On top of offering pro wrestlers a platform and a paycheck, the WWE also serves as a way for couples to meet.
While there have been plenty of solid romances to come out of pro wrestling—from Triple H and Stephanie McMahon to Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella—there’s been plenty of rocky ones, such as Macho Man Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth.
While many relationships in the WWE appear stable on the surface, there have been warning signs that indicate a breakup could soon be around the corner. All couples below have some affiliation with the WWE and may not be together by the time 2020 rolls around.
