The world of professional wrestling is one where reality and fiction mix in well together. Many times, what the WWE Universe sees on the screen is a variation of real-life.

In WWE and other wrestling companies, over the years, we have seen a variety of pairings made on-screen where two people were supposedly in a relationship with each other. Very often, some of these couples were actually in a relationship in real life as well.

With that being said, in this article, we are going to take a look at 5 on-screen couples who happen to be in a relationship in real life as well.

Without any further ado, let's get into it.


#5 Triple H and Stephanie McMahon

Triple H and Stephanie McMahon are among the best-known couples in WWE. They have been together for years and have been in a romantic relationship, both on-screen and off-screen, since the Attitude Era.

Their relationship on-screen might not have started off in the best way, with Triple H apparently marrying Stephanie after drugging her and taking her to a drive-through chapel in Las Vegas, but it would not be long before they started to date in real-life and actually got serious about a prospective relationship.

The two started to date and got married in 2003. They are the current power couple in WWE and as such have had several storylines together in front of the WWE Universe. Over the years their bond has seemingly gotten only stronger and stronger, and it is expected that when Vince McMahon is no longer able to continue to helm the ship of WWE, it is Triple H and Stephanie who will take over. Both have hugely active roles in WWE backstage, as they work on running the entire product together.

#4 Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch

Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch are two top WWE Superstars who shocked the WWE Universe when they revealed that they were actually in a relationship. The two came out as being a couple rather suddenly.

They were keeping their relationship quiet as members of the WWE roster, but when it was revealed and everyone came to know, they no longer kept their dating life quiet. Instead, Seth Rollins posted a picture of the two of them on Instagram saying,

"‘I guess I’m allowed to post this now….@beckylynchwwe ?’

From there, it only became more and more apparent that the two were desperately in love with each other, and WWE did not waste too much time before putting them together on-screen.

Their on-screen pairing was apparently too much for the WWE Universe and both of them came under criticism before they put that on the back burner and are now only an off-screen couple again. There were rumors that both of them might take time off after WrestleMania to get married, but with the current global pandemic, that was no longer a possibility. For the time being, Seth Rollins is being featured on television.

#3 The Miz and Maryse

The Miz and Maryse have also got a rather in-your-face relationship both on and off-screen in WWE.

The two Superstars have a TV show named after them, Miz and Mrs, and even before that, they had been an on-screen relationship for quite a few years. Their dynamic and chemistry was obvious to every fan that tuned in. While it was not clear when they began dating, they got married in 2014 after being married for a long time.

Both Miz and Maryse live together in California with their two daughters, Monroe Sky and Madison. Maryse appeared on WWE television as Miz's valet in 2016, and this helped to develop Miz's obnoxious Hollywood character. She also helped The Miz to win by cheating on numerous occasions in different matches. They were the perfect couple made for the WWE Universe to both hate and love them according to the gimmick that they are portraying.

Currently, their relationship is not on-screen in one of the wrestling shows of WWE, although the Miz and Mrs show has become quite the hit.

#2 Naomi and Jimmy Uso

Their relationship was made very visible to the fans as they got married on Total Divas. Jimmy Uso and Naomi were in a relationship for four years before they got married in 2014, which makes them one of the longest-lasting relationships in WWE at the moment. They are mainstays in their individual divisions, with The Usos being one of the most popular and successful tag teams in WWE, and Naomi being one of the more popular women's wrestlers as well.

On the screen, other than the reality show, they were portrayed to be on together in WWE as well. There was a whole program with Mandy Rose, Naomi, and Jimmy Uso, where Rose was apparently trying to get Jimmy to betray Naomi.

Thankfully for him, he would not do that and instead helped his wife get revenge on Mandy. This was one of the more popular storylines in WWE when it was taking place.

#1 Edge and Beth Phoenix

Until the 2020 Royal Rumble event, Edge had been gone from WWE for 9 years. In that time, a lot had changed in the life of the Superstar, including the fact that he was in a relationship with Beth Phoenix. It is not known when the two began to date, but in 2010 Beth divorced her former husband.

Edge and The Glamazon had a daughter together in 2013 named Lyric, and then they had yet another daughter in 2016 named Ruby. The two got married in 2016. For a long time, it seemed that Edge and Beth would never really feature their relationship on-screen.

It was practically impossible, as Edge had retired with a neck injury before it had even been known that the two were dating. Both of them are currently in the Hall of Fame, but it is in their post-Hall of Fame career that they portrayed their relationship on-screen.

Edge returned to WWE in 2020 during the Royal Rumble event. The next night, he was viciously attacked by Randy Orton. This later led to Beth Phoenix coming to the ring to give an update on her husband, when she too, was attacked by the Viper.

Edge came back after this and faced Orton at WrestleMania, taking revenge on him for not only attacking Edge, but also having the nerve to RKO his wife, Beth Phoenix.
