WWE couples have been given much more of a spotlight on WWE TV over the past few years, ever since The Bella Twins and their relationships with Daniel Bryan and John Cena were the inspiration for Total Divas back in 2013.

In recent years there have been a number of couples added to the show including Naomi and Jimmy Uso, Tyson Kidd and Natalya, Ronda Rousey and Travis Browne and even Carmella and Corey Graves.

Whilst Total Divas and Total Bellas have been a stepping stone for many couples who have now become known to the WWE Universe, whilst the likes of Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins, Johnny Gargano and Candice LeRae and even Miz and Maryse appeared together on WWE TV and became known as a couple to their fan base.

Whilst many couples have been afforded the time on WWE TV in recent years, there are many WWE couples that have been created over the years that have managed to remain very much under the radar.


#5. Bo Dallas and Sarah Bäckman

Bo Dallas hasn't been used properly on WWE TV over the past few months whilst his brother Bray Wyatt continues to push to the top of the WWE roster. Dallas was once the stand out star in the family as a former NXT Champion, but even though Bo hasn't been as successful on the main roster, his time in NXT remains memorable for several reasons.

Whilst the NXT Championship remains the only singles Championship that Dallas has won in WWE (aside from a short reign as 24/7 Champion), he also met his future wife while the couple was training together as part of WWE's developmental bra. Sarah Bäckman is a former eight-time arm wrestling champion who was signed to WWE back in 2013.

Bäckman's ring name was revealed as Shara the following year, but just two months later she requested her WWE release. A further two months after Bäckman was released from WWE, she married Bo Dallas and went on to start a career as a real estate broker.

#4. Tyler Breeze and Ashley Miller

Tyler Breeze is another WWE star who peaked in NXT, he waited much longer than any other star to be promoted to the main roster, but when he finally made his way to SmackDown and stepped into a feud with Dolph Ziggler, WWE dropped the ball with Prince Pretty and in recent months he has found himself back in NXT alongside his fashion police teammate Fandango.

Breeze is another star who will look back on his NXT stint as one of the biggest highlights of his career, but whilst he was down in NXT he also met his future wife. Ashley Miller was signed to WWE and sent to FCW back in 2011, she went on to wrestle the likes of AJ Lee and Aksana before then heading to NXT.

Miller was renamed Audrey Marie and made her debut in NXT back in 2012 where she lost to Raquel Diaz, merely months later she was released by the company. Three years later in September 2016, Miller and Breeze finally tied the knot after more than three years of dating.

#3. Aiden English and Shaul Guerrero

Aiden English is a former NXT Tag Team Champion, but following the release of his Vaudevillian partner Simon Gotch, English has been floating around the main roster and currently provides commentary instead of wrestling on a regular basis.

One of the highlights of Aiden's career came when he was teaming with Rusev on SmackDown and was known as Rusev Day. Whilst his NXT career saw him capture his only Championship, he is another star on this list that met his future wife whilst he was part of the NXT brand.

Raquel Diaz (Shaul Guerrero) is a former FCW Divas Champion and a female wrestler who was expected to become the next big thing in the Women's Division before she began to struggle with an eating disorder.

Aiden English worked alongside Eddie Guerrero's daughter Shaul throughout her career, and the couple continued to date after she asked for her release from NXT back in 2014. The couple became engaged later in the year before finally tying the knot in January 2016.

#2. Wesley Blake and Sara Lee

Wesley Blake is a former NXT Tag Team Champion alongside Buddy Murphy, who's known as Murphy on Monday night RAW currently. Whilst all of the spotlight was on Murphy and his relationship with Alexa Bliss throughout their time together in NXT, Blake has been able to reemerge in recent years as a member of The Forgotten Sons, but during his time away from the company Blake married former WWE star, Sara Lee.

Sara Lee will be memorable to WWE fans because she was the female winner of 2015's Tough Enough, (Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville were also part of the competition) following the win, Lee was signed to a year-long WWE contract but was released in 2016 just days before she revealed that she was expecting her first child.

Lee and Blake welcomed their first child together a daughter called Piper back in May 2017, the couple went on to marry later that year in December, before welcoming their second child, a son called Brady who was born in February 2019.

#1. Layla and Richard Young

Layla was the 2006 Diva Search winner and given her background as a dancer, she was able to adapt well to life as a WWE superstar. Layla went on to become both Women's and Divas Champion and even helped Michelle McCool to unify the Women's and Divas Championships, which saw the retirement of the Women's Championship back in 2010.

Layla went on to hand her former teammate her retirement when she defeated her in a loser leaves WWE match back at Extreme Rules in 2011 and then the British star opted to quietly walk away from the company back in 2015.

Whilst working for WWE, Layla met her future husband, Richard Young who was known as Ricky Ortiz in ECW. Ortiz was signed by WWE back in 2006 and wrestled a number of times on the main roster in 2009 before he was released.

Following his release from WWE, he went on to work on the Independent Circuit and married Layla merely months after her release from WWE in November 2015.
