5 Pro-wrestling power couples of today

The idea of power couples is nothing new. Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall ruled Hollywood in the 1950s. In the 1960s, it was Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton who made the biggest waves in their industry. If you fast forward to the 1990s, power couples became political with Bill and Hillary Clinton.

#1 Edge and Beth Pheonix

She is the Glamazon. He's the Rated R Superstar. Together they're a Hall of Fame couple who, though retired, still seem to be around important WWE events all the same.

Beth Pheonix is an early pioneer of the Evolution of Women's Wrestling. When she began her career in the WWE, the term Diva was still used to define in-ring talent. Thanks to Beth's athleticism and charisma, she managed to change people's perceptions of what women's wrestling could be.

Edge has been a part of some of the biggest events in WWE's Attitude Era. Besides being a former world champion, he helped innovate the TLC match and successfully bridged the Attitude and Ruthless Aggression eras.

The couple married in 2016 and have two children.

#2 Macho Man Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth

Though their tumultuous marriage would eventually come to an end, Macho Man and Elizabeth were one of wrestling's biggest power couples of the 1980s.

The mercurial Macho Man could rub his peers the wrong way, but his wife Elizabeth would often play the role of ambassador and smooth over hurt feelings in the locker room. While most women managers and valets of the era wore skimpy clothing, Elizabeth always presented a portrait of class and dignity, complimenting Macho Man's 'savage' and wild ways.

#3 Maria Kanellis and Mike Bennett

Mike Bennett is a decent wrestler--he could hang with the ROH crowd--but his character isn't the most compelling, and he often struggled to resonate with the fans as either face or heel.

That all changed when he began his relationship with Maria Kanellis. The former model and WWE Divas champion gave Bennett instant heel heat just by virtue of jealousy among wrestling fans.

The indie darling American Dragon and model/actress/diva Brie Bella may not seem like an obvious match, but they compliment each other well.

Daniel Bryan is a celebrated former world champion who has recently returned to in-ring action. His wife Brie is not only an in-ring performer and personality she is also the star of both Total Divas and Total Bellas which air on the E network.

#5. Johnny Gargano and Candace LaRae

Johnny Wrestling and his spouse the wild Ms. LaRae met on the indie circuit and continued their relationship after Johnny made it to the big leagues of NXT.

Patiently, Johnny paved the way for his wife to join the organization, and they present a united front both on and off screen. They are one of the rare power couples who put their in-ring career first.
