5 real-life WWE couples who never worked together on screen

#3. WWE Champion Brock Lesnar - Former Women's Champion Sable

Brock Lesnar made his main roster debut in 2002. A year later, Sable returned to WWE after being away for four years. In 2003, The Beast Incarnate and Sable started dating. In May 2006, they tied the knot.

Two years before he married Sable, Lesnar left Vince McMahon's company. Although he and his wife shared the locker room for several months, the couple never had the opportunity to work together.

In his book "Death Clutch: My Story of Determination, Domination, and Survival," Lesnar revealed that he was unhappy that Sable continued to work in the company after his departure. Hence, he asked her to quit.

"I wanted to marry Rena (Sable). However, before I could do this, I needed her to get out of WWE. 'If we want a relationship,' I told her, 'neither one of us can work for that company. We both know the long-term side effects of everything there.' That was my only demand," Brock Lesnar wrote in his book.

Sable quit her job in August 2004. Although she never returned to WWE, her husband made a comeback eight years later.

Lesnar recently captured yet another world title after defeating Big E, Seth Rollins, and Kevin Owens at Day 1. The Beast Incarnate will now defend his championship against Bobby Lashley at the Royal Rumble event.
