7 Wrestling couples we may never see together on-screen

Couples in wrestling get paired together more often than not. These real-life pairings translating on-screen was perhaps made popular by The 'Macho Man' Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth - the greatest wrestling couple of the golden era - and perhaps of all time.

While their relationship and marriage didn't last, many other couples have appeared together on-screen and WWE enjoys using the real-life relationship and crossover to draw more viewers. The perfect example of this was when Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins aligned to take on Lacey Evans and (King) Baron Corbin in the main event of Extreme Rules 2019.

Even with certain couples, their relationship is acknowledged with brief appearances together but ultimately, the decision would be to keep them apart to have singles careers of their own.

There is an undeniable appeal to mass audiences to have real-life couples together, but the truth is that there are many couples who we may see interact on-screen, but we may never see them together in regular TV programming. This list also includes past couples who were together on-screen but may not be anymore.

#7. Adam Cole and Britt Baker

Adam Cole and Britt Baker are a couple separated by promotions. She's found her home in All Elite Wrestling, while Adam Cole dominates their competitors NXT, where he achieved the record of becoming the longest-reigning NXT Champion of all time (surpassing Finn Balor).

Britt Baker received some criticism for the push she got in All Elite Wrestling, but it seems as though the company is taking their time to build her up. Given the status and strength of their women's division, it's probably better that she stays and makes her name there. It's unlikely that we'll ever see the two on-screen together.

#6. Carmella and Corey Graves

While the two were in the midst of a controversy when their relationship was outed, the two would later go public and have been together since. Carmella is a former SmackDown Women's Champion, but her overall run hasn't seen her heavily featured on regular programming except for her first couple of years - the second half of which saw her become the first Women's Money in the Bank winner, which she would cash in 10 months later to become SmackDown Women's Champion.

Her run in 2018 lasted from the post-WrestleMania 34 SmackDown until SummerSlam, a run where she established herself as the top female heel on SmackDown. Her most notable run after that was her pairing with R-Truth - one that ended due to the brand split in 2019.

Corey Graves is the voice of SmackDown alongside Michael Cole and while he remains on the same brand as his partner, their relationship hasn't been acknowledged minus a few subtle jabs at Graves. Their relationship has been featured on Total Divas, but it's unlikely we'll ever see them together on WWE TV.

#5. Peyton Royce and Shawn Spears/Tye Dillinger

Peyton Royce has been absent for a large part of 2019 and 2020 after her reign as Women's Tag Team ended. That was perhaps her and Billie Kay's most prominent run since coming to the main roster - where they debuted by helping Carmella become the SmackDown Women's Champion.

Shawn Spears is now in AEW, where he'll hope to revive his career and take a different road from the one he did in WWE - where he spent most of his time in NXT and then a largely forgotten Superstar on the main roster. The lack of utilization and his role meant that he would ask for his release and get it, eventually jumping ship to AEW.

While Royce and Spears may not move beyond a certain level of the card, they've had good careers so far, but given that they're in two different promotions, it's unlikely we'll ever see them on-screen together. We can't rule of Spears returning to WWE, but if he gets pushed by AEW then there's no reason not to stay.

#4. Natalya and Tyson Kidd

Natalya and Tyson Kidd have been together for many years

As mentioned, this list also includes couples that we have seen together on-screen before, but ones that we'll never see again. This one seems all but certain, especially since Tyson Kidd's in-ring career ended close to five years ago.

He suffered a life-threatening injury and was one of the rare people to survive it or not come out of it as a quadriplegic. Perhaps his physical fitness had a great role to play in that as well. Ever since, he's taken up a role as a backstage producer, where he's constantly on the road with his wife Natalya, who he's been with for many years.

Natalya's last title reign was in 2017 and it's clear that her role in the Women's division is one where she's a veteran and a locker room leader. While she was seen on-screen with Kidd during his tag team pairing with Cesaro, she's been a solo act ever since.

Perhaps that's what best suits her, while Tyson Kidd has proved to be a great producer backstage.

#3. Jojo and Bray Wyatt

Jojo Offerman has long-since left her role as a ring announcer in WWE. Ever since her pregnancy, she's been off the grid, while Bray Wyatt had a hiatus of his own as well. After over five years on the main roster, Wyatt would get a well-earned time off and spend a long time away from the ring, where Braun Strowman revealed that it was hard to even get any contact with him.

The reason for this? He was in his 'shell' obsessively creating the character that would become 'The Fiend'. As we know, the character turned out to be a big success and in just over two months of his in-ring return, he would become the WWE Universal Champion.

During all of this, Jojo was raising Knash and even if she does make her return as a ring announcer, it would be odd to imagine that WWE would want to pair them up in any way. It would make no sense whatsoever, especially given that they don't even share the same job designation.

#2. Zelina Vega and Aleister Black

This is one of the rare entries where we've seen the couple against each other but not with each other on-screen. Zelina Vega's role in NXT and the main roster has been that of Andrade's 'business associate'. She proved to be vital in his early success due to the Mexican star's weakness in English promos.

She remains in that role, with Angel Garza being added to her list of clients. As for Aleister Black, he remains on the same brand (which is no coincidence, as WWE ensures that couples are on the same brand regardless of their on-screen roles) and is carving his path as a future top star in WWE.

For many, Black and Vega should never be on-screen together and given the difference in their characters, it wouldn't make much sense to align them together at any time. If anything, Aleister Black is the type of character who should remain solo throughout his career. He's best as a 'lone wolf', while Vega is a perfect fit for her current role.

#1. Charlotte Flair and Andrade

Charlotte Flair and Andrade are one of WWE's power couples. They went public last year and have been together even before that. Andrade is pegged to be one of WWE's future top stars, with many believing he's WWE's answer to what they've been seeking for a long time - a legitimate top Latino star who they can push to the top.

While they tried that with Alberto Del Rio, it didn't work, but Andrade's case is different and he doesn't seem to have any issues whatsoever backstage. He's on the same brand as Charlotte Flair, and while an alliance on-screen would never be out of the realm of possibility, it simply doesn't appear to be one that has too much weight to it or one that will benefit both Superstars.

They're both on a path of their own and while Charlotte has long since been established as a top star in the Women's division, Andrade's best years are to come. We expect them to constantly be on the same brand, but perhaps never together in an alliance.
