5 WCW couples we didn't see in WWE

#1 Lex Luger and Miss Elizabeth

Lex Luger brought back Miss Elizabeth as his manager in late 1999, and soon after he helped Sting win the WCW World title. Luger then began having issues with Sting, and also started treating Miss Elizabeth badly around this time. This led to a match between Luger and Sting, which saw Elizabeth turning on the latter. The association was nowhere close to the magic that Miss Elizabeth and Randy Savage had created during their run in WWE in the late 80s.

Elizabeth wrestled her first official bout against Daffney in May 2000. Her contract expired in August 2000, and she quietly left WCW. After WCW was bought off by Vince McMahon, Luger refused to return to WWE.

He made several appearances for Impact Wrestling, and also inducted Sting into the TNA Hall of Fame in October 2012. Elizabeth died on May 1, 2003, due to acute toxicity. She was living with Luger at the time and he was the one who called 911 to report that she wasn't breathing.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
