5 WWE Superstars who married Tough Enough contestants

#3. Former WWE Superstar Wesley Blake - Sara Lee

Wesley Blake joined WWE in June 2013 and made his NXT debut in January 2014. Nearly a year later, his future wife Sara Lee participated in the sixth season of Tough Enough.

In an interview with Chris Van Vliet, Blake disclosed how he first met the woman who later became his spouse.

"We met at the Performance Center. When Tough Enough was coming out I used to go to a friend’s apartment and we used to watch it. I will never forget when they announced the 11 Tough Enough people. When Sarah came across the screen, I said to the guys, 'I don’t know what it is, but I think she is the most beautiful woman I have ever laid my eyes on.' It was crazy, this was before the show was even a thing. Just by fate, she ends up winning it," he said.

Sara Lee went on to win the sixth season of Tough Enough, alongside Josh Bredl, to earn a $250,000 one-year WWE contract. She then joined Blake in NXT.

"We started talking at the NXT Combine. We were doing some weight room testing. We did the rower and I did so much where I threw up. I was in the weight room, head over a trash can as the girls were about to start, great first impression [laughs]. She was so sweet that later on that night she messaged me on Twitter saying 'Hey I hope you feel better.' And from there it just took off," Blake added.

Lee spent only one year in WWE, during which she competed in only a few matches at some NXT live events. In September 2016, WWE released her from her contract. Less than a year later, she welcomed her first child with Blake. The couple then tied the knot in December 2017. Two years later, they had their second child.

Lee has not competed since 2016. Meanwhile, her husband continued to work in WWE until earlier this year. Last April, WWE released the former NXT Tag Team Champion from his contract. Three months later, Blake and his wife welcomed their third child.
