Professional wrestling has produced several memorable couples since its inception. Many fans remember growing up with wrestling power couples like the Macho Man Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth. There may also be a group of slightly younger fans who have fond memories of acts like Triple H and Chyna. While some of these couples were only an item when the cameras were rolling, many were actually romantically involved outside the scripted world of pro wrestling. Given the amount of time these athletes spend together, it seems logical to assume that relationships that go beyond friendship are likely to occur.

Many wrestling fans are aware of some of the more visible couples in the industry. For example, even most casual followers of the sport know that Triple H and Stephanie McMahon are husband and wife. However, they are two of the most prominently featured characters in the world's largest wrestling organization, WWE. The United States' second-biggest brand doesn't always get the same type of coverage afforded to the WWE. As a result, there have likely been more than a few things going on behind the scenes, which you may not have been aware of. This is especially true in regards to who is dating who in TNA, or as it's now called, Impact Wrestling. With that in mind, let's take a look at a few of the couples over the years that you may not have even known were an item.

15 15. ODB & Ken Anderson

Ken Anderson is known for being an outspoken superstar who could make a microphone drop from the ceiling at seemingly any time. ODB became a breakout star in Impact Wrestling as a rough-around-the-edges girl who wasn't shy about drinking from a flask and grabbing her own crotch from time to time.

Apparently, these two were an item for a relatively long period of time. The couple started dating back in 2000. It's unclear exactly when the two broke up, but Anderson married someone else in 2008, so things had clearly ended by that point. While Anderson is off the market these days, ODB is apparently single. Despite being two fairly high profile stars in the wrestling world, this relationship didn't seem to get much attention from the internet wrestling community.

14 14. Brooke Tessmacher & Robbie E

The two competed as a couple on the CBS reality television series, The Amazing Race. The pair actually fared quite well on the show and ended up finishing 4th overall. However, the two had apparently broken sometime before they had finished filming the show, in 2014. Tessmacher posted the following on Facebook; "NO, I am no longer with Robbie E. We filmed the race this past summer and separated by the end of filming. I am so so incredibly happy in my life and have fully moved on. Hope you guys can as well".

When asked about their relationship in an interview for Ewrestlingnews, Kazarian stated; “It’s great having somebody that has been there and done that. That knows what I’m going through. Being a wrestler’s wife is probably the hardest thing to do on this planet. I can’t imagine regular quote unquote women having to endure and put up with what we put them through but being somebody that did a lot in the business she understands what I go through".

Most wrestling fans are aware of CM Punk's impressive accomplishments in WWE. However, some fans may not realize that he wrestled for TNA way back in 2003. His time there was relatively short and his most notable angle was as a member of Raven's TNA faction. During that time he also dated TNA Knockout Traci Brooks.

During his time in TNA/Impact Wrestling he and Traci Brooks were apparently an item for a short period. This was before Punk really hit it big, so it's not known exactly how they met.

Punk would go on to marry AJ Lee, while Traci Brooks would settle down with Frankie Kazarian.
