Best Wrestling Couples Throughout History

Best Wrestling Couples Throughout History:

In honor of Valentine’s Day being last week, I want to take this time to celebrate some of the best wresting couples throughout history.

Miss Elizabeth and Macho Man Randy Savage- This couple is my all-time favorite couple in wrestling. This couple was adored by fans in the 1980’s and 1990’s. As the valet to Macho Man Randy Savage, Miss Elizabeth showed elegance and sophistication. Despite their brief separation in 1989, their reunion at Wrestlemania VII would still bring an emotional response from the fans. Miss Elizabeth and Randy Savage would soon marry in the ring at WWF Summerslam 1991. Tragically, the real-life love story of this couple resulted in divorce and both Miss Elizabeth and Randy Savage are now deceased.

Shawn Michaels and Whisper- This couple is my second favorite couple in wrestling history. Whisper started her career as a WCW Nitro Girl in October 1997. She would leave WCW in 1999 to marry World Wrestling Federation superstar Shawn Michaels, thus ending her career in the wrestling business despite sporadic appearances in WWE alongside her husband. Now going by her real name, Rebecca, her and her now-retired husband, who goes by his real name, Michael Hickenbottom have been blessed with two children, a son and daughter.

Maryse Ouellet and The Miz- While this couple had a brief WWE storyline together in 2009; their real life relationship has lasted much longer. While Maryse no longer works for WWE, this couple recently became engaged on February 21, 2013.

Stephanie McMahon and Triple H- This couple also shared a storyline together, starting in 1999-2002 and from that sparked a real-life romance. Stephanie has made sporadic appearances with her husband since then. The couple became engaged on February 14, 2003 and has happily been married since October 25, 2003. They also have three daughters.

Michelle McCool and The Undertaker-  This couple has been romantically linked since 2007. Michelle McCool married The Undertaker, otherwise known by his real name, Mark Calaway on June 26, 2010.  Michelle McCool is now retired from wrestling but is happily living her life with the Undertaker as a devoted wife and mother, having had a daughter with him on August 29, 2012.

Booker T and Sharmell- This couple met while both Booker T and Sharmell worked in WCW, also known as World Championship Wrestling. While Booker T wrestled there, Sharmell was a WCW Nitro Girl. The couple eventually married in February 2005. Since then, Sharmell has made occasional appearances with her husband in both Total Nonstop Action Wrestling and World Wrestling Entertainment, even performing a storyline with him where they were royalty. Sharmell and Booker T also welcomed twins, a boy and girl on August 5, 2010.

Maria Kanellis and Mike Bennett- After confirming her relationship in December 2011, former WWE Diva Maria Kanellis would make her Ring of Honor debut, accompanying her boyfriend to the ring at the Final Battle pay-per-view for his match against El Generico and Jay Lethal for the ROH World Television Championship. Unfortunately, Mike Bennett was unsuccessful in capturing the title but Maria Kanellis would continue to accompany him, leading her to be declared “The First Lady of ROH”.  On November 29, 2012, Maria Kanellis announced her engagement to Mike Bennett publicly on Twitter.
