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

#1. Women's Tag Team Champion Carmella - WWE Commentator Corey Graves

Corey Graves signed with WWE in 2011 after competing for nearly a decade on the independent circuit. In 2013, his current fiancé Carmella also joined Vince McMahon's company.

The two superstars shared the NXT locker room for a few months. But they never worked together until Graves announced his retirement from in-ring action in December 2014 due to injury.

Since Graves' retirement, he has become a color commentator and backstage interviewer. Meanwhile, the self-proclaimed Most Beautiful Woman in WWE made her main roster debut in 2016, and has become one of the top female competitors ever since. She currently holds the Women's Tag Team Championships alongside Queen Zelina.

Graves and Carmella started dating in 2019. The former NXT Tag Team Champion was still going through divorce proceedings from his first wife at the time. Hence, a few fans on social media accused Carmella of being a homewrecker.

The Princess of Staten Island addressed these accusations in an episode of Total Divas.

"When Corey and I started dating, he was already going through a divorce and he’d moved out. He has his own place. She has hers (...) I always follow the rules. I never f***ing do anything wrong(...) I even had anxiety [at] the thought of even entertaining the idea of dating him," she told Sonya Deville.

Carmella and Graves are currently on Monday Night RAW. Last October, the couple announced their engagement.
