11 On-Screen Wrestling Couples That Lead To Real Relationships John Cena & more
11. Charlie Haas and Jackie Gayda
Jackie Gayda had objectively, an underwhelming career in WWE,
never holding a championship, or even competing for one.
Instead, Gayda appeared almost exclusively on SmackDown
managing the team of Charlie Haas and Rico.
While the team’s 56-day reign as Tag Team Champions wasn’t much
Gayda does have the WWE to thank
for introducing her to Haas,
with the two stars becoming instantly smitten with each other.
With their relationship being seen both off and on TV,
the duo married just a year after being paired together,
and have since stepped away from wrestling.
Despite this, the pair have kept some connections to the company
with former partner Shelton Benjamin being Haas’
best man at his wedding.
With four children and a decade of marriage
Haas and Gayda have become one of the most successful love stories
to come out of WWE.
10. Christy Hemme and Joey Mercury
One of the lesser-known wrestling romances on this list,
Christy Hemme got her WWE debut as the original Diva Search winner,
While Mercury debuted in 2005 as part of MNM.
With the pair having maintained a relatively low profile,
and have rarely discussed their personal lives, not many fans will know that the two dated briefly in 2005,
, even though Hemme was on RAW and Mercury was on SmackDown.
Like any work romance, there have been speculation over the years,
with some claims that Hemme made a move on Triple H despite being with Mercury at the time.
That claim of course, has never been verified,
, with Hemme saying her release from the company in 2005 was on her own terms.
Mercury has since transitioned to a backstage role in the company,
, and While Hemme joined TNA in 2006, she did appear at the 2017 Hall of Fame, her first appearance with WWE in 12 years.
9.Melina and Batista
When Melina debuted on SmackDown in 2005,
she was flanked by Joey Mercury and then-real-life boyfriend, Johnny Nitro.
Meeting the year prior when Nitro was on Tough Enough,
the WWE showed rare restraint by not showcasing their relationship on TV,
even though many fans know of the couple at the time.
However, a few months after their on-screen debut
, Melina started a relationship with then-World Champion Batista,
in a move that nearly ended her relationship to the future Johnny Impact.
The relationship did prove to be the end of Batista’s second marriage though,
with the affair being turned into a very tasteless story on TV, where Melina would sleep with the Animal to help MNM
retain their titles, and claimed that the future-Drax assaulted her after.
Fortunately, the story was quickly dropped, perhaps after the company
realised showing turning actual cheating into a storyline wasn’t a good idea.
8.The Miz and Maryse
In 2018, The Miz and Maryse have proven themselves
to be the true It-Couple of WWE
with the pair upsetting Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella
multiple times over the summer.
The duo met when the self-proclaimed must -see Champion was hosting the 2006 Diva Search,and didn’t exactly make the best first impression with his future wife, mocking her for her poor English.
The two were once again paired together on-screen a few years later,
with the Miz trying to impress the French-Canadian,
with the two Superstars becoming good friends backstage.
Though Maryse left in 2011
their relationship blossomed,
with the pair tying the knot in 2014.
As the company’s It Couple, it makes sense that their wedding life
has featured heavily on screen, with the duo
having their own reality show,
which has focussed on their life on the road
and daughter Monroe Sky,
who was born this year.
7.John Cena and Maria
In 2006, John Cena was
the unquestionably the face of the WWE,
feuding with the company’s biggest stars,
including Triple H,
Kurt Angle,
and Edge.
It was in a feud with the Rated-R Superstar
that Cena began teaming with Maria,
who helped balance the odds against Edge’s squeeze at the time, Lita.
With the two sharing a kiss backstage,
rumours quickly circulated
that the pair were seeing each other in real life.
Many speculate that their relationship is indeed real,
but it didn’t last for long,
and both have clearly moved on since then
with Maria now married to Mike Kanellis
and the pair welcoming their daughter Fredrica Moon Kanellis
in April 2018.
6.John Cena and Mickie James
While Cena was rumoured to have been with Maria,
the self-proclaimed first lady of wrestling
isn’t the only woman connected to Cena during that time.
During 2007, Cena shared a lot of his on-screen time with Mickie James, which led to a real relationship between the two
much to the horror of Mickie’s fiancé at the time, Kenny Dykstra.
