5 WWE/AEW Superstars' wives you may not know were/are in the wrestling business

#4. WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels – Rebecca Curci

Shawn Michaels is a WWE legend and Hall of Famer. Nonetheless, many fans might not know that Michaels' wife was also in the wrestling business.

The Heartbreak Kid married Rebecca Curci in March 1999. Less than two years earlier, Curci was taking her first step in the wrestling industry. She debuted on World Championship Wrestling in September 1997 as Whisper of the Nitro girls.

The Nitro Girls were a dance team that performed dance routines to entertain the live crowds on WCW Nitro.

Michaels liked Curci after seeing her on TV. A friend of his then introduced them. They spent two years dating before tying the knot. After their marriage, Curci left WCW and retired.

In the following years, Curci made a few appearances on WWE alongside her husband. Her most memorable appearance came in 2008 when Michaels was feuding with Chris Jericho. During a segment, Jericho accidentally punched Curci. She was hurt for real and suffered a bruised lip. Jericho later apologized to the couple backstage.

The former Nitro Girl also attended several WWE shows to support her husband, and accompanied him to a few Hall of Fame ceremonies. She has appeared in a few WWE documentaries, too.

Shawn Michaels is currently a coach at the WWE Performance Center. He is also Triple H's right-hand man in NXT.
