The romance carousel in WWE will always keep on turning, with WWE creating some of the strangest of couples in recent years. While WWE has now enforced the rule that backstage personnel can’t be linked romantically to any on-screen talents, it hasn’t stopped many wrestlers from announcing that they are in relationships with fellow performers. At some point, these relationships always come to an end. This is where the problems then begin for WWE, because many of these stars don’t decide to split amicably, but instead cause a huge scene when it comes to their break-up.
There have been as many WWE breakups over the past few years as there have been couples announced, but not all of these couples have been able to retain their professionalism and be able to still see their ex every day at work. It isn’t just the break-up that is a problem, either. Sometimes the relationship reaches a point where it becomes quite ugly and the stars then realize that a split is their only option.
It’s not as easy to see someone you’re dating on a daily basis. Sometimes it does become too much for some people and this is where the problems begin. The following list looks at just 15 times where the relationships between fellow wrestlers have become ugly, whether it was before their break-up or they managed to move through it. Some of these moments perhaps shouldn’t have been shared so publicly at the time.
15. Enzo Amore And Liv Morgan
Enzo Amore is a former Cruiserweight Champion who came through the ranks in NXT alongside Big Cass. The duo was promoted to the main roster as a Tag Team last year.
While Enzo was down in NXT, it is reported that he helped his former Hooters colleague Liv Morgan to land a try-out with WWE that later led to her signing, and the two then began dating. The couple posted a number of cute photos to their Instagram pages and the WWE Universe seemed to be getting behind them as a couple, until a few weeks ago when Corey Graves revealed that Enzo had cheated on Liv. Liv then posted several tweets that showed that she was pretty annoyed at the way the relationship ended before she quickly moved on and is now reportedly in a relationship with former United Kingdom Champion Tyler Bate.
14. Mickie James And Kenny Dykstra
Mickie James is a former five-time Women’s Champion in WWE, but one of the most memorable things that Mickie James ever did involved her scandal with John Cena. Mickie and former Spirit Squad member Kenny were engaged back in 2007 before Mickie and John began a storyline on WWE TV.
This storyline then led to an affair between the two stars that reportedly went on for a number of months, an affair that Dykstra later found out about, and they decided to make public knowledge by sharing it on social media. Dykstra’s reaction to the affair got him fired by WWE and obviously, he called his engagement off. Even though Kenny returned to WWE TV following the brand split last year, he still holds a grudge against Cena for the fact that he not only took away his fiancée, but he essentially ended his wrestling career before it had ever really begun.
13. Terri Runnels And Goldust
Terri Runnels and Goldust worked together on WWE TV during the 1990s and they made one of the strangest couples that have ever been part of programming. It was Marlena and Goldust that really pushed the barriers of what was deemed acceptable during the Attitude Era in WWE at that time, and they had their own romance outside of WWE.
The couple’s divorce in the late 1990s became an awkward affair as Terri blamed Dustin’s father Dusty Rhodes for most of the problems the couple were having, since he would spread rumours about her being a gold-digger, and would tell other members of the WWE roster that he has been unfaithful. Their divorce got messy and the couple were less than friendly for a long time, even though it is now reported that the couple is finally on good terms and are able to retain this for the sake of their daughter.
