3 WWE Couples Who Recently United On SmackDown & 2 Who May Follow
Several real-life partners have lined up on-screen on WWE SmackDown lately, and a few more are likely on the way.
Couples who united on Friday Night SmackDown:
Aleister Black & Zelina
After re-signing with WWE and landing on SmackDown in April 2025, Aleister Black targeted Damian Priest, sparking a violent rivalry. Zelina Vega has been in his corner throughout, clashing with Rhea Ripley and giving the rivalry a mixed-tag flavor even when it’s officially one‑on‑one.
Matt Cardona & Chelsea Green
Matt Cardona surprisingly appeared on the January 2, 2026, SmackDown, working under his real name. He defeated Kit Wilson in his first official match back as a blue‑brand star. His wife, Chelsea Green, is already part of SmackDown programming.
Trick Williams & Lash Legend
After being together for over two years, Trick Williams and Lash Legend announced their engagement over Thanksgiving 2025 before Lash transitioned to SmackDown. On the December 2 edition of Friday Night SmackDown, former NXT Champion Trick Williams was called up to the WWE main roster as part of the blue brand.

Couples who could soon unite on SmackDown:
Damian Priest & Lola Vice
Lola Vice recently went public about her relationship with Damian Priest. She could jump from NXT to SmackDown and join his ongoing war with Black and Vega because Rhea Ripley has a lot on her plate to deal with.
Carmelo Hayes and Kelani Jordan
Carmelo Hayes and Kelani Jordan could also be the next real-life couple to unite on SmackDown. Jordan’s growing momentum could see WWE making a main roster call‑up for her.
