#14 Ricochet and Kacy Catanzaro wrestled as a tag team in WWE

Ricochet and Kacy Catanzaro signed their WWE contracts a few months apart. While Ricochet is the more accomplished Superstar in this business out of the two, Kacy was already famous before WWE thanks to her career as an obstacle competitor.

During their time in NXT, Kacy & Ricochet teamed up together in NXT house shows. The couple faced The Velveteen Dream and Vanessa Borne in 2018, followed by another mixed-tag team match against Kona Reeves and Vanessa Borne.

In early 2019, the duo faced Rhea Ripley and Shane Thorne, shortly after which Ricochet appeared on WWE's main roster.


#13 Roderick Strong & Marina Shafir wrestled as a tag team in WWE

Roderick Strong has been married to Marina Shafir since 2018, and they also have a son together. Both of them have been a part of NXT for most of their careers in WWE.

In 2019, Roderick and Marina teamed-up at NXT house shows on two separate occasions. The first time around, Kyle O'Reilly also teamed up with the duo in a six-person tag team match against Matt Riddle, Mia Yim, and Damian Priest. Several months later, Roderick Strong & Marina Shafir faced Matt Riddle & Rhea Ripley.

The married couple lost on both occasions.

#12 & #11 Keith Lee and Mia Yim and Johnny Gargano and Candice LeRae have wrestled each other in mixed tag team matches on WWE NXT

Mia Yim and Keith Lee began dating before they joined the WWE. Candice LeRae and Johnny Gargano have been married since 2016.

More recently, both couples faced each other in two separate mixed tag team matches in May and June 2020. While both Lee & Yim (Reckoning) were called up to WWE RAW, Gargano and LeRae remain an integral part of WWE NXT.

Gargano and LeRae last wrestled as a tag team against Damian Priest and Io Shirai in September and they managed to defeat the latter team successfully.


#10 Cesaro and Sara Amato wrestled in a tag team outside of WWE

Sara Amato is currently a retired professional wrestler who is WWE NXT's Assistant Head Coach and producer, based at the Performance Center.

Both Cesaro and Sara Amato have wrestled against each other as well as together in a tag team, outside of WWE. The longtime couple teamed up against Manami Toyota & Mike Quackenbush in a CHIKARA event back in 2010, among various other instances.


#9 Killian Dain and Nikki Cross wrestled together as part of the Sanity stable in WWE

Nikki Cross has been married to Killian Dain since 2019. Both of them have teamed up together in multi-person tag matches as part of the now-defunct Sanity stable.

While Nikki Cross is currently on the main roster, Killian Dain returned to WWE NXT after the Sanity group disbanded.

#8: Karrion Kross and Scarlett once wrestled in a tag team outside of WWE

Although Scarlett is mostly recognized as the manager/valet of Karrion Kross in WWE, she has wrestled inside the ring several times in the past.

For Bar Wrestling, Scarlett once teamed-up with her boyfriend along with Rickey Shane Page in a six-person tag team match against Eric Watts, Johnny Yuma, and Kevin Martenson.

Karrion Kross is currently inactive due to a separated shoulder, otherwise, he was one of the hottest acts in WWE NXT with Scarlett by his side.


#7 Bianca Belair and Montez Ford have teamed up together in WWE

Bianca Belair and Montez Ford have been married to each other since 2018. Back in 2019, the real-life WWE couple was involved in a six-person tag team match along with Angelo Dawkins against Adam Cole, Kyle O'Reilly, and Marina Shafir.

While that match occurred in an NXT house show, The Street Profits & Bianca Belair teamed up on the WWE RAW episode after WrestleMania 36 and drew mainstream attention after defeating Angel Garza, Austin Theory, and Zelina Vega on that show.

Montez Ford (w/ Angelo Dawkins) and Bianca Belair were drafted to WWE SmackDown during the 2020 WWE Draft.


#6 Natalya and Tyson Kidd have wrestled as a tag team in WWE

Tyson Kidd is currently signed to WWE as a producer. Tyson has been retired from in-ring action ever since he suffered a spinal cord injury during a non-televised match in 2015.

But from 2009 to 2015, the Canadian duo has been on the same side of the equation in six-person tag matches as well as mixed tag team matches.

Tyson Kidd and Natalya have been married to each other since 2013.

#5 & #4 The Miz and Maryse and Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella wrestled each other in a mixed tag team match during WWE Hell in a Cell 2018

Maryse is currently signed to WWE and has opened up about a potential return in the future. Nowadays, she appears on USA Network's 'Miz & Mrs.' show that The Miz frequently plugs on WWE TV. Both of them have been married since 2014.

The duo was able to defeat Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella in a mixed tag team match at Hell in a Cell 2018. Miz and Maryse also faced John Cena & Nikki Bella at WrestleMania 33.

Daniel Bryan & Brie Bella have been married since 2014 as well. The Bella Twins have talked about returning to WWE recently, and both of them often make headlines as part of their show, 'Total Bellas'.

It's interesting how Maryse and Brie Bella's lives have mirrored each other throughout all these years. All of Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella's previous mixed tag team encounters before HIAC 2018 have involved Maryse to some extent.


#3: Jimmy Uso and Naomi have wrestled as a tag team in WWE

Jimmy Uso and Naomi have been married to each other since 2014. Interestingly, both of them were on opposite teams during an 8-person mixed tag team match at a WWE Superstars taping in 2013.

Since then, Naomi and Jimmy Uso have been a part of several 6-person tag team matches alongside Jey Uso. With Roman Reigns' bloodline being an integral part of WWE nowadays, it is possible that the aforementioned couple could team up together sometime in the near future.

#2: Triple H and Stephanie McMahon have teamed up together in WWE

Triple H and Stephanie McMahon have been recognized as WWE's power couple for years now. Both of them officially married each other way back in 2003.

They have been a part of the same team for only five separate occasions throughout WWE history.

Four of those instances have involved Kurt Angle, with the most recent instance being Ronda Rousey's WWE in-ring debut at WrestleMania 34, where she teamed up with Kurt Angle and defeated Triple H & Stephanie McMahon.


#1: Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch have wrestled in mixed tag team matches in WWE in 2019

When Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch were on top of WWE throughout 2019, they teamed-up in three separate mixed tag matches during the month of July, with two of them occurring on WWE RAW.

In the first instance, Rollins & Lynch defeated Mike & Maria Kanellis. The second time around, Rollins & Lynch defeated Andrade & Zelina Vega. Their last team-up occurred at Extreme Rules, where Seth Rollins & Becky Lynch defeated King Corbin & Lacey Evans to retain the WWE Universal Championship and the WWE Raw Women's Title, respectively.

Currently, Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch are expecting their first child together. Becky Lynch is expected to give birth in December 2020.
