There are few things that are more important than who you decide you want to date. Pick wrongly and some of the best moments in your life have the very real chance of being ruined by having an awful partner bring you down. In the WWE, the amount of time spent on the road makes relationships an inevitability for many superstars. And while that leads to some great times when they aren't expending cardio in the ring, that does also lead to some hilarious and awkward photos that have made their way online. By the time you get to the end of this list, you can understand why these 15 photos ended up going viral. Even if some of the participants in the photos don't always seem to be aware as to what is going on.

But if any of these photos make the stars feel too bad, we hope they have the support of a partner to help make them feel better. Though we're sure they wouldn't be able to say with a straight face that their photo wasn't a worthy entry. While in some cases like Triple H and Stephanie McMahon it's a fan that helps ramp up the level of awkward, other couples like The Miz and Maryse can supply that awkward all on their own!

These are the 15 Hilarious Awkward Photos Of WWE Couples Together.

15 John Cena And Nikki Bella At The Apple Store

One of the best experiences of a WWE fan's life may be when they get to go up and interact with wrestlers that they admire. After all, we're sure you have spent hundreds of hours following the career of some of your favourites. And if you ever hear that they are doing something like a meet and greet, you may want to make sure you go and check that out. But that experience may be a lot more exhilarating if you are just going about your business and then you happen to run into not only one, but two of your favourite stars.

While we're sure it would be awkward to run into John and Nikki now, even if they do end up back together, it'd be far more awkward to be like this fan.

Who clearly elected to sit back and take a photo of them as opposed to actually go up and try and start a conversation. Which could have surely become an even more awkward situation if either of them had noticed what was going on. You can just hope that neither John or Nikki have ever had the extreme displeasure of having to come across this photo of them.

14 Triple H And A Pregnant Stephanie McMahon

Triple H should be commended for often being willing to stop and take a photo with a fan. But when you consider the incredible career that he has put together, we are sure it is something that must happen on a very regular basis. On this particular day, perhaps it was the fact that the fan was sporting a WWE shirt that made him agree to take a photo. Though Triple H may have also decided not to smile when he realized that he wasn't featured on his shirt. Though Mankind, The Rock, and Stone Cold Steve Austin are pretty legendary wrestlers too.

This would barely qualify as an awkward couples photo but you'll see exactly why it fits when you spot Stephanie sitting awkwardly on the stairs. No fault to her own, as she seems to be heavily pregnant, but we're sure it was just one more reason as to why Triple H may not have been in the very best mood when this photo was being snapped. But perhaps he was also able to say that Stephanie needed to get out of there because she was uncomfortable in order to avoid any potential conversation with this fan. We're also sure he may just be glad that Stephanie was able to avoid being in the focus of the photo.

13 Rusev And Lana Caught Getting Into A Basketball Game

Rusev and Lana have possibly combined for some of your favourite WWE memories. But even if you don't enjoy watching them on the screen, we're sure they are just thrilled that they had the opportunity to work together. Because it wasn't long before they realized their chemistry translated to away from the ring. The two ended up getting married back in July 2016. Which means you can hope that he is planning something fun for them to do to celebrate their 2 years of marriage.

Lana has mentioned doubts in the past, "I just get scared, like what if it doesn't work out? People get divorced all the time and I don't wanna get divorced. I don't want my marriage to fail, I get really scared," but we are sure Rusev will do all he can to help keep her happy. While we are sure that Rusev has had some doubts as well, we hope they are a relationship that can pride themselves on their strong level of communication. We are also sure the stressful nature of their jobs is also something that must make their marriage a lot harder. Even if they do have the advantage of also working together. At least until an injury or some other factor like a brand swap sends them in opposite directions! (Source: EOnline).

12 Nikki Bella And John Cena Celebrate 500,000 YouTube Subscribers

Nikki Bella was very excited when the time came for her YouTube channel to have 500,000 followers. And like most YouTubers, she wanted to make a video to help commemorate just how excited she was to have such a strong sense of support from her online community. And what better way to show off just how happy she was to hit such a milestone than to decide that wearing clothes was something that is a totally overrated thing to do. Something that we're sure a lot of her fans were very much in favour of.

Not only that but she also managed to rope John Cena into the "stunt", though she did indicate in the video that it was much harder to get him to relieve himself of his clothes than her. Something that may actually be surprising when you consider John left very little to the imagination for his role in the hit comedy Trainwreck which came out in 2015. This video, in contrast, came out in April 2017. As of now, the Bella Twins YouTube page boasts 1.5 million subscribers. The real question is, does she have anything special planned for when they inevitably pass the 2 million mark? And perhaps even more importantly, will John be by her side when it happens?

11 Daniel Bryan And Brie Bella As Matching Waldo's

This photo has a very real chance to be a lot more adorable than awkward. But when you consider how awesome the costumes are that Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella had on this particular Halloween, did you really think there was any chance we were going to be able to leave these photos sitting on the sideline? Heck no! Especially because it is absolutely hilarious to see a couple be as dedicated to Halloween that they wanted to step out of the house in matching costumes. But we're sure Daniel was just excited for the chance to get to see his wife dress up!

