Over the past few weeks, some former and current WWE Superstars have tied the knot.

Many current superstars married their significant others in 2021. Seth Rollins, for example, tied the knot with the RAW Women's Champion Becky Lynch last June. Likewise, a few former superstars also married last year. Rob Van Dam, for instance, tied the knot with Katie Forbes last November.

Several former and current WWE Superstars also got hitched over the past few weeks. A few of them tied the knot with fellow wrestlers. Meanwhile, others married ladies from outside the wrestling business.

Here are seven current and former WWE Superstars who recently married.


#7. WWE Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page

Diamond Dallas Page first met Payge McMahon in 2013. After dating for a few months, the WWE Hall of Famer decided to end the relationship due to the lengthy age gap.

In an interview with I Run Far, McMahon disclosed that Page was intimidated by the 18-year age difference.

"He broke up with me in 2013. I think he was intimidated by the 18-year age difference, and I was traveling the world back then. But we had so much common, even broken backs," She said.

Despite this, the couple reunited in 2019 and dated again for two years before they tied the knot on December 9, 2021.

Page and his daughter, intuitive designer and luxury event planner Brittany Page, were the ones who organized the wedding, which took place at the Dwell Hotel in Chattanooga.

Meanwhile, the ceremony came as a surprise to the bride herself, as the WWE Hall of Famer told her that they were going to a "red and white" Christmas party.

The Hall of Famer's spouse has never worked in the wrestling business. She is currently Director of Partnerships and Special Projects at DDP Yoga. McMahon is also a Yoga, Pilates, and DDPY Instructor. In addition to all this, the 47-year-old describes herself as an adventurer, journalist, and motivator on her Instagram account.

#6. WWE United Kingdom Champion Ilja Dragunov

Ilja Dragunov kicked off his wrestling career nearly a decade ago. He competed in a few promotions before signing with WWE in January 2019. The Russian is one of the major attractions for the NXT UK brand.

Last year was one of the best years of Dragunov's in-ring career. In August, the 28-year-old captured his first championship in WWE when he defeated Gunther (FKA WALTER) at NXT TakeOver 36 to become the United Kingdom Champion.

In an interview set up by Centaur Marketing, Dragunov described defeating Gunther as one of the best moments of my life.

"I've been on such a painful path to get to this point, and to get to the point where I finally beat him, this was maybe one of the best moments of my life. It happened so fast. I remembered all of the things that I went through to get to this point, to finally being able to beat him. That was like something that changed me forever," he said.

Four months later, Dragunov had another memorable moment outside the squared circle. The NXT UK Champion got married on December 17, 2021.

The Russian posted a photo from his wedding on his social media accounts. However, Dragunov did not reveal any information about his spouse as he likes to keep his private life away from the public eye.

#5 & #4. Former WWE Superstars Matt Cardona and Chelsea Green

Former WWE Superstars Matt Cardona and Chelsea Green started dating in 2017 after AEW Executive Vice President Cody Rhodes and his wife Brandi set them up. At the time, Cardona was still working in Vince McMahon's company while his then-girlfriend competed in IMPACT Wrestling.

After dating for nearly two years, the couple announced their engagement. Cardona and Green then tied the knot on December 31, 2021. Several wrestlers attended their wedding, which took place in Las Vegas, Nevada, including WWE Superstars Dolph Ziggler, Maryse, and The Miz.

Cardona and Green are very open about their relationship. Over the past few weeks, the two wrestlers have shared several pictures and videos from their wedding.

A week after their ceremony, Cardona posted a photo with Green from their wedding on Instagram. He captioned it with an emotional message to his wife.

"Married this Hot Mess one week ago. New Years Eve…Wedding…Vegas…it was a night I can barely remember but I will never forget! I love you!" he wrote.

WWE released Cardona from his contract in April 2020 due to budget cuts. A year later, the company also let his wife go for the same reason. Since their release, the couple have competed in several promotions, including IMPACT Wrestling and GCW.

#3. Former WWE Superstar Gangrel

Former WWE Superstar Gangrel has been married several times. He tied the knot with his first wife, Cheryl Richards, in 1988. However, their marriage ended three years later.

In 1994, he married for the second time. Gangrel's second wife was Hall of Famer Luna Vachon. The couple remained together for nearly 12 years before they split in 2006.

Two years after his second divorce, the 52-year-old married his third wife, Kiara Dillon. Nevertheless, the couple got divorced five years later.

Gangrel recently tied the knot for the fourth time. On February 2, the former WWE Superstar married his partner Susan Nelson. The couple had a beach wedding in Fort Lauderdale.

Gangrel joined WWE in 1993 and spent two years in the company before leaving in 1995. Three years later, he returned to Vince McMahon's company. Nevertheless, the company released him from his contract in 2001.

Since his departure, Gangrel has been active on the independent circuit. Last January, he challenged Trevor Murdoch for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship at NWA Duuuval Brawl 4. However, he came up short.

#2 & #1. Former WWE Superstars Keith Lee and Mia Yim

Keith Lee and Mia Yim began dating before they both joined WWE. The couple even faced each other in a singles match at Beyond All Day in May 2018. Yim defeated her boyfriend.

Three months after their match, Lee signed with Vince McMahon's company. His girlfriend also followed in his footsteps later that same year. During their time in NXT, the couple competed as a tag team in three matches. Despite winning their first bout against Kona Reeves and Vanessa Borne, they lost the other two against Candice LeRae and Johnny Gargano.

After dating for several years, Yim and Lee announced their engagement in February 2021. On February 5, 2022, the couple tied the knot. A few wrestlers attended the ceremony, including current United States Champion Damian Priest and Shelton Benjamin.

A few hours ago, Yim shared a photo from the wedding on her Instagram account. In her photo caption, she stated that she feels proud to be Mrs. Lee.

"HappiLee Ever After. Thank you everyone and all the loved ones that was there to help make this day magical. I am proud and lucky to finally be Mrs. Lee. I love you," she wrote.

Lee and Yim spent three years in Vince McMahon's company. However, the company released them both from their contracts last November.
