Over the years of WWE history, there have been plenty of couples.

Though some were just for entertainment whilst others were from real life partnerships, these couples all shared the common goal of being successful inside the squared circle. Though many couples would only do so much together, there have been a select few that have risen to the top of their respective divisions thanks to their partner.

Here are the five most successful power couples in WWE history who proved that love conquers all.


#5: The Miz and Maryse

The It Couple have done plenty as individuals and together in WWE, including their own reality show.

Individually, The Miz and Maryse have had a lot of success.

In the latest WWE NEWS, The Miz is a Grand Slam winner and former WWE Champion, main eventing WrestleMania 27 in 2011.

Maryse, a former two-time WWE Divas Champion only recently returned to WWE in 2016, but did so in a major way, helping her real-life husband win the Intercontinental title on the RAW after Mania 32.

Since then, the pair have had great success on WWE TV as a couple, with Maryse often being the difference maker in many Miz matches.

Though they may have come up short at WrestleMania 33 against John Cena and Nikki Bella, the duo has bounced back nicely, getting their own reality show, Miz and Mrs, which was recently renewed for its second season.

Recently turning face, the duo have been embraced by the WWE Universe, as their show has allowed fans a personal glimpse into their lives, and get to see a new, friendlier side to both stars.

With a hit reality show and a second baby on the way, life is good for the A-listers.

#4: Edge and Vickie Guerrero

With Guerrero as SmackDown General Manager, Edge rose to the top, becoming World Heavyweight Champion in the process.

For years Edge was referred to as the Ultimate Opportunist, so when the Canadian saw the opportunity to boost his career with a relationship, he didn't hesitate.

Forming a relationship with SmackDown Live General Manager in 2007, Edge quickly found himself granted favour after favour until he became World Heavyweight Champion.

As if having the GM in his pocket and the World title wasn't enough, Edge would follow up by employing a small army to protect him, including Chavo Guerrero, Curt Hawkins, Zack Ryder and Bam Neely.

Unfortunately for Edge, his confidence would be his undoing, as he would eventually try and lock Vickie's power as GM forever by marrying her. Everything was going well until Triple H (a man used to WWE weddings) showed up.

Revealing video footage of Edge making out with the wedding planner (the on-screen debut of Alicia Fox), the wedding would end in tragedy and the Canadian would suffer a lot of hurt by his scorned wife.

This won't be the only appearance of the Rated-R Superstar on this list though, which brings us to...

#3: Edge and Lita

Edge and Lita ruled RAW as both the WWE and Women's Champion.

When news of Edge and Lita's relationship was made public in 2005, fans were shocked.

For years, Lita had been in a relationship with Matt Hardy, and the fallout from all of this led to an ugly war between Hardy and his former friend.

After the Mattitude Follower was sent packing to SmackDown, Edge and Lita shot to the top of Monday Night RAW, with the Rated-R Superstar capturing his first of eleven World titles with Lita by his side in January 2006.

The pair would remain together on-screen until Lita's retirement at Survivor Series that same year, and due to their epic careers, both have become Hall of Famers. Though he is no longer with Lita, Edge is now in a real-life power couple, marrying fellow WWE Hall of Famer Beth Phoenix in 2016.

#2: Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch

The Man helped even the odds at Stomping Grounds when Rollins took on Baron Corbin with Lacey Evans as guest referee.

The most recent addition to this list, Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch are riding high in WWE in 2019.

On the one hand, we have Rollins. The reigning Universal Champion, who toppled the Beast Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania to win the gold, and is also a Grand Slam, Money in the Bank and Royal Rumble winner.

On the other hand, there's Becky Lynch, the reigning RAW Women's Champion who won the first Women's main event in WrestleMania history to win the title and has become arguably the most popular women's wrestler in recent history.

Appearing together earlier this week at Stomping Grounds, the pair have been officially public with their relationship for a while now, and it'll be interesting to see what the future holds for the duo, both in and out of the ring.

#1: Triple H and Stephanie McMahon

The Game and Stephanie ruled over the entirety of the WWF in 2000.

Honestly, who else could it be?

When Triple H and Stephanie McMahon became a power couple on WWE TV, everything changed.

Uniting to demolish Stephanie's father Vince, the duo would rule the World Wrestling Federation with an iron fist in 2000, with the Game and Stephanie holding both the WWF and Women's titles by WrestleMania.

Off-screen, the two continued to date, and married in late 2003.

Together over 15 years later, the pair have traded their on-screen roles for work backstage, with McMahon working as the company's Chief Brand Officer, and the King of Kings as the Chief Operating Officer.

Whether portraying villains on screen to go against the likes of Cactus Jack or The Rock, or running WWE today behind the scenes, The Game and Stephanie define the term 'power couple'.
