Recent WWE releases mean that there are significantly fewer couples in the company at present since many have been split in half or released altogether.

The likes of Charlotte Flair, Zelina Vega, and Nikki A.S.H. are now performing without their other half, whilst Lana, Rusev, Zack Ryder, and Chelsea Green have all been released.

Despite this, there are around a dozen WWE couples who have survived the talent cull and several who have actually been able to wrestle one another. Whilst the vast majority of matches on this list haven't happened in WWE, there are a number of current couples who have stood across the ring from one another and been part of the ultimate battle for supremacy.

The following list looks at just five current couples who have wrestled with each other in the past.


#5. Current WWE Superstars Mia Yim and Keith Lee

Mia Yim and Keith Lee have both been on hiatus from WWE in recent months. Lee recently revealed that he was out of action due to a battle with COVID-19 and heart inflammation.

Yim hasn't been a significant on-screen figure since members of RETRIBUTION went their separate ways earlier this year, whilst her partner, Keith Lee, recently made his return to RAW but is yet to step into a meaningful story.

Yim and Lee announced their engagement in February 2021.

The couple once worked together as a tag team in NXT, and were known as "Yimitless," but their relationship predates their stint in WWE and the duo has been known to stand on opposite sides of the ring.

Back in 2018, they went toe-to-toe at a Beyond Wrestling event, and interestingly, Yim came out on top when she shocked her partner with the victory roll. The match also saw her kick out of The Spirit Bomb, which is a move that has kept many male WWE Superstars down in the past.

Yim and Lee are yet to work together on the main roster, but now that both stars are on RAW, there is a chance that they could collaborate in the future.

#4. WWE Superstars John Morrison and Franky Monet

John Morrison was once a Tag Team Champion in WWE as part of MNM, before his release allowed him to work for several independent companies.

Whilst working outside of WWE, Morrison ended his relationship with former star Melina and then began dating Taya Valkyrie, who later became his wife. The couple married back in 2018 and Valkyrie has since made her way to WWE under the ring name Franky Monet.

Before Monet began making a name for herself in WWE, the couple wrestled for several other promotions together and went head-to-head in singles competition.

Morrison took advantage of the fact that it was his partner who was Champion in Lucha Underground back in 2016 and pinned her in her own dressing room to become DDT Pro Wrestling Ironman HeavyMetalweight Champion.

This isn't the only time the couple have faced off, but it is the only time that Morrison has been able to come out on top since Morrison admitted that he was once on the losing end of the exchange.

#3. WWE COO Triple H and CBO Stephanie McMahon

The biggest power couple in the history of WWE is also one of the only couples in the history of the company to have the opportunity to face off in a match.

The Game and Stephanie McMahon married back in 2003 after various on-screen storylines for the company allowed them to spark a romance. It was as part of these storylines that McMahon was able to face off against Triple H and was just one count away from becoming the first-ever female WWE Champion.

On an episode of RAW back in 2002, McMahon and Triple H faced off, in a Triple Threat match that also included Chris Jericho. In the end, Stephanie came up short when she was pinned by her future husband.

During the match, Stephanie almost pinned Jericho to become Champion, but it wasn't meant to be. Triple H and Stephanie have since gone on to work together several times in the company, most recently against Ronda Rousey and Kurt Angle at WrestleMania 34.

#2. Current WWE Superstars Sasha Banks and Sarath Ton

Sasha Banks is one of WWE's biggest stars at present, so much so that the former Women's Champion was forced to hide the fact that she had married for several months back in 2016.

The Boss married long-time partner Sarath Ton, who was known as Mikaze on the independent circuit, before joining WWE as a seamstress.

Banks and her husband began their relationship ahead of their stint in WWE and even crossed paths in the ring on one occasion.

Banks was unable to pick up the victory in a four-way match where she was the only female, but as seen above, this was something that the former Champion brought up as part of an episode of The Bump last year.

The Boss noted that she was proud of what she had accomplished when asked what she would tell the past version of herself. It was a fatal four-way elimination match and despite being the only female, Banks was interestingly not the first person to exit.

#1. WWE Superstar Candice LeRae and Johnny Gargano

Candice LeRae and Johnny Gargano have been making headlines this week after the WWE couple recently announced they are expecting their first child.

LeRae and Gargano are both currently part of the NXT brand and are involved in storylines, but it appears that this isn't something that is standing in the way of the couple starting a family.

Before the couple was able to wrestle together in WWE, LeRae and Gargano worked together several times on the Independent Circuit and really have achieved it all.

The couple even faced off against each other at Absolutely Intense Wrestling as shown above. As part of this match, Candice was able to come out on top when she reversed her future husband's finisher into a rollup.

The couple has since teamed up together several times whilst working together in NXT, but WWE is yet to allow the two stars to go one-on-one. Hopefully when Candice makes her in-ring WWE return, she will be able to face off against her husband one more time.
