9 Current WWE Superstars who you might not know were divorced

Drew McIntyre and Randy Orton

As you may have realized by now, or maybe not, being a WWE Superstar is surely not an easy job.

The performers are on the road 300 days a year, traveling from one city to another with the earnest intentions of entertaining the fans. The challenging demands of being a WWE Superstar take an immense toll on the talents, and it just doesn't affect their kayfabe lives.

The personal lives of the Superstars are also strained by the tenuous schedule of being an active WWE talent.

Investing a healthy amount of time is one of the fundamentals of maintaining a successful relationship. Unfortunately for the WWE Superstars, time is a luxury, and it's difficult for them to spend time with their loved ones. Preserving marriages becomes all the more arduous for the talents, but that doesn't mean there aren't relationships that have stood the test of time despite all the challenges. Many have got it right.

However, the number of broken marriages in the WWE are also quite high, and the reason didn't always revolve around the lack of time spent with each other.

In this slider, we will take a look at the Superstars from the current roster who were separated, the reasons, and the aftermath of the divorces.

#9. Drew McIntyre

Drew McIntyre is at his peak right now. He has the WWE title around his waist and a lovely wife in Kaitlyn Frohnapfel, who he has been married to since 2016.

However, The Scottish Psychopath's first marriage was quite a controversial one.

Drew McIntyre joined WWE for the first time in 2007, the same year in which Taryn Terrell, AKA Tiffiny, also signed up with the company.

A love story blossomed between the two young Superstars, and they got engaged in 2009 before getting married in 2010.

The newly-wed McIntyre was destined to become a top guy in the company. Things were looking up for The Chosen One.

However, McIntyre and Terrell's marriage fell apart within months of them tying the knot.

Terrell was arrested in August 2010 following a domestic disturbance incident with McIntyre. The former Playboy model was handed a suspension by the WWE, and she was subsequently released from the company in November that year.

McIntyre wasn't punished by the WWE as they knew his potential, and he stayed in the company until his release in 2014.

Terrell would finalize her divorce with McIntyre in May 2011. She worked for TNA and a few other independent promotions before retiring in 2017.

#8. Randy Orton

Randy Orton from the past was a different human being altogether. As a company top guy, The Viper was temperamental behind the scenes who had his fair share of struggles with substance abuse. Not to forget, he had a short fuse.

Before Orton met his current wife, Kimberly Kessler, Orton was married to Samantha Speno for six years. They tied the knot in the year 2007 and welcomed their first child, daughter Alanna Marie Orton in 2008.

Samantha filed for divorce in March 2013, citing 'irreconcilable differences'. One of the biggest contributing factors to the separation was Orton not being able to spend time with the family due to his hectic schedule.

The divorce was finalized in June 2013, and a six-year marriage thus came to an end.

Samantha got full custody of their daughter with Randy getting visitation rights and the order to pay $4500 per month for child support.

As per a report from TMZ, Orton retained a house, a 2009 Harley Davidson, jewelry, a Range Rover and a Bentley. He also held on to the rights of his six-figure WWE contract and his bank accounts. Samantha walked away with a 2013 Infiniti, $654,317, and her share of the jewelry.

Randy Orton has been a changed man in the decade that followed his divorce, and it's great to see him settled and happy with his life these days.

#7. Bray Wyatt

Bray Wyatt's divorce is a recent case that got a lot of press coverage due to the ugly nature of the separation.

Samantha Rotunda and Bray Wyatt got married in 2010 and they enjoyed a seven-year marriage until their separation in 2017.

Samantha filed for divorce in 2017 on the grounds that Bray was allegedly having an affair with WWE ring announcer Jojo Offerman.

Details made known in the divorce documents as revealed by Daily Mail's Jose Lambiet didn't paint Wyatt in a positive light.

Samantha alleged that Wyatt walked out on her and their two daughters in March 2017 and she even provided phone records of Wyatt being in constant touch with Jojo. Wyatt filed an injunction in which he accused his estranged wife of making defamatory statements to ruin his reputation.

Samantha claimed $15,000 monthly from Wyatt for child and spousal support. The couple was eventually forced to have a mediation session in Tampa, Florida.

At the end of litigation, Wyatt was told to pay $14,735 a month and a separate $50,000 one-time payment to cover the legal charges.

Wyatt has been in a steady relationship with Jojo ever since his divorce, and the couple welcomed their first child in May 2018.

#6. Edge

Edge's personal life has been under the spotlight ever since he began dating Beth Phoenix in 2011. The wrestling couple got married in 2016 and they have two children,

Edge, however, has been involved in a few highly-publicized relationships in the past.

The 11-Time WWE Champion's first marriage was with Alannah Morley, the sister of former WWE Superstar Val Venis. They were together from 2001 until the divorce in 2004.

Edge then tied the knot with Lisa Ortiz in October 2004 and what followed is one of the most infamous stories in WWE history. Edge began an affair with Lita shortly after his second marriage. Lita was dating Matt Hardy at that time and the news of Edge's relationship with the former Women's Champion got out in the public domain in February 2005.