And while the costumes may be their rendition of "where's Waldo", we were definitely able to spot their awesomeness.

We are sure both of them have had moments when an over-exuberant fan has come up to them and they wish they were as hard to find as Waldo is! While we are not too sure as to what costume the two have in mind for this upcoming October, we are sure you would not be the only person out there if you can say you are very excited to see it. Though if Nikki and John find themselves back together then you may also figure that they will also try and raise the bar with an awesome couple costume of their own.

10 Dean Ambrose And Renee Young Battle A Hat Thief 

Dean Ambrose and Renee Young were just sitting down and having themselves a normal lunch. Well, as normal as a lunch can be when you consider they're both prominent WWE stars. The two were also filming a scene for Total Divas which means that there were plenty of cameras around. Something that clearly caught the attention of a man who was walking by and decided to take this as an opportunity to try and steal Renee's hat. But what this idiot was not anticipating was the fact that he just stole the hat of someone who was dating a professional wrestler. And this was definitely something that Ambrose was not going to let this fan get away with.

The situation ended up infuriating Renee, as they were at lunch with their parents, and wasn't pleased that Dean made the fan say "I'm a drunk a**h*le and I apologize" on camera, as well as his decision to escalate the situation by running after him. While there is nothing about the two of them in this situation that was awkward (outside of their fight), you can imagine this had to be one of the most shocking things to ever happen on Total Divas.

9 The Miz And Maryse Don't Know What's Going On

Maryse and The Miz are surely having themselves some long nights after they recently became parents for the first time. It was an unexpected surprise for the couple, but you'd hope they were able to save up some of those WWE cheques to help make that transition all the easier. What that also means is that Maryse and The Miz aren't going to be staying up late partying it up, as instead, they get to stay up and take care of their little one. At least unless they are fortunate enough to have their child sleep through the night. But prior to Maryse giving birth, it definitely seems like the two of them used to have some pretty good times when they elected to go out and do some drinking.

But if you were out at the club with your lovely lady, perhaps you'd also want to throw back some cold ones. What you don't want to happen is to have photos be taken of you engaging in behaviour like this. We are sure that if The Miz took a gander at this photo the next day that his hangover may have started to feel a heck of a lot worse. And while Maryse is often looking great, there's no way to look good when caught in a pose like this.

8 John Cena And Elizabeth Huberdeau Making A Hilarious Face

When you consider the amount of attention that John Cena and Nikki Bella's failed almost wedding got, many people may be overlooking the fact that John has been married once before. Which may make any photo that you see with his first wife, Elizabeth Huberdeau a little bit shocking for you to see. But you may also just be enjoying the sight of this hilarious face that they both decided was fitting for the camera. The two fell in love in high school, which we're sure was at one point a very cute story, but it was reported that Huberdeau found herself blindsided by John's decision to end their marriage after 3 years together in 2012.

TMZ also reported that their divorce was complicated by the fact that Elizabeth had attempted to make adjustments to their prenup agreement. John also blamed their marriage to his loss to The Rock at WrestleMania, “That match sent my life into a tailspin, both professionally and personally, because I could not get over my obsession with the fact that I had failed." Oof. We are sure if The Rock knew the amount of mental strain that the loss was going to put on John than he would have been much happier to have just lost the match. (Source: Heavy, TMZ).

7 Big Cass And Carmella Rightfully Shutting Out Enzo

Big Cass and Carmella definitely cared a lot about one another with their relationship starting out when they were working together on the NXT brand. But it came out in January 2017 that the two had elected to go their separate ways. And while Carmella once had her social media page littered with fun memories and tributes to her love life, all that was also taken off the internet. This entire breakup was also probably made all the more difficult by the fact that the two had very recently decided to purchase a house together. Which means that all those breakup talks had that very awkward elephant in the room that needed to be dealt with.

Not to mention whichever one of them got left with the house if they didn't sell it is also left with some awkward memories of their time buying it. This photo of the two of them also features a 3rd party in Enzo Amore. But when you consider Enzo has been released from the company due to his intolerable comportment - which he does deny - perhaps you think it is appropriate that Carmella is letting him know what her hand smells like. And while there are many WWE stars who have been given multiple shots in the WWE, Enzo probably won't be one of them.

6 Xavier Woods And Paige Being Side-By-Side

Paige never had a public relationship with fellow WWE star, Xavier Woods. But she does have the unfortunate fact of having her and Xavier Woods being involved in a bit of activity in the bedroom. Also joining the party was Brad Maddox. There is nothing wrong with doing a little tag-team action behind closed doors, but Paige had her worst nightmare happen when the photos and videos from their time together got leaked. And in the process having the world get a very up-close look as to how Paige appears when she leaves her clothes on the bedroom floor.

