#4. Former WWE Superstar Tessa Blanchard - Daga (7 years)

Tessa Blanchard spent only a few months in WWE. The daughter of WWE Hall of Famer Tully Blanchard competed in three matches on NXT in 2016 against Alexa Bliss, Nia Jax, and Carmella. However, she lost them all. The 26-year-old also participated in the 2017 Mae Young Classic tournament.

Tessa also competed for several years on the independent circuit, where she met and started a relationship with Mexican wrestler Daga, who is seven years older than her. In an Instagram post, she disclosed that she fell in love with him at first sight.

"I remember the first time I saw you, how I felt something stirring inside me telling me that you are the person that I will love for the rest of forever," she wrote.

In 2018, the daughter of WWE Hall of Famer Tully Blanchard joined IMPACT Wrestling. Her boyfriend also signed with the company nearly a year later. Meanwhile, they continued to wrestle in other independent promotions.

The couple teamed up in several matches. They also competed against each other a few times. In July and August 2019, they went head-to-head twice in singles bouts. Tessa defeated Daga in both.

In November 2019, the couple announced their engagement. They tied the knot in August 2020.

Tessa and her husband both left IMPACT Wrestling in 2020. The former IMPACT World Champion has not competed for over a year. Nonetheless, she recently signed with Women of Wrestling. Meanwhile, Daga has also not competed since July 2021.
