WWE Superstars have one of the toughest jobs in the world. They need to be on the road for a significant part of the year and are away from their families for extended periods of time.

Being on the road for such a long time tends to give birth to new friendships and relationships. WWE's storied history has seen a long string of relationships being formed simply because the two people in question were traveling together or were paired together on TV. On a few rare occasions, relationships were formed due to the power of social media and direct messaging. In the following list, we will take a look at two WWE couples that met through Twitter, and three that were formed backstage.

While Rusev was working in WWE NXT, he was paired with Lana. In storyline, Rusev made her his "social ambassador". The duo made its main roster debut in early 2014, with Rusev running roughshod over several lower-card Superstars in a span of weeks. In real life, Rusev and Lana were getting closer and closer with each passing day. On July 29, 2016, the couple finally got hitched, and have been married ever since.

Rusev and Lana have been featured in controversial WWE storylines in the past

Rusev and Lana were involved in a couple of romantic angles during their WWE stint. The first one saw Rusev aligning with Summer Rae, and Lana showing interest in Dolph Ziggler. The second angle took place last year and continued over to 2020. The storyline saw Lana and Bobby Lashley getting together and feuding with Rusev. The Bulgarian Brute was released by WWE in April, after being on the shelf for weeks on end. He currently wrestles in AEW under the moniker of Miro.
