is also an on-air talent as part of WWE's The Bump and the host of WWE Now. But on a personal note, she took to Instagram to mark this year's Thanksgiving with some fantastic news.
The NXT correspondent revealed that she was in a relationship with fellow WWE star Vic Joseph. He appears on both NXT and 205 Live as a commentator. Joseph also had a short stint on the main roster last year. He briefly served as the play-by-play commentator on WWE RAW. Joseph has since found a home on both NXT and 205 Live alongside Wade Barrett and Beth Phoenix.
Mitchell had already shared several updates with Joseph over the past few weeks. But it wasn't until Thanksgiving that she finally revealed that the couple was now in a relationship with the caption "My Turkey."
#2. Engaged in 2020 - WWE star Alexa Bliss
Alexa Bliss has had a fantastic year. The former Women's Champion has finally been able to put her love of horror films to good use in a WWE ring after she aligned with The Fiend.
Bliss has become The Fiend's new sidekick in recent months. She has been praised by many fans around the world for her fantastic acting skills. Bliss has completely redeveloped her character with this role. She is currently one of the most entertaining stars in the entire company.
Bliss' year got much more exciting last month when both the former WWE Women's' Champion and Ryan Cabrera announced on Instagram that they were engaged. The couple had only been in a relationship for a year when Cabrera popped the question on their one-year anniversary, and Bliss accepted.
"Little Miss Bliss" has been engaged in the past to fellow WWE star Murphy. The couple announced their engagement on Instagram back in 2017 following Bliss' promotion to the main roster. But they went their separate ways about a year later.
#1. Revealed a new relationship - WWE star Dana Brooke
Former NXT star Dana Brooke has had her own fair share of relationships since her WWE debut. She has been involved with Dolph Ziggler and former WWE star Batista. Brooke was also in a relationship with fellow bodybuilder Dallas McCarver until his untimely passing back in August 2017.
Brooke has had an interesting 2020 in the WWE. She has been drafted over to Monday Night RAW, and she seems to finally be the subject of a push. As for her personal life, Brooke has also revealed that she is now in a relationship with boxer and MMA fighter Ulysses Diaz.
Back in January 2020, Dana Brooke was believed to be on a date with Diaz. Over the past year, the couple has finally made their relationship public. In an interview with Fightful, Brooke has also revealed how her new boyfriend has a ring set up in his back garden, which helps her WWE career.
"So, [Ulysses Diaz] has a ring set-up back in his backyard. Definitely gonna try to do some training, like I mentioned before, a lot of agility work. I don’t know if there’s an abandoned building or somewhere I can run steps, trying to race to the top. It’s gonna be a lot of street fighting too, you know? ‘Cause we’re gonna have to beat people off while on a chase."
Brooke and Diaz have made several public appearances over the past few months. The former NXT star has also been seen cheering on her partner at recent fighting events.
