5 WWE women who proposed to men in the ring

#1 Summer Rae proposes to Rusev

In mid-2015, Rusev and Lana got into an angle with Dolph Ziggler, which saw Lana getting together with Ziggler, much to Rusev's disgust. Summer Rae got involved in the angle soon after and it led to her forming an alliance with Rusev. It all led to a match between Rusev and Ziggler at WWE SummerSlam, but the bout ended with a double count-out after both Lana and Summer interfered.

On an episode of WWE RAW, Rae got down on her knee and proposed to Rusev.

Summer's proposal:

Rusev initially said yes, but made it clear to Summer moments later that he wasn't going to put a ring on her finger yet. He wanted to have WWE gold on his waist and only then he would complete the engagement procession. Rusev later refused Summer's marriage proposal and it was revealed that he was engaged with Lana in real-life. Rae and Rusev's run as a couple ended and she later began managing Tyler Breeze.

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.
