Romantic WWE Couples We Never Saw (But Would Have Been Fantastic)

WWE loves a good romantic couple wrestling angle, from Hulk Hogan’s “lust in his eyes” during the MegaPowers Explosion storyline to Otis and Mandy Rose poolside in recent years. While some onscreen romances are also offscreen (Randy Savage and Elizabeth or Triple H and Stephanie) many are in kayfabe only. Kane did not really impregnate Lita, and Mark Henry did not really have sexual relations with Mae Young. WWE has learned a romantic couple angle can spice up the entertainment value and add quality depth to their characters.

If WWE could combine wrestlers from any generation for romantic angles, what would that look like? Would a performer from the Golden Era reach greater heights with a romantic relationship with a present-day performer? Would a New Generation Star be better combined with someone from the Ruthless Aggression Era? Let’s look at 10 of the very best fantasy couples in WWE history.

Toni Storm & Shawn Michaels

A Timeless Rocker Couple

Toni Storm’s attire in WWE looked like a version of Shawn Michaels’ attire in the mid 1990s. The two performers have a bit of a late ’80s rock (ers) group look and would very much compliment each other in appearance. Both performers have long blonde hair and physiques that they do not mind showing off. The Heartbreak Kid and Timeless Toni would have made an incredible WWE romantic couple. Michaels started off his HBK gimmick with Sensational Sherri in his corner. Just imagine if that was Toni Storm with Michaels. As all storyline couples do, eventually “HBStorm” (couple name) would break up, but could be linked together in WWE history.

Rhea Ripley & Crush

Original Judgment Day

Crush would wear black and purple and add some face paint to his singles heel run in the New Generation of WWE. Looking back at him now, he looks like the original member of WWE’s Judgment Day. Crush was a dominating figure that stood 6’6 and weighed over 300 pounds. His presence would match well with the Eradicator Rhea Ripley. Few women have ever dominated the squared circle like Ripley. Crush and the Eradicator could be a match made in Heaven. Their couple name of “CRipley” also seems like something WWE would play with. Or maybe WWE replaced Damian Priest and Ripley and Crush were the first Terror Twins.

Sensational Sherri & Seth Rollins

Who Would Dress The Most Flamboyant?

You would most definitely not find a more eccentrically dressed couple than a combination of Sensational Sherri and Seth Freakin Rollins. Both characters are known for their over-the-top fashion sense. Sherri would help Macho King Randy Savage during the last years of the WWE Golden Era and then team up with her boy toy Shawn Michaels in the New Generation.

Yet, can we imagine a present-day Sherri with Rollins. Sherri could go in the ring, during a time that women didn’t really perform inside the squared circle. Sherri in today’s WWE could reach heights that her character couldn’t have imagined in her prime. The couple would also have been incredible if it was Rollins performing in place of the Macho Man. The “Sensational Freaks” would have been a must-see TV.

Isla Dawn & Papa Shango

Supernatural Combination

Papa Shango gets a lot of complaints for the way he played the voodoo practioner in the New Generation of WWE. Yet, imagine Shango with a sexy partner like Isla Dawn competing in the modern WWE (or any Generation after 1996). Without the cartoonish restraints of the New Generation of WWE, the voodoo master and the unholy witch could have been a scary yet successful combination. While Shango would go on and find success as the Godfather in the Attitude Era, his voodoo character still had so much to achieve. Dawn was an underrated competitor in the modern WWE, but with Papa Shango by her (dark) side, things could have been much different.

Mandy Rose & Lex Luger

God’s Greatest Total Package

If the Greek gods were sculpting professional wrestlers, Mandy Rose and Lex Luger would be their muses. While Luger and Rose would find success as faces in their careers, they would be destined to be a heel couple. Luger’s “Narcissist” gimmick would be the perfect outlet for both performers as a romantic couple. Admiring their incredible physiques and being more in love with themselves than each other would be the perfect gimmick. You have to think WWE would play off their names and call them some form of “Sexy Mexy”. Ultimately, their love for self would lead to this couple’s breakup, which would mean no mirror would be safe.

Alexa Bliss & Andre The Giant

Team Little Big 2.0

The WWE Universe fell in love with Alexa Bliss and Braun Strowman during their Team Little Big storyline in 2018. The drastic physical differences between the 5-foot of fury Alexa Bliss and the Monster Among Men Braun Strowman were eye-catching. Just imagine Andre the Giant, who would dwarf the 6’8 Strowman. The world saw Andre the Giant’s softer side in the movie The Princess Bride and WWE could play into that with his relationship with Alexa. Ultimately, Alexa turning heel and using Andre to do her bidding seems like a plausible storyline. The Goddess would have no limits with her personal giant.

Sol Ruca & Rob Van Dam

Most Flexible Couple

Hard to imagine two more laid-back, cool and athletic performers than NXT’s Sol Ruca and WWE Hall of Famer Rob Van Dam. This couple could put on a show inside the ring. Both have movesets that are as impressive as any in any WWE Era. Watching a romantic relationship develop between the two lovable characters would be golden WWE television. RVD and Sol could shoot so many fun vignettes on the beach or in the gym being their naturally hippie characters. In the ring, watching the couple copycat each other’s movesets like Essa Rios and Lita would entertain a crowd. RVD would assuredly refer to her as his Sol-mate.

Sunny & Jesse The Body Ventura

The Predator Star And AOL Queen

It would be impossible to find new superstars with more ability to self-promote than Sunny and Jesse Ventura. Both performers would wear (or not wear) just about anything to help promote their characters and their careers. Ventura’s ability to talk and Sunny’s ability to walk would make them a powerhouse couple.

With their sex appeals and hot takes leading the way this couple could have dominated WWE. Sunny wrapped up in one of Ventura’s boas seems like a missed opportunity. If the two could control their egos, Sunny could have been the first lady of the state of Minnesota or at least WWE (no offense Elizabeth).

Paige & The Undertaker

The Goth Couple

The Undertaker had one of the greatest careers in WWE history. He has performed in some of the biggest matches, delivered some of the most amazing moments and truly lived up to the moniker of Phenom of the WWE. Yet, Taker never had an onscreen romance during his WWE career. Taker was raised to his greatest heights during the New Generation of WWE and his character was so defined as evil, the promotion never had him dabble in relationships (minus kidnapping Stephanie McMahon). Yet, adding the sensual and gothic second generation superstar Paige to the Undertaker’s character fits like a glove (probably purple). Paige could bring the sexiness to the darkside as Undertaker’s Queen.

Tiffany Stratton & Randy Savage

Team Tiffy Madness

The Macho Man Randy Savage was a ladies’ man. Savage would have successful onscreen relationships with Miss Elizabeth, Sensational (Scary) Sherri and Gorgeous George. Tiffany Stratton could have been his next relationship. Stratton combines the bombshell appeal of Gorgeous George with unmatched athleticism. Savage teaching Stratton how to properly deliver his Big Elbow could be the flirtatious beginning of a fictitious Hall of Fame couple. Savage and Stratton could have worked together as a heel and a face combination. Team Tiffy Madness would have been the best fantasy WWE couple in the history of the promotion.
