5 former WWE couples and the story of how they met

#3. Former WWE NXT Superstar Adam Cole and AEW Women’s Champion Britt Baker started dating in 2017

Former WWE NXT Superstar Adam Cole and Britt Baker are currently among the most recognizable couples in AEW. They have done well in their respective divisions and are making waves across the wrestling industry.

While Cole had a great run in WWE NXT, Baker only worked a few matches for the company. Their relationship started back in 2017, outside WWE. Cole revealed in an interview that it wasn’t easy for him to convince Baker to go on a date with him:

"So, funny enough, I think Britt Baker's story, I'm assuming, it's very accurate but is, even before Bumble, cause Bumble is where it all started; we were actually Facebook friends before that. We never had conversations there or anything. We had matched up on Bumble I guess cause she was in Hershey's, Pennsylvania which is very close to where I was living at the time and she sent me a message saying 'who's this guy' and it was my picture. So we had been talking back and forth and either I got busy or she got busy so it was like this back and forth discussion type of thing and I remember one day I reached out because I thought she was beautiful and I kept asking her for going on a date and she was very hesitant about it because she didn't want to date a wrestler and I kept pressing the issue," Adam Cole said on Oral Sessions with Renee Paquette

The Panama City Playboy has now jumped ship from WWE to AEW. The move allows him to work for the same company as his fiancee, and the two can likely manage their schedules better.
