There are a number of real-life couples currently making up the population of WWE, but many of these have never been given the opportunity to work together on TV.

The likes of Naomi and Jimmy Uso, Candice and Johnny Gargano, and even Bianca Belair and Montez Ford have been acknowledged by WWE over the years, but there are several others who haven't.

The company is currently trying to ignore the fact that Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins are a couple on-screen. Whilst Lynch and Rollins have worked together in the past, many WWE couples have been denied this opportunity.

The following list looks at just five real-life WWE couples who were never acknowledged on TV.

#5. Current WWE Superstar Charlotte Flair and Andrade

Charlotte Flair and Andrade were open about the fact that they were in a relationship whilst both working for WWE in recent years.

Flair and Andrade first made their relationship public in early 2019 before later announcing their engagement on New Year's Day in 2020. Flair was being pushed as one of the main stars in the Women's Division at the time, whilst Andrade was going through his own storylines alongside his business manager Zelina Vega.

Despite wanting to work together, the couple was never acknowledged by their employers, since there was never a creative push to allow them to work a storyline as a couple.

Instead, Andrade worked alongside Zelina Vega for much of his WWE career and the company opted not to go with a storyline for him and Charlotte Flair after Vega and Andrade went their separate ways.

It was noted several times throughout Andrade's WWE tenure that the couple was hoping for a storyline together, but the company was unable to make it work and Andrade was released from WWE not long afterward.

The former United States Champion has now made his way over to AEW and it appears that at the end of her WWE tenure Charlotte Flair could be looking to join her fiance.

#4. Current WWE Superstar Zelina Vega and Aleister Black

Zelina Vega recently made her return to WWE after being fired from the company in the fall of 2020.

Whilst Vega was away, the company went on to release her husband Aleister Black as part of their annual budget cuts back in April and he has since signed with AEW.

Throughout her WWE career, Vega was aligned with Andrade as his business manager and was even able to feud with her own husband whilst the couple was working in NXT. Despite working closely several times throughout their career, the couple was never acknowledged by the company.

Vega and Black married in a very private ceremony in 2018 and their marriage was only revealed through sources close to the company. It wasn't until a few months later that the couple began updating their social media posts to include each other.

Despite being a well-known couple and even though Vega had left Andrade behind, WWE still opted against allowing the real-life couple to work together on TV.

#3. Former WWE Superstars Peyton Royce and Tye Dillinger

Peyton Royce and Tye Dillinger are one of many couples who actually met whilst working for WWE. After dating for several years, the couple revealed they were in a relationship in 2017 and went on to marry after Dillinger had left the company in 2019.

Even though the couple had been dating since 2015 and had been part of both the NXT and main roster at the same time, WWE failed to acknowledge that these two stars were any more than work colleagues.

Both Dillinger and Royce have since been released from WWE and are once again working for rival promotions. Dillinger requested his release from the company back in 2019 whilst Royce was part of the company's recent budget cuts.

Under the ring name Cassie Lee, Royce is now part of IMPACT Wrestling where she is one half of the Women's Tag Team Champions.

Dillinger has moved on to a career in AEW where he is now known under the ring name Shawn Spears.

#2. Current WWE Superstars Erik and Sarah Logan

Sarah Logan was once part of WWE as one-third of The Riott Squad. The former star was already in a relationship with Raymond Rowe when one half of The Viking Raidiers joined NXT.

Whilst the couple were able to work on the same brand for a number of months ahead of Logan's release, the company never acknowledged that they were a real-life couple.

Following Logan's WWE release back in 2020, the former star announced that she was expecting the couple's first child. Even when WWE announced Logan's pregnancy on their social media, it wasn't addressed on TV and Erik continued the same storyline until he was given paternity leave when the couple welcomed their son in February.

Logan is currently looking to return to the wrestling business after welcoming her first child, whilst her partner Erik remains one-half of The Viking Raiders. Erik and Ivar were recently moved over to SmackDown as part of the annual WWE Draft, but are yet to appear on the show.

#1. Current WWE Superstars Carmella and Corey Graves

Current WWE Superstars Corey Graves and Carmella recently shared the fantastic news that they are engaged after dating for just over two years.

Graves currently provides commentary on Monday Night RAW after making the move over to the red brand following WrestleMania in April. His fiancee Carmella was moved over to RAW as part of the recent WWE Draft.

Even though the company regularly goes out of its way to ensure that the couple are on the same brand following every draft, they are yet to be acknowledged as a couple on-screen as part of their weekly show.

This could be because Graves regularly makes remarks about other women on the roster and has a character that fits in well with this.

The couple have been seen together on Total Divas in the past, but it appears that there has never been a situation on WWE TV where the company has needed to reveal that the duo are a couple in real life.
