WWE is home to several Superstars who have managed to find their soulmates inside the ring. This isn’t new as we’ve seen people find love in their place of work several times, and we think it’s great to see Superstars find time for themselves outside the ring and enjoy companionship when they are no busy entertaining up.
Several wrestlers have found their partners while competing for WWE, while others found them outside and continued their relationship while performing for the company.
In recent years, the company has realized that it’s difficult for couples who work for the company to spend time together while on the road, as appearing on different brands can lead to them ending up in different cities.
Therefore, we’ve seen WWE bringing several wrestling couples together on one brand, allowing them to spend more time backstage and be together on the road while entertaining the fans.
This could lead to happier relationships and lesser problems arising as the couples remain close to each other.
In this article, we will look at the nine such couples which have been paired by the company on the same brand in order to allow them to spend more time together!
#9 Marina Shafir & Roderick Strong (NXT)
Known as one of the Four Horsewomen of MMA, Marina Shafir joined WWE along with Jessamyn Duke in May 2018. The two women made their first major appearance for NXT during WWE Evolution in 2018 when they interfered during the NXT Women's Championship match, in which they helped Shayna Baszler win the title over Kairi Sane.
Shafir has since worked a few matches with Duke and also assisted Baszler during her time in NXT, but hasn’t had too many top matches yet.
Roderick Strong, on the other hand, is one of the pillars of NXT and a member of WWE’s top faction, The Undisputed Era. Strong is a former NXT Tag Team Champion and NXT North American Champion, and arguably one of the strongest and hardest workers on the entire brand.
Shafir and Strong got engaged in December 2015, long before either joined WWE. In April 2017, Shafir gave birth to their first child, and the two got married on November 7, 2018.
While WWE hasn’t used the couple as much on screen, Shafir was named several times during Strong’s recent feud with Velveteen Dream in which Dream targeted Strong’s family on the mic.
Both Superstars have a bright future ahead of them, and Strong has the potential to become one of the faces of WWE in the years to come.
#8 Bianca Belair & Montez Ford (RAW)
The EST of NXT has transformed into The EST of WWE, as Bianca Belair made the move from NXT to RAW when she helped out The Street Profits fend off an attack from Angel Garza, Austin Theory, and Zelina Vega at WrestleMania 36.
After several shots at the NXT Women’s Championship, it seems like Belair has gotten enough fan following and confidence to perform at a bigger stage and aim for the RAW Women’s Championship sooner than later.
Montez Ford is currently one-half of the RAW Tag Team Champions along with Angelo Dawkins. The duo, called The Street Profits, was the NXT Tag Team Champions not too long ago and managed to defeat Seth Rollins and Murphy for the title on RAW soon after moving to the main roster.
The duo got engaged while performing together on NXT on June 9, 2017, and married a year later on June 23, 2018. While they do not have any children together, Belair has two step-kids with Montez Ford from a previous relationship of his.
We wish both the Superstars the best of luck on their future endeavors on RAW!
#7 Mia Yim & Keith Lee (NXT)
Mia Yim officially signed with WWE in 2018, even though she’d taken to the NXT ring and been a part of the Mae Young Classic tournament before that. After signing with the company, the Head Baddie In Charge managed to make a name for herself by being very different from the other performers and playing a great babyface character.
Yim recently hit jackpot as she was called out by the NXT Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair and the two women will likely battle for the title in the coming weeks.
Keith Lee signed with the company a few months before Yim joined. Lee was seen as an extraordinary performer on NXT since the beginning, but his stocks rose substantially during the build-up of Survivor Series 2019.
He has since come face to face with Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Braun Strowman, and Brock Lesnar, and won the NXT North American Championship from Roderick Strong.
While the couple has kept their private lives out of the media, we’ve seen The Limitless One and the HBIC enjoying their time together several times on social media.
Recently, the two also appeared in WWE’s latest Netflix film called ‘The Main Event’ where both Superstars got some screen time.
We wish the two Superstars the best for their time in NXT and hope they manage to win the top Championships of the brand at the same time!
#6 Zelina Vega & Aleister Black (RAW)
Zelina Vega has proven to be one of the best female managers of our time. The Superstar started in NXT, just like several other Superstars, and competed in the ring before she moved on to become the business associate of Andrade.
Since then, Andrade has won the NXT Championship and gone on to RAW to become the United States Champion. During that time, Vega has expanded her portfolio and gotten new Superstars like Angel Garza and Austin Theory under her wing.
Aleister Black, on the other hand, has been a lone ranger of sorts. Even though he has made a tag team with Ricochet at different points for short times, he has excelled as a solo Superstar. Beginning from NXT, where he became the NXT Champion, Black has gone on to dominate half of the RAW roster and he now has his eyes on the other half as he pushes forward to become the WWE Champion someday.
While both the Superstars are doing different things, Vega and Black have been together for some time now. They met in NXT and got married in November 2018. Before their marriage, they were so distant from each other on-screen that the WWE Universe was unaware they were a real-life couple.
Vega and Black seem to have a bright future ahead of them, and we hope to watch Black take on the biggest stars in the business and become the WWE or Universal Champion.
#5 Naomi & Jimmy Uso (SmackDown)
Two-time SmackDown Women’s Champion Naomi has been a pillar of the SmackDown Women’s division for some time now. Along with a few other women, Naomi has ensured that she remains at the top of the Blue brand whenever she gets the chance and proves that she is one of the best athletes in the company today.
