3 On-screen WWE proposals that were accepted, and 2 that were rejected

WWE has been churning out engaging storylines for decades on end. Fans who have been regular viewers for the past several years have witnessed some of the greatest angles in the history of pro-wrestling, that Vince McMahon has come up with. Storylines, in-ring segments, and matches collectively help the brand catch eyeballs and turn wrestlers into megastars. One of the biggest themes that WWE has used repeatedly in storylines is that of romantic relationships.

We have seen a long string of on-screen couples in WWE's storied history. With relationships, come proposals. In the following slideshow, we will be taking a look at some of the most memorable proposals in the history of WWE. To make matters more interesting, we will separate the list into two parts, and highlight the proposals that were accepted, as well as the ones that were rejected.

#5 Eddie Guerrero proposes to Chyna (accepted)

In early 2000, Eddie Guerrero made his way to WWE along with Chris Benoit, Dean Malenko, and Perry Saturn. Eddie soon fell for "The Ninth Wonder of the World", Chyna. and actively began pursuing her affections. Chyna, who was aligned with Jericho at the time, initially rejected Guerrero's advances. During a European title match between Guerrero and Jericho on an episode of RAW, Chyna turned on the latter and helped Eddie win the match. Chyna later defended her actions by stating that she couldn't resist Eddie's "Latino Heat".

Soon, Eddie proposed to Chyna on an episode of SmackDown, which she accepted, despite growing friction between the two over the past few weeks. In the end, the engagement between Eddie and Chyna was called off when the former was caught in the shower with two 'associates' of The Godfather. The incident led to Guerrero turning heel and reuniting with The Radicalz. The faction went on to feud with DX, which consisted of Chyna, The New Age Outlaws, and R-Truth.

#4 Paul Heyman proposes to AJ Lee (rejected)

AJ Lee's love-triangle storyline with CM Punk and Daniel Bryan saw her becoming the RAW General Manager after leaving Daniel Bryan at the altar during their on-screen marriage on RAW 1000. Lee began exacting revenge on both Punk and Bryan as soon as she assumed the role of the RAW GM. On an episode of WWE RAW, Punk berated Lee in the ring, but Paul Heyman had other things in mind.

He got down on one knee and proposed to AJ Lee as the thousands of fans in attendance cheered for Heyman. Heyman stated that together, he and Lee would become the most influential couple in WWE history, and would rule the company.

Lee, though taken aback at first, soon regained her composure and hit Heyman with a hard slap, before leaving. Lee stepped down from the position of GM on the October 22 episode of RAW and soon got involved in a storyline with John Cena. Her stint in WWE lasted for three more years. She retired soon after WrestleMania 31 in 2015 and hasn't made a return to the ring since then.

#3 Edge proposes to Vickie Guerrero (accepted)

Edge was engaged in a feud with The Undertaker for the better part of 2008. The Rated-R Superstar was also involved in a romantic angle with SmackDown GM Vickie Guerrero at the same time. This relationship helped Edge bag title opportunities and several other perks on the Blue brand. Around the same time, Edge formed his faction along with Chavo Guerrero and Major Brothers. Edge went on to defeat Rey Mysterio at WWE Royal Rumble and WWE No Way Out to retain his World Heavyweight title.

Edge's proposal:

Mere days before WWE WrestleMania 24, Edge proposed to Vickie on an episode of SmackDown. Guerrero accepted Edge's proposal. Tensions mounted between the duo months later, but Edge re-proposed and the wedding was on. In an interesting turn of events, Triple H revealed that Edge was cheating on Vickie with Alicia Fox, the wedding planner. An infuriated Vickie pitted Edge against The Undertaker inside Hell In A Cell at SummerSlam, which the former ended up losing. On the road to SummerSlam, Edge had turned on Chavo and Vickie, marking the end of the faction.

#2 AJ Lee proposes to CM Punk (rejected)

Back in 2012, AJ Lee was involved in a love triangle storyline with CM Punk and Daniel Bryan. Bryan and Punk feuded over the WWE title for months on end, with AJ showering Punk with her affections. Punk seemed disinterested though, and this didn't sit well with Lee. She proposed Punk on an episode of RAW, but Bryan interrupted the segment before Punk could respond to Lee's proposal.

Soon after, Punk, AJ, and Bryan shared the ring again on the July 9, 2012, edition of WWE RAW. This time around, Punk made it clear that he was rejecting Lee's proposal by stating that he isn't going to marry her. This angered AJ to no end, and she responded with a slap. Bryan told AJ to get together with him instead, but she ended up slapping him as well.

Lee later accepted Bryan's proposal and the marriage was on for RAW 1000. While exchanging vows with Bryan, Lee revealed that WWE Chairman Mr. McMahon had offered her the role of RAW GM, and she left him heartbroken in the ring.

#1 Bobby Lashley proposes to Lana (accepted)

The love triangle storyline involving Bobby Lashley, Lana, and Rusev kicked off on the season premiere of WWE RAW, last year. Soon, Lana made it known that she was in love with Lashley and was done with Rusev for good. On the December 16 episode of RAW, Lana heaped praise on Bobby as they stood in the ring, and asked him to propose her for marriage.

Lashley proposes to Lana:

Lashley initially surprised her by stating that he doesn't like it when someone tells him what to do, but then added that Lana is an exception. Lashley got down on his knees and proposed to Lana, which the latter immediately accepted. On the final RAW of 2019, Lashley and Lana had their wedding interrupted by Rusev and a returning Liv Morgan, who professed her love for Lana. This led to a Mixed Tag Team match involving the quartet, which Lana and Lashley eventually won. Soon after, Rusev was released by WWE and Lana's on-screen relationship with Lashley ended when she accidentally cost him the WWE title at Backlash 2020.
