It is very difficult for celebrities to hide their private life because they are surrounded by cameras all the time. However, in the case of professional wrestlers, there is an additional pressure of the hectic schedule they have to follow.

Let us take the example of Vince McMahon's wrestling promotion, WWE. The WWE superstars are on the road, performing in innumerable arenas worldwide for 300+ days a year. They spend time with their families only when they are dealing with an injury apart from the Christmas holidays they get.

Still, the WWE superstars sacrifice that just for the sake of the entertainment of the WWE Universe.

Given that the professional wrestlers are extremely passionate about wrestling, 9 out of 10 wrestlers tend to have a relationship with a person who works in the same stream. Couples like Aleister Black - Zelina Vega, Andrade - Charlotte Flair, Seth Rollins - Becky Lynch, The Miz - Maryse, Tyler Bate - Liv Morgan and many more.

The "under the radar" couple of the wrestling industry

He won every title possible and was once even considered the next face of the company. In the same wrestling promotion, he found his life partner in backstage interviewer, Renee Young.

Though Renee Young is yet to wrestle a match inside the squared circle, she is more famous than few members of the WWE roster. She became the first ever female commentator in WWE's history when she took up a role at RAW's commentary desk.

Young was once rumored to make her in-ring debut in a mixed tag team match, where she would pair up with Dean Ambrose to take on the Miz and Maryse. Unfortunately, that match never came to fruition and now that Ambrose has left WWE, this match will never happen.