All photos of Paige and Xavier hanging out, such as this one here, are sure to be even more awkward with that information in mind. When talking about the situation, Paige stated “I was out yesterday with my friend. We were just sitting there having a Bloody Mary. This guy comes up to my friend and says 'that's the... star'. I was so sad to the point I was contemplating [some dark thoughts], I was on the floor, I was so low. I got so skinny I ended up collapsing with exhaustion in hospital in England. They told me at the time it was like stress-induced." Paige isn't the first, nor will she be the last diva to have photos leak. But the fact that Woods was also involved definitely didn't make the situation any less interesting to tabloid journalists. (Source: Buzz).

5 Alexa Bliss And Buddy Murphy Passing Time On The Road

There are many exciting females that are currently kicking some serious ass inside of a WWE ring. But you would not be alone if one of your very favourites is the 5-foot fury that is, Alexa Bliss. Who definitely put her dues in on the NXT brand before getting her call up to the big show. That seems to be when this photo was taken of her and her fiance Buddy Murphy was taken as she is sporting an NXT jacket. We are sure that Bliss is very fortunate for every step in the journey that she has had to take. Including having to learn a lot in NXT before getting her chance to truly shine. While Buddy's career has not been as successful as Alexa's, we are hopeful that she is going to always remain standing by his side.

At the very least it seems like the two can have a lot of fun when the two are hanging out.

As evident by the fact that they are both busting out some pretty funny faces that make this a very appropriate entry for a list like this. Though considering the two look like they could be in an airport, perhaps it makes sense that they are trying to do everything in their power to have a good time.

4 Nikki And John Dressing Up As Each Other

John Cena and Nikki Bella have had the opportunity to spend many Holidays together. And when John Cena and Nikki Bella were trying to think of what to do for Halloween back in 2016, they had the hilarious idea of dressing up as one another. When it ended up getting published by the WWE channel it became a huge hit and over 7 million people ended up deciding that it was worth checking out. And when you see the finished result with our photos, you can imagine that many of them thought it was well worth their time. While we don't know who pulled off a better impersonation, they both clearly spent a solid amount of time getting into character and should be commended for that.

While nobody knows if the two are still going to be back together by October 2018, perhaps it's memories like this that may help push them back together. Though we're sure that John as a lot more costumes in mind that he would rather see Nikki wear for Halloween than to dress up as him. When you consider that Nikki's sister also makes an appearance on this list for a Halloween costume, perhaps they'll both be feeling a lot of pressure to be rocking their next costume choice!

3 Trent Barreta Looking 'Altered' With AJ Lee

When you think about the relationship life of AJ Lee, you are probably going to immediately think of her marriage to CM Punk. Which also ended up probably playing a big reason as to why you are no longer getting to check AJ Lee out in a WWE ring. But that's not the only person that AJ Lee has managed to win over. Or perhaps it's the other way around when you consider her previous relationship was with the much less successful, Trent Barreta who has also attempted to make it as a wrestler.

The two dated from 2011 until 2012. Which hopefully means that he had some great memories of his time with her before their relationship came apart. But we wouldn't be too surprised if he didn't have too many memories of this particular night. As his general disposition definitely seems to indicate someone who has perhaps had himself a few too many drinks at the bar. But when considering his lime green tie with that shirt, it's also very possible that he had found himself a little under the influence before he had even elected to leave the house. Lee may also have been a little tipsy if she looked at his outfit and thought it was a good look though! (Source: WDW).

2 Chyna And A Very Hyperactive Triple H

Let's be honest, any photo of Triple H and Chyna is going to be very awkward. Chyna had a very public departure from the company when Triple H decided that he would much rather start dating Stephanie McMahon than continue his relationship with her. But to be fair that was a decision that seemed to work out pretty well for him in the end. But the nature of this photo is also plenty embarrassing that may end up making this your very favourite entry. As not only is Triple H rocking out in some embarrassing pants, but that pose is also one that - while makes him look muscular - also looks ridiculous in this given setting.

Though Chyna does seem to be impressed so perhaps that's the only thing that he was worried about on this particular day. But we're sure that Stephanie also found herself plenty impressed when Triple H showed off his muscles for her. Chyna was also not the first and definitely was not the last, wrestler to find themselves out of a job and not because of their talent in the ring, but because they have gotten on the bad side of the McMahon family and they decided they'd rather not keep them around.

1 Shawn Michaels With Sunny On His Lap

Sunny has definitely had a reputation for engaging in some activities with various WWE athletes. This includes Shawn Michaels who she allegedly hung out with for close to a year before he met his current wife, "Listen, when we were together, we were together for almost an entire year, hooking up and dating and traveling to Jamaica, and everything like that, he didn't even know [Michaels' current wife]. They weren't even friends. They weren't even acquaintances, so why would this be hurtful towards their marriage? This is from his past, from my past, that had nothing to do with his wife," said Sunny when talking about their relationship.

Which means that while Shawn may have had some great memories of his time with Sunny, we also don't blame him for not wanting to be as upfront about what their activities were. While Shawn has also not wrestled since facing off against The Undertaker at WrestleMania 26, he did recently indicate that he may be ready for one more match. "I've been retired for eight years now and when it got to the five-year mark I thought people would start asking me but they just kind of stopped. I think it's one of those that you would never say never about and if it was just for a one-off then it's something that I would take a look at." (Source: WrestlingInc, SkySports).