Jimmy Uso, on the other hand, has enjoyed a lot of success with his twin brother Jey Uso in both SmackDown and RAW. Their tag team, named The Usos, has had no less than six Tag Team Championship reigns, with four of those reigns coming as the SmackDown Tag Team Champions.
The two Superstars have been instrumental in SmackDown’s recent success, and have been together for a long time. They met in the WWE Performance Center and were married in Maui on January 16, 2014. Since then, the two Superstars have largely performed on the same brand and WWE has often used Naomi in storylines involving The Usos.
While the couple does not have any children together, Naomi is the stepmother of Jimmy’s two children.
#4 Scarlett Bordeaux & Karrion Kross (NXT)
Scarlett Bordeaux appeared in WWE long before she signed a full contract with the company. Her first appearance came back in June 2014 when she played the role of a Rosebud for Adam Rose. Her first match in WWE came against Nia Jax on the December 26, 2016, episode of WWE RAW where she was squashed by the former RAW Women’s Champion.
Bordeaux became a big name in wrestling outside WWE and signed with several promotions, winning a few titles in the process. She formally signed with WWE in November 2019 and appeared on the April 8 episode of NXT after the match between Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano.
Karrion Kross, known as Killer Kross before signing with WWE, also appeared for the company in a match in 2015 before he formally signed a contract. On February 4, 2020, it was confirmed that Kross had signed with WWE through WWE Backstage.
Vignettes for Kross’s arrival on NXT started airing soon after and he was seen with Bordeaux after the match between Ciampa and Gargano. The following week, Kross debuted, attacking Ciampa during a backstage promo.
The two Superstars are new to WWE and will be featured on NXT together for the time being. They have been in a relationship for some time now, and several outlets have stated that they are now married.
#3 Candice LeRae & Johnny Gargano (NXT)
Candice LeRae has been one of NXT’s most consistent performers over the past few years. While LeRae has had mixed bookings and storylines, she has proven that she is one of the best female wrestlers in the company with her performances in the ring.
Even though LeRae hasn’t won any title in the company, she has a huge fan following and has enjoyed a lot of success on other promotions. Fans expect LeRae to win the NXT Women’s Championship at some point and go on to make it big on RAW or SmackDown in the coming years.
Johnny Gargano has been the most popular Superstar on NXT for quite some time now. The Rebel Heart became the first NXT Triple Crown Champion as he has won the NXT Tag Team Championships, NXT North American Championship, and the NXT Championship.
Even after proving his worth to the company on several occasions and battling in five Match of the Year Award-winning battles, Gargano has preferred to stay put on the Black and Gold brand.
LeRae and Gargano met long before they joined WWE, and got engaged in January 2016. The two Superstars got married at Disneyland on September 16, 2016.
They are one of the few real-life wrestling couples on the list who have battled each other inside the ring and have also featured in a short documentary on their dynamics as a wrestling couple.
#2 Charlotte Flair & Andrade (RAW)
WWE is ruled by a Queen and her name is Charlotte Flair. Flair has been through all three brands of WWE and has managed to stay on top and make an impact on all the brands of the company.
Flair has enjoyed 12 Championship reigns in her career which include two NXT Championship, one Diva’s Championship, four RAW Women’s titles, and five SmackDown Women’s Championships. We’ve also seen Flair have some of the most intense rivalries and gripping matches in WWE history, making her one of the best female wrestlers of all time.
Andrade is still relatively new to WWE but he has managed to make an impact on the company. Starting off from NXT, Andrade has won the NXT Championship once before he moved to the RAW brand. There, he’s won the United States title once and is looking to climb the ladder to get to the top of RAW.
The two Superstars met on RAW and have been in a relationship ever since. The couple got engaged earlier this year on January 1, 2020.
While Flair is the current NXT Champion, she has the right to appear on both NXT and RAW, possibly because her fiance is on the Red brand. Andrade is one man who has the potential to score as many titles in WWE as Flair has.
#1 Becky Lynch & Seth Rollins (RAW)
While Charlotte Flair and Andrade have an impressive record in WWE, they are one-upped by only one couple in WWE.
Becky Lynch has become the face of RAW, and the entire company, over the past year or so. Her victory at WrestleMania 35 allowed her to become the first double-Champion in the company, as she won both the RAW and SmackDown Women’s Championship by defeating Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair.
Since then, Lynch has held and successfully defended her RAW Women’s title on several occasions and become one of the best women’s Champions there has ever been.
Similarly, Seth Rollins has a very impressive track record as he is arguably the most successful Superstar to have come out of NXT.
The Architect is a two-time WWE Champion, two-time Universal Champion, two-time Intercontinental Champion, one-time United States Champion, record six-time WWE/Raw Tag Team Champion, the 2014 Money in the Bank winner, and the 2019 Men's Royal Rumble winner.
With so many accomplishments to their name, the two Superstars are arguably the leaders of the men’s and women’s division of WWE.
In May 2019, it was revealed that Lynch was in a relationship with Rollins. The two had been dating for several months before that as older photos of the couple started to surface on social media. The couple announced their engagement on August 22, 2019.
Both Superstars have been used by WWE in on-screen angles since they revealed their relationship, and have also competed in a mixed tag team match.
They have achieved a lot in WWE already, and it feels like the power couple of WWE is just getting started.
