5 most bizarre couples WWE has paired up

#4 Carmella and R-Truth were loved by the WWE Universe

Almost a bit similar to The Glamarella pairing, the duo of Carmella and R-Truth established quite the friendship with each other, the one that also saw The Princess of Staten Island turn face for the first time since 2016. In doing so, Carmella also became R-Truth's manager and the duo was announced as an entrant for the WWE Mixed Match Challenge.

Eventually calling themselves The Fabulous Truth, Carmella and R-Truth had a poor start to the Mixed Match Challenge, as they started-off by losing their first three matches. The duo, however, managed to record a huge comeback, defeating the likes of Rusev & Lana, Jeff Hardy & Charlotte Flair, and the pairing of The Miz & Asuka in the semi-finals.

In the finals, Carmella and Truth beat the pairing of Jinder Mahal and Alicia Fox to not only win the Mixed Match Challenge but also earn the No.30 spot in their respective Royal Rumble Matches in 2019.

That being said, the pairing of Carmella and R-Truth was mostly known for their hilarious antics, with the former helping Truth retain the 24/7 Championship week in and week out from his foe. And that is what made them one of the most popular pairings in recent WWE history.