As we all know, WWE made it a storyline on TV but Edge had to face real repercussions in his married life.

Lisa Ortiz and Edge separated in November 2015 and the affair with Lita was the primary reason behind the divorce.

#5. Charlotte Flair

Charlotte Flair has endured an unfortunate history when it comes to relationships.

Charlotte was married to Riki Johnson from May 2011 to February 2013. As revealed in Charlotte and her father Ric Flair's joint autobiography 'Second Nature', Flair ended her first marriage with Riki Johnson as she was subjected to multiple instances of domestic assault.

Charlotte Flair moved on from her first failed marriage and began dating Thomas Latimer, who the fans know as Bram from his days in TNA.

Flair and Latimer were married for two years before they separated in 2015.

Charlotte had the following to say about her failed marriages during an interview on Arm Drag Takedown with Pollo Del Mar while promoting her book.

“It really got to me when I first started in WWE that people would make fun of me being divorced. My dad has been divorced so many times. I don’t know why it bothered me. I don’t know whether it’s because I hate failing or I was embarrassed or comparing myself to my female peers — I don’t know. But to just get that off my chest, explain what I’ve been through or what I’ve learned, [how] I’ve come out a better person. I think that was the hardest part to share.” H/t Credit: Huffpost

Charlotte is currently engaged to Andrade and we must say, The Queen and El Idolo look great together.

#4. Big Show

Big Show has been married twice in his life and he tied the knot with his first wife, Melissa Ann Piavis in February 1997. The relationship broke down in 2000 and the divorce was finalized two years later in 2002.

Show went on to marry Bess Katramados - his current wife - in 2002 and the couple has two children together.

Big Show will go down as one of the most underrated Superstars of all time. The former WWE Champion is nearing 50 and he's still being brought back to wrestle a few matches and to be fair, he still looks solid in the ring.

The giant is surely nearing the end of his in-ring career and his current contract with the WWE is expected to be his last before he officially hangs up his wrestling boots.

Big Show is a respected veteran who has had a non-controversial personal life. The WWE Superstar even bagged his own Netflix show called 'The Big Show Show' - a typical family sitcom. You may want to give it a shot and check out Show's acting chops.

#3. Tamina

Tamina Snuka doesn't quite get the recognition she deserves. The fans often forget that the daughter of the late great Jimmy 'Superfly' Snuka has been in the WWE since 2010.

Even though she has not been booked as a top-tier talent, the 42-year-old Superstar has stepped up to do the job whenever the WWE Management came knocking at her door. Unfortunately, recurring injuries have prevented her WWE career from truly taking off

Tamina's personal life has also not been talked about much like her career, which has always gone under the radar.

The former team B.A.D member has been married once and she has two children with her ex-husband Brandon Polamalu. The marriage lasted from 1995 to 2003, way before she even began her training to be a professional wrestler.

There are no details about her ex-husband but we do know that she had to work incredibly hard to support her family after the divorce. Her efforts included going back to college and taking up odd jobs and she continued to slog it out until pursuing pro wrestling as a career.

#2. The Undertaker

Just like Edge, Undertaker's personal life has also come into the spotlight due to his WrestleMania angle with AJ Styles, in which The Phenomenal One took shots at Michelle McCool - Undertaker's wife since 2010.

Undertaker's relationship history is relatively well-documented as he's one of the biggest Superstars in wrestling history and his mysterious on-screen character always piqued the fans' interest about how he would be outside the realms of kayfabe.

Undertaker's 10-year marriage with Jodi Lynn ended in 1999 and various unverified rumors about the reason behind the separation have been doing the rounds till this very day.

Undertaker ended up marrying Sara in 2000 and she made a few TV appearances for the WWE during their relationship. We better not get into that Diamond Dallas Page storyline.

The WWE Legend separated from his second wife in 2007 and the couple had two children together. The Phenom finally got married to Michelle McCool in 2010.

The Undertaker is entering the final days of his illustrious career and it has been refreshing to see future Hall of Famer show shades of his real self on WWE TV.

#1. John Cena

It can be argued that John Cena isn't technically a current WWE Superstar, not after the Firefly Fun House match in which Bray Wyatt erased him from existence.

However, John Cena will forever be a semi-active WWE superstar until the day he officially calls it quits. We even reported that he would readily come back for a match if the WWE management gives him a phone call.

John Cena's future, however, is a topic for another article. When talking about his relationship history, Nikki Bella deservedly hogs all the limelight and rightfully so.

Cena and Nikki Bella were part of a relationship that got a lot of media attention but the previously engaged couple split in April 2018, one month before they were scheduled to get married.

The Cenation Leader has been married once before to Elizabeth Huberdeau, who he got married to in July 2009. The couple were together for almost three years before Cena filed for divorce in 2012.

The divorce was finalized in July 2012 and Cena began dating Nikki Bella a year after his first marriage ended.

The 16-time WWE Champion is currently in a relationship with Shay Shariatzadeh.
