There are many real-life couples who are both working in professional wrestling today. Some work for the same promotion, like Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins and in WWE. Others work across different promotions like AEW's Andrade and WWE's Charlotte Flair.

Sometimes those couples even get to work together on screen, as we saw with Rusev and Lana throughout most of their run for WWE until Rusev was released and went to AEW

But, it's not often that a wrestling couple gets to team up together in the wrestling ring and work together. It has happened though! In fact there are five couples who work for WWE, or worked for WWE who have done it.

Here are five WWE couples past and present who have wrestled together


#5. Matt Cardona and Chelsea Green wrestled together outside of WWE

At IMPACT Wrestling's Slammiversary, Matt Cardona and a mystery partner were going to do battle against Tenille Dashwood and Brian Myers in an intergender match.

There was a ton of speculation as to who Cardona's mystery partner, with the former WWE United States Champion having some fun on Twitter by revealing who it wouldn't be.

It would, obviously, turn out to be his real-life partner Chelsea Green. The pair would go on to pick up the win on Green's re-debut with IMPACT.

Cardona wrestled in WWE as Zack Ryder with the aforementioned US Title win the height of his success, whereas Green's WWE run was marred by injuries and never really got going until her release.

#4. John Cena and Nikki Bella got engaged after wrestling together for WWE

John Cena and Nikki Bella may no longer be together, but they hold the distinction of being the only WWE couple to win a match at WrestleMania and then get engaged afterwards.

John Cena is one of the biggest WWE Superstars ever and is currently the subject of rampant speculation surrounding a return as early as this year's Money in the Bank pay-per-view.

Nikki Bella is also hinting at a return to WWE, revealing in an interview that she's training for an in-ring return.

So there's a very real chance that both Cena and Bella will be back in WWE around the same time, although it's very unlikely they'll be teaming up with each other again.


#3. The Miz and Maryse lost to John Cena and Nikki Bella at WWE WrestleMania

The Miz and Maryse were John Cena and Nikki Bella's opponents for the aforementioned WrestleMania match that saw Cena get down on one knee afterwards.

Sadly this means that they are one of the very few WWE couple to have teamed up together and lost.

I'm sure The Miz and Maryse won't be feeling too bothered about it though, as they have a successful reality television show 'Miz and Mrs.' two beautiful children and, of course, each other!

#2. John Morrison and Frankie Monet are both now in WWE but teamed together beforehand

Before and after he was John Morrison in WWE, he was Johnny IMPACT (It's complicated) and before she was Frankie Monet in WWE, she was Taya Valkyrie and they were IMPACT Wrestling's power couple.

The pair teamed up several times and defeated some pretty impressive intergender couples like Brian Cage and Jordynne Grace and Moose and Tessa Blanchard. The pair even have a win over Rey Fenix and Penta El Zero M.

They're both very separate in WWE at the moment, with Morrison teaming with the Miz on RAW and Monet doing well in NXT. I wonder if WWE will ever put the pair together?


#1. Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella team up regularly in WWE

Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella have actually wrestled together three times in WWE, with their first partnership going all the way back to 2010 when the pair took on Maryse and Ted Dibiase Jr.

Bizarrely, Maryse would feature in all three of their matches, as they'd also face her, Alicia Fox and Ted Dibiase Jr. in 2011, teaming up with Brie Bella's sister, Nikki Bella.

Their final match was in a losing effort against The Miz and, you guessed it because I told you, Maryse. This match took place at WWE Hell in a Cell in 2018.
