WWE has created some interesting couples over the years

There are so many couples in WWE at present both on and off-screen that sometimes the lines can be blurred between what is kayfabe and what is a real relationship. Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch are in a relationship both on and off-screen, much like Candice LeRae and Johnny Gargano, but there are a number of couples who are pushed together and are forced to act as though they are in a relationship.

Lana and Rusev's relationship first began when the two stars were put together on NXT back in 2013, whilst Brie and Daniel Bryan and AJ Lee and CM Punk started their relationships after working together on Monday Night RAW.

That being said, there have been some interesting partnerships over the years, which have never had the fans questioning where the line between fact and fiction is.


#5. Kane and Lita

Kane first debuted as the demonic brother of The Undertaker back in 1997 but WWE was able to humanize his character throughout his time in the ring and back in 2004 Kane was made part of a storyline with former Women's Champion Lita.

The storyline turned into a love triangle between Lita, Matt Hardy, and Kane after she was kidnapped by The Big Red Machine and when she announced her pregnancy a few weeks later, Kane claimed that the child was his.

It was an interesting idea at the time, but the WWE Universe didn't believe the chemistry between Lita and Kane since both starts were so mismatched.

The storyline had quite the shocking ending involving Snitsky and after Kane and Lita exacted revenge on the star for causing her to miscarry, Lita went back to the Women's Division and seemingly forgot all about her fling with Kane.

#4. Tajiri and Torrie Wilson

Torrie Wilson began her career in WWE at the side of Tajiri, at the time Wilson was growing in popularity after making her way over to WWE from WCW and her romance with Tajiri and the storyline involving his jealousy helped to get Wilson over in her first year with the company.

Wilson and Stacy Keibler feuded throughout her time with Tajiri and after Wilson showed off her skills in a Lingerie match at No Mercy, Tajiri began getting jealous of the attention that Wilson was receiving from the male demographic within the company.

Wilson was forced to wear a geisha outfit by her on-screen partner in order to keep her from prying eyes, but after being mistreated by Tajiri on numerous occasions, the WWE Hall of Famer became tired of Tajiri's bullying and decided to disrobe on the announce table in front of the world and cost her boyfriend his match against The Hurricane.

This signaled the end of Wilson's partnership with Tajiri and the beginning of her face turn.

#3. Vickie Guerrero and The Big Show

Vickie Guerrero was seen as an authority figure in WWE throughout her tenure, but the widow of WWE Hall of Famer Eddie Guerrero will probably be best remembered for her on-screen relationships.

Vickie started out in a storyline with Edge back in 2008 which led to The Rated R Superstar proposing and the couple then planning a wedding throughout their angle. It was as part of this storyline that it was revealed that Vickie Guerrero was having a secret affair with The Big Show.

John Cena showed some shocking footage of The Big Show and Guerrero kissing backstage, despite the fact that Guerrero was married to Edge. The story between the two stars ended in divorce when Edge revealed that he was only using Vickie because she had power in the company.

Vickie later went on to a relationship with Dolph Ziggler who she managed for a number of years before he moved on to AJ Lee on an episode of RAW and Guerrero later opted to leave the company.

#2. Mae Young and Mark Henry

Perhaps one of the most disturbing storylines that WWE has ever created revolved around a relationship was between Mae Young and "Sexual Chocolate" Mark Henry.

The storyline ran throughout 1999 and 2000 and saw the couple spark up a relationship which then led to Mae Young at 77 years old announcing that she was pregnant. Of course, attacks at the hands of The Dudley Boyz didn't help the pregnancy to go smoothly and a powerbomb off the stage could have had some disastrous consequences.

Mae Young shockingly went on to deliver her child live on WWE TV and it was revealed that whatever the star was carrying at the time was nothing more than a rubber glove/hand. It was a shocking end to what had been a disturbing story and one that now WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry rarely talks about.

This whole storyline proves just how different WWE was two decades ago and how far the company has been able to come when it relates to on-screen relationships.

#1. Otis and Mandy Rose

The most recent of all of the relationships on this list sees Heavy Machinery's Otis looking to push towards a relationship with Mandy Rose. Corey Graves has noted numerous times that Rose is out of Otis's league, which is why many of the WWE Universe continues to root for Otis in the hopes that he can prove that beauty isn't only skin deep.

This past week on SmackDown the couple were prepared to go on their first date, which just so happened to be on Valentine's Day. Dolph Ziggler crashed the party and left Otis visibly heartbroken, which will only lead to a further twist in this tale.

Interestingly, Mandy Rose has been pushing this relationship forward herself, it's Dolph Ziggler who has been trying to get in the way of their blossoming romance because he believes that he should be the one dating Rose.

This storyline is far from over on SmackDown and the WWE Universe continues to push for Otis and Gods Greatest Creation to make it past Ziggler's intrusion.
