5 WWE couples who recently split in real life

#5. WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray & Velvet Sky

WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray (FKA Bubba Ray Dudley) started dating former TNA Knockouts champion Velvet Sky in mid-2016 during their time in IMPACT Wrestling.

Shortly after starting dating, Sky praised her boyfriend in an interview with Sports Illustrated. She disclosed that he was very supportive of her and helped her believe in herself.

"I am so grateful to have Mark in my life. We talk about wrestling a lot together and he has an amazing mind for the business, but he is also an incredible person. He’s very supportive of me and so inspiring. He is so motivating and helps me believe in myself," she said.

The couple spent five years together. Nonetheless, they announced their breakup earlier this month. Last Tuesday, both Bully Ray and Velvet Sky made similar tweets regarding their split.

"[Velvet Sky] & I have decided to part ways amicably. There’s no animosity and we will always be cool, and we wish each other well in life. This will be the only public comment we make on the matter," Bully Ray stated in his tweet.

The WWE Hall of Famer is now an active competitor on the independent circuit. Meanwhile, Sky is currently a color commentator on NWA after retiring from an in-ring competition five years ago.
