5 Real-life couples we may never see together on WWE TV again

Over the course of the past several decades, WWE has wowed the fans with innumerable storylines and matches, a select few of which would go down in history as timeless classics. The Superstars who are the central focus of these angles are larger than life characters who live a completely different life outside of the fictional world of professional wrestling. They have their wives and kids, and a home to spend time with their loved ones in, whenever they get breaks in the midst of the weekly action.

In some cases though, we get to see the Superstars and their better halves (or soon to be better halves) together on WWE TV. In the following slideshow, we will take a look at five real-life couples we once saw together on WWE TV, but will probably never see them appear together on WWE programming again.

#5 Jon Moxley and Renee Young

Once regarded as WWE's most beloved couple, Jon Moxley and Renee Young began dating back in 2013, which was a few months after Moxley made his big debut on WWE's main roster as a part of The Shield. Young was a backstage interviewer and on-air personality on WWE TV at the time. Over the course of the next 6 years or so, we saw Moxley and Renee together on-screen, although their relationship was acknowledged only a handful of times on WWE TV.

The Miz once referenced Moxley while being interviewed by Young, and received a slap for his harsh words. Last year, as Moxley was mere days away from leaving WWE, Bobby Lashley insulted Young, leading to a brawl between Moxley and Lashley. Moxley is currently pretty happy working outside WWE and is the reigning AEW Champion. He has criticized WWE on various occasions following his release last year, which made many fans speculate that we probably might never see him on WWE TV again. Renee is currently doing fine for herself on FS1's WWE Backstage, and rarely makes appearances on WWE TV.

#4 Shawn Spears and Peyton Royce

Formerly known in WWE as Tye Dillinger, current AEW star Shawn Spears was released from WWE last year. Around three years ago, we saw Spears appear in a backstage segment, being interviewed by The IIconics, consisting of Peyton Royce and Billie Kay. The duo asked him who he was giving his vote to, in the NXT Year-End Awards. They weren't thrilled when Spears took No Way Jose's name.

Two years later, Spears got married to Royce in Augst 2019. Spears debuted for All Elite Wrestling on its first-ever show named Double Or Nothing and participated in the pre-show Casino Batte Royale. He went on to have a rivalry with Cody and is being managed by wrestling legend Tully Blanchard. Spears has mentioned previously that he is happy working a lighter schedule in AEW, and this probably means that we will never see him and Royce together on WWE TV again. He has made it clear that despite not being used much on AEW TV, there are other advantages of being in that company that he can't ignore.

#3 CM Punk and AJ Lee

CM Punk made his way to WWE Backstage last year in November. This led to speculation on whether he was going to make a return to pro-wrestling as an active wrestler. Punk seems to be happy sharing his opinion on WWE's product on the FS1 show, and there's no concrete indication that we will see him wrestle for Vince McMahon again. His WWE exit was an ugly one, and it was recently reported that Vince McMahon doesn't want to work with Punk.

AJ Lee followed Punk out of WWE a year later. She was featured in a full-fledged angle with Punk and Daniel Bryan in 2012. AJ revealed a while ago that she is happy staying retired, and will not join her husband on WWE Backstage. If she isn't interested in an appearance on WWE Backstage and is enjoying her retirement from wrestling, chances are slim that she would appear on WWE TV as well. Hence, it's safe to say that we might never see these two former Superstars together on WWE TV again.

#2 Rusev and Lana

The Bulgarian Brute came up to WWE's main roster in 2014, with Lana acting as his manager. After being in a relationship for a while, which stemmed due to them being close while in NXT, Rusev and Lana got married in July 2016. Rusev popularized the gimmick of Rusev Day on SmackDown, back in 2017-18. Fans were chanting Rusev Day every week, and many believed that he was about to get a huge push. Nothing of this sort happened and Rusev Day soon faded into obscurity.

Rusev, Lana, and Bobby Lashley were involved in a love triangle storyline last year, which carried on to 2020, and ended with Lashley getting the upper hand. Rusev was absent from WWE TV for the final few weeks of his stint and was among the ones released by WWE as a part of budget cuts. Earlier this year, Rusev edited his Twitter bio and mentioned that he was soon going to be a free agent.

Lana is currently still involved with Lashley on-screen, while Rusev is currently enjoying his new hobby of playing games and chatting with fans on Twitch. He has previously said that he is frustrated due to things remaining the same even though he keeps trying his best. Rusev also said that pitching idea to Vince McMahon didn't bear any results. All of these things might convince him to never sign with WWE again, and we will probably not get to see this real-life couple share screen-time on WWE TV in the future.

#1 Brock Lesnar and Sable

It has been over 18 years since Brock Lesnar first appeared on WWE TV. In his two WWE stints, he has cemented himself as one of the most dominant performers in the history of the company. While Lesnar was ruling the SmackDown brand in 2003, he met Sable and the duo hit it off. Both once appeared together in a backstage segment with Vince McMahon. After Lesnar left WWE in 2004, their love blossomed further and they got married on May 6, 2006.

Ever since Sable got married to Lesnar, she has embraced her life away from the spotlight. Sable was one of the most popular Divas in WWE at a time but has been away from the limelight ever since she left WWE soon after Lesnar's exit. The couple lives with their children on a farm in Maryfield, Saskatchewan, and seems content living a private life. It's no secret that Lesnar is an incredibly private person and isn't interested in mixing up his personal and work life. This makes it almost impossible that we will ever see Lesnar and Sable on WWE TV together again.
