8 real-life WWE couples who feuded against each other
Dozens of real-life couples have worked at WWE over the years. Some came into the company along with their partners. Meanwhile, others found the love of their lives while working at the promotion.
The company has tried to keep most couples on the same brand to ensure they get to spend time together and share a similar travel schedule. Working for the same brand has also allowed their paths to cross on screen as part of various rivalries.
A recent example of this os Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch working together. Additionally, many couples have also worked opposite each other in major storylines. Their chemistry helped many feuds reach their boiling point.
Let's look at eight real-life WWE couples who had memorable feuds against each other.
#8. Goldust and Marlena made a great couple early on

Goldust debuted in WWE with his manager Marlena. The two shared a similar gimmick and really complimented each other on-screen. Both superstars were married in real life during their storyline.
Goldust and Marlena were in a storyline with Brian Pillman before he tragically passed away. It seemed WWE was planting the seeds for a rift between the couple at the time. In November 1997, Goldust split with Marlena and refused to cooperate with his Survivor Series teammates, which turned him into a heel.
It turned out to be a short but good feud between the real-life couple. Goldust revealed Luna Vachon as his new manager soon after splitting with Marlena.
#7. Marc Mero and Sable had a great rivalry in WWE

Marc Mero and Sable met in WCW before the couple were signed by WWE. Many believe that Vince McMahon was more interested in having Sable onboard than Mero.
Mero debuted in 1996 at WrestleMania XII and saved Sable from Triple H. Sable managed Mero for some time, but cracks began to form in their on-screen relationship, as he grew jealous and refused to let Sable get the spotlight.
The two got into a rivalry where Sable got the better of Mero right away. She later teamed up with newcomer Edge at SummerSlam in 1998 to defeat Jacqueline and Mero.
Mero and Sable left the company in 1999. While Sable re-signed, Mero went on to join other promotions before retiring. The couple later divorced in real life in 2004. Sable then started dating Brock Lesnar, and the two married in 2006.
