5 WWE pairings that led to real-life marriages

Enter caption

The world of WWE often blends reality and fiction together. A lot of Superstar gimmicks are inspired by events or beliefs from their real-life persona, prime examples of this being CM Punk's straight edge persona and Daniel Bryan's gimmick as The New Daniel Bryan.

Since the line between reality and fiction often gets blurry, it is natural that quite a few of the on-screen pairings lead to real life romances backstage. There are many on-screen pairings where the Superstars have ended up dating each other.

Some of these have even led up to marriages. Here is a list of all the WWE Superstars whose on-screen pair up led to a real-life romance and the Superstars involved proceeded to tie the knot.


#5 Natalya Neidhart and Tyson Kidd

Natalya and Tyson Kidd have actually known each other since they were 12. Tyson was a close friend of the Hart family and graduated from the Hart Dungeon. So technically, this isn't an on-screen pair up that led to a marriage.

It is interesting to note, however, that this WWE couple was part of the stable known as The Hart Dynasty. The team comprised of Tyson Kidd and David Hart Smith with Natalya acting as their manager. They made quite a mark on the WWE landscape capturing several titles during their short reign, including the United States Championship (Bret Hart) and the Tag team Championship.

This cat-loving couple started dating all the way back in 2001 before either of them had debuted in the WWE. The two never quite got around to marrying until Total Divas came around.

According to Natalya herself "He never proposed. I don't think we ever had a day off to have a wedding. Working at WWE was like, we land on Wednesday, we go to the gym on Thursday, we fly out on Friday. So it was like, do we have the wedding in Vegas at the little white chapel?"

Natalya admits that being a part of Total Divas is the reason they had an official ceremony and got married. "Total Divas just took charge and they planned a wedding for us in five weeks."