Things got worse or Dykstra though,
when he was quickly released after details of the affair went public
with the former Tag Team Champion
rightly unhappy about how things ended.
Much like his relationship with Maria,
with the Cenation leader marrying Elizabeth in 2009
and James jumping to TNA,
where she would meet Nick Aldis,
then working as Magnus
whom she married in 2015.
5. Ashley Massaro and Paul London
When Ashley Massaro won the 2005 Diva Search competition
the company clearly had big plans for her.
Not long after posing for playboy, the New Yorker was quickly pushed into a women’s championship feud,
and although she failed to capture the gold, she clearly turned some heads, most prominently Matt Hardy’s.
Things got heated though, after she begun getting close to Paul London,
with the situation between the three getting more heated after Massaro was moved to SmackDown to manage London,
a decision that led to a very public Twitter feud between the two former Tag Champions.
The relationship between Ashley and London did not last long though,
, with Ashley asking to be released from WWE in 2008 to care for her daughter,
and London being release not long after.
Despite it being nearly a decade since the ordeal, neither Massaro nor London have been invited back to the company,
, While Hardy returned last year, and became one of RAW’s most entertaining stars, before retiring.
4.Raquel Diaz and Aiden English
Even if you’ve never heard of Raquel Diaz
you will certainly know the former NXT Superstar’s father
with Diaz, real name Shaul Guerrero
being the daughter of the late, great Eddie Guerrero.
Despite being released from the company in 2014
Guerrero was fortunate enough to meet Aiden English during her time in NXT
with two getting engaged in December 2014.
Tying the knot in 2016
English has since started using a frog-splash on occasion
a clear homage to his legendary father-in-law.
While Guerrero’s wrestling days are seemingly behind her
her time in the squared circle isn’t,
with the 28-year-old signing to be a ring announcer
for Women’s of Wrestling earlier this year
proving that the Latino Heat, can not be put out.
3.Sara Lee and Wesley Blake
With Buddy Murphy standing on top of the 205 Live mountain,
it’s clear that his teaming with Wesley Blake is over
though the team of Blake and Sara Lee is certainly alive.
Most fans will remember
Lee as the winner of the 2015 WWE Tough Enough
though she was barely seen on WWE after winning
and was eventually released in 2016
just days before her contract was due to expire.
What most fans won’t know though,
is that she has been with Wesley Blake for a while now,
with the pair meeting in WWE
and welcoming their daughter Piper
in May 2017.
Despite Blake being on the road,
the pair have been able to make their relationship work
and in an industry with plenty of failed marriages,
it’s nice to see Lee and Blake,
who married in December 2017
going stronger than ever.
2.Big Cass and Carmella
In NXT, the team of Big Cass and Enzo Amore
was one of the most entertaining groups in modern history,
with Amore’s incredible mic skills
and Cass’s massive physique working well together.
Adding Carmella to the group made things even better
for both the fans
and the Superstars
with Cass and her starting a relationship
in the developmental brand,
before things got complicated.
In 2016, Cass and Enzo were called to the main roster
without Carmella,
and even though she joined a few months later,
the Staten-Island princess was moved to SmackDown,
with her boyfriend and Enzo staying on RAW.
While the pair tried to make things work,
something that was featured on Total Divas
eventually, things broke down between the two.
In 2017, the pair revealed they were no longer together,
with the 7-footer being released by the WWE
due to reported attitude problems a year later.
1.Alexa Bliss and Buddy Murphy
When Alexa Bliss joined the WWE
she entered the company with no prior in-ring experience
and While she received some training in NXT,
she quickly became the manager of Blake and Murphy.
As a manager, Bliss paid dividends on many occasions,
helping the group retain their NXT Tag Titles
and her and Murphy forming a real-life relationship.
In the spring of 2017, the pair announced their engagement
and even have a pet pig together
with Larry Steve having his own Instagram,
where fans can see
the pampered pig being spoilt by his Goddess mama.
While not being seen together,
the pair have both had major success
on the main roster,
with Alexa becoming a 5-time women’s championship,
and Murphy recently capturing the Cruiserweight Champion
in his home-town of Melbourne, Australia.
