This article, however, takes an in-depth look at 5 such bizarre couples who have proved why the "odd couple" concept is still a genius idea.
#5 Santino Marella and Beth Phoenix could be recognized as an original WWE odd couple
The pairing of Santino Marella and Beth Phoenix initially began when the latter pinned the former Intercontinental Champion upon her return to WWE RAW and the confrontation eventually led to them being paired together. Given that Santino and Phoenix were paired around 2008-09, they could really be considered as one of the original odd power couples of WWE.
The duo known as Glamarella together won the WWE Women's and Intercontinental Championship with Beth Phoenix pinning Mickie James and Marella pinning Kofi Kingston, respectively, at SummerSlam '08. With Marella by her side, Beth Phoenix, in particular, went on to enjoy a very successful year in WWE, as she defended the women's title on numerous occasions.
Not just that, The Glamazon also won the Slammy Award for the Diva of the Year and benefited the most, courtesy of the pairing.
As for Santino Marella though, he also enjoyed a formidable run with the WWE IC Championship, especially considering the fact that he was mostly recognized as a comedy act throughout his career.
