#5 Seth Rollins (WWE Univeral Champion) and Becky Lynch (WWE RAW Women's Champion)
One of the biggest "power couples" in modern-day WWE, Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch have had an amazing relationship, which was made public by them in 2019. The winners of the 2019 Men's and Women's Royal Rumble matches respectively rose to the top together and walked out of WrestleMania 35 with championship gold around their waist.
WWE then decided to use their highly popular real-life relationship in the storyline as well. Seth and Becky started appearing on-screen together and even defended their titles together at Extreme Rules 2019 in a "Winner Takes All" match against Baron Corbin and Lacey Evans, where they defended their titles successfully.
The couple got engaged in August 2019 and earlier this year, in May 2020, Becky Lynch announced her pregnancy on Monday Night RAW, in a highly emotional segment. With Seth Rollins being a heel in his Monday Night Messiah gimmick, WWE did not acknowledge his real-life relationship with Becky at that time, but the couple continues to share details about their love life on social media with their fans.
#4 John Cena (WWE United States Champion) and Nikki Bella (Divas Champion)
One of the most popular couples of the 2010s in WWE was that of the "poster boy of WWE" John Cena and soon to become WWE Hall of Famer, Nikki Bella. The love-life of the couple was strongly featured on Total Bellas and later the company even used that for a storyline on the Road to WrestleMania 33, that saw John Cena and Nikki Bella take on The Miz and Maryse.
It was in 2015 when both of them were champions at the same time. At WrestleMania 31, John Cena defeated Rusev to become the United States Champion. At the same time, Nikki Bella was the Divas Champion, which she won in November 2014 and held it for ten months before dropping it to Charlotte Flair in September 2015.
It was at WrestleMania 33 where John Cena proposed to Nikki Bella in the middle of the ring in front of the entire WWE Universe. The couple was all set to get married in May 2018 but called off their engagement just a month before that. Nikki Bella is currently engaged to Russian dancer Artem Chigvintsev and the two recently had their first child together.
#3 The Undertaker (World Heavyweight Champion) and Michelle McCool (WWE Women's Champion)
The real-life relationship between The Undertaker and Michelle McCool was always kept off-screen by WWE, largely to maintain "kayfabe" and protect the Phenom's dark and supernatural gimmick. It was only recently that WWE portrayed a more humanized version of The Undertaker, with AJ Styles dragging Taker's wife into their feud this year at WrestleMania 36.
The Undertaker and Michelle McCool started dating sometime in 2007. It was in 2009 when both of them were champions at the same time in WWE. Michelle McCool won the WWE Women's Championship at The Bash in June 2009 by defeating Melina. In October 2009, The Undertaker defeated CM Punk at Hell in a Cell to win the World Heavyweight Championship.
In the recently released WWE Network docuseries "Undertaker: The Last Ride", fans got to see how amazing their relationship is. The Undertaker even credited Michelle for his success and thanked her for all the sacrifices that she had made. With the Phenom seemingly announcing his retirement from WWE, the couple could now spend more time together. Unless he decides to come back again!
#2 Jimmy Uso (WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champion) and Naomi (WWE SmackDown Women's Champion)
Jimmy Uso and Naomi are one of the most popular WWE couples. Having married in 2014, the couple has been heavily featured on WWE programming, in several storylines as well as on Total Divas.
It was in 2017 when Jimmy Uso and Naomi both held championship belts at the same time. On an episode of SmackDown in March 2017, The Usos defeated American Alpha to win the SmackDown Tag Team Championships, which they held for 124 days before dropping them to The New Day at WWE Battleground that year. Naomi, on the other hand, won the SmackDown Women's Championship at WrestleMania 33 in April 2017, thus making the husband-wife duo champions at the same time.
Both Jimmy Uso and Naomi compete on Friday Night SmackDown for WWE now and are major stars in the tag-team and Women's division of the brand and are highly popular among the WWE Universe as well. Naomi is a two-time SmackDown Women's Champion, while Jimmy Uso has been a six-time Tag Team Champion in WWE.
#1 Andrade (WWE United States Champion) and Charlotte Flair (NXT Women's Champion)
One of the newest yet biggest "power couples" in WWE recently is that of former NXT Champion Andrade and the record 12-time Women's Champion, Charlotte Flair. The couple has been dating for a long time now and got engaged in January 2020. While WWE hasn't acknowledged them as a couple on-screen in their programming, both Charlotte and Andrade are very active on their social media, where they constantly share their pictures with their fans.
It was earlier this year when both of them were champions at the same time. Andrade won the United States title in December 2019 when he defeated Rey Mysterio in a WWE house show at Madison Square Garden. He went on to hold the title until May 2020, when he dropped it to Apollo Crews on WWE RAW.
On the other hand, Charlotte Flair won the 2020 Women's Royal Rumble match and went on to challenge the NXT Women's Champion Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania 36, where she defeated her to become the new NXT Women's Champion. The Queen dropped the title to Io Shirai at NXT TakeOver: In Your House in June 2020.
