5 couples in wrestling you might not have known of
The WWE Universe has witnessed - or will be witnessing - a few weddings among their stars as of late. The current Universal Champion Seth Rollins recently got engaged to Becky Lynch, creating quite a buzz among the WWE family.
Parallel to the aforementioned, Shawn Spears (Tye Dillinger) and Peyton Royce also tied the knot, much to the delight of the fans. And Finn Balor recently got hitched to his girlfriend, Veronica Rodriguez of Fox Sports Mexico. This is not the first time that fellow wrestlers have gotten engaged or married over the past few years.
Although some embrace the publicity around their high-profile association, the others are quite reserved and often sway away from the limelight. While the likes of Miz-Maryse, Triple H-Stephanie McMahon and Johnny Gargano-Candice le Rae have also been involved in storylines, there are a few wrestling couples you would be surprised to know we're engaged or married.
Here are five such WWE superstars who are currently married or engaged to fellow colleagues or wrestlers from another promotion.
#5 Killian Dain and Nikki Cross
Nikki Cross has had a decent 2019, with the former NXT star recently winning the Women's Tag Team Championship with Alexa Bliss. Outside the ring, not many know the fact that she is married to NXT Superstar and former SAnitY stablemate, Killian Dain. The couple dated for a long time before tying the knot at a venue in Scotland earlier in the year.
While Nikki Cross has enjoyed considerable success in the business since getting the call-up to WWE, Killian Dain is slowly finding his feet in the singles division in NXT. Currently feuding with Matt Riddle over the past few weeks, Dain has finally come through on his own and is being pushed as a credible singles competitor in the mold of Braun Strowman and former NXT star, Lars Sullivan.
With WWE's policy of having couples on the same show, one can expect a call up for Killian Dain pretty soon given his undeniable ability in the ring.
