5 WWE Romances that went sour backstage

Chyna and Triple H were one of the most popular pairings in WWE historyThat WWE is a scripted show is one of the world’s most open secrets. But we aren’t here to chastise the unrealistic nature of the franchise due to two reasons: 1. Some of the scripts are actually bloody good (no pun intended) and 2. Let’s face it scripted or not, we love it.However, even though everyone’s favourite wrestling show is scripted, some events do cross the threshold over to realism especially if romance is the subject concerned. We’ve seen real feeling creep in, in numerous reality shows and WWE is no different.That said, let’s take a look at 5 WWE Romances That Went Sour Backstage.

#5 Lex Luger and Elizabeth

Lex Luger and Miss Elizabeth

Miss Elizabeth holds the distinction of being a part of not one but two WWE romances, the second of which you’ll read about later. After her divorce from Randy Savage, Elizabeth was named as manager of Lex Luger in 1999 and the pair soon developed romantic feelings for each other.

Although the pair never married, they began a live-in relationship which soon turned ugly after reports of a domestic violence incident which left Elizabeth with two bruised eyes. Less than a month after the domestic dispute incident, Elizabeth was found dead by Luger on May 1, 2003 due to a fatal mix of prescription drugs and vodka at the age of 42. Elizabeth’s death affected Luger badly and was the catalyst in him turning his lopsided life around.
