Who could possibly forget the iconic love story between Randy Savage, the “Macho Man” of WWE and hottie Miss Elizabeth that landed up in a full-blown wedding ceremony at SummerSlam 1991? The professional wrestling world has seen many such mesmerising romances like Triple H and Stephanie McMahon, Edge and Lita or the more recent raw power couple John Cena and Nikki Bella. These names just fell under the radar because of being high-profile, their unapologetic PDAs and media hype. However, there have been many romance angles that were forgotten quickly as they didn’t really find the same success.
Let’s go down the memory lane and check out such real-life WWE romances that you might have forgotten about.
It’s interesting to know that Robbie left his wife and started dating Brooke. They also went public with their relationship on social media but hardly ever worked together on screen in TNA. The passionate affair started fizzling out after they were cast on CBS’ The Amazing Race reality show as they became tired of their togetherness. In fact, Robbie got back with his ex-wife and Brooke now has a son with her new love interest and fiancé Weston Wayne Piper.

In spite of the fact that Randy Orton was the main event star and Jojo was quite gorgeous and young at the time, this relationship failed to make much news. Jojo was only 19 then and there were also rumours that WWE had big plans to make them a part of the Total Divas storylines to highlight their romance, but the relationship ended quickly. They both are at the top of their game even today, but surprisingly their fans have no memory of them ever being a couple.

This is one of the most heart-wrenching romances in the WWE history as Test died in 2009, shocking the wrestling industry. Kelly started dating Test at the young age of 22, and the two were together for quite some time. Most fans didn’t even know they were an item until the death of Test and the official statements released by Kelly in interviews.

It’s still a hard-to-digest linkup but WWE diva Terri and ECW legend New Jack had a hush-hush relationship followed by a nasty breakup. They started dating after almost a decade of their prime careers and Runnel also appeared as the manager of New Jack at quite a few of his independent wrestling shows. The romance ended poorly with rumours of New Jack bad-mouthing Terri in interviews and selling her nude pictures to fans. Ouch!

This forgotten, long-term romance from the 1990s was a fairytale indeed. The couple ended up getting married too but eventually grew unhappy together. Their relationship ended with a shocking divorce and Wilson nearly quit WWE and started dating Alex Rodriguez later. In spite of the breakup, the duo still is on good terms with each other and Kidman is currently an important producer in the wrestling business.
