* Stephanie [=McMahon=] and Wrestling/EricBischoff initially were dueling General Managers of ''Raw'' and ''[=SmackDown=]'' in 2002 and got an onscreen kiss during a BigLippedAlligatorMoment of a Halloween party. There had always been a bit of friendly FoeYay between them.

* [[Wrestling/FergalDevitt Finn Balor]] and Wrestling/{{Bayley}} have this chemistry since their time in [=NXT=] 2015. They had a slow dance together and even performed each other entrances. When they team up during the second season Mixed Match Challenge, they act as if they are SickeninglySweethearts.

* NXT season 3 had two sets of male pros with female rookies. The first set Wrestling/{{Goldust}} and [[Characters/WWEDivas Aksana]] were given a storyline involving a CitizenshipMarriage while the second set Wrestling/AJLee and Primo got a more subtle tease. One episode had them trying to find a private place for an unrevealed reason, AJ loved to celebrate winning matches by jumping on Primo's shoulders, when she was eliminated from NXT she broke down crying in his arms and they finally kissed on the last episode.

* Melina and Alicia Fox actually kissed on TV (in front of a PG audience as well). Ditto for Wrestling/WilliamRegal and Wrestling/ZackRyder, although that was meant as comedy.

* Stephanie [=McMahon=] and Kurt Angle were involved as JustFriends in a love triangle with Stephanie's husband Triple H. Steph was originally planned to leave Triple H for Angle, but Trips used his creative control to stop it.

* Trish Stratus got this a '''lot'''. She had it with Wrestling/JeffHardy twice, another time with her bodyguard Tyson Tomko, during a StalkerWithACrush storyline with [[HoYay Mickie James]] (that one she did kiss) and then there's [[AbhorrentAdmirer Viscera]].
* Trish, Lita were involved in some ShipTease with Christian & Chris Jericho that was ultimately revealed to be an example of TheBet. This lead to an 'intergender' feud between the two pairs, followed by a HeelFaceTurn for Jericho when Trish made her own FaceHeelTurn as Christian betrayed Jericho with her help.

* Wrestling/{{LayCool}} were a lesbian couple for as much as PG television would allow. Getting each other matching necklaces, always hugging each other and attending Couples' Therapy. Then Michelle had to blow it all by saying they weren't a couple.
* Billy Gunn and Wrestling/{{Chyna}} had this going on when the former returned in 2000 to console her after her break-up with Wrestling/EddieGuerrero. In {{Kayfabe}} interviews he would describe Chyna as "absolutely gorgeous" and they were shown to be very close. However whenever asked they would insist they were JustFriends. It never amounted to anything other than a friendship, though the 2001 Royal Rumble did have a very couple-y moment between them when Chyna was getting wheeled out on a stretcher.
* Maryse and Wrestling/TheMiz frequently throughout 2009. Maryse however was clearly just being a tease, hoping to manipulate him into helping her. Miz sunk the ship at Night of Champions and pretty much told her to go to hell. However in real life the ship is sailing just fine for both of them.

* Wrestling/{{Melina}} and Wrestling/JohnMorrison got a little tease during a backstage segment in 2010 obviously meant as a MythologyGag to echo their off screen relationship. They had been an actual on screen couple years before but had been separated onto different brands and this quietly disappeared. So the segment was this trope at the time.

** Kaitlyn's done this quite a bit now. She's had Wrestling/DolphZiggler, Wrestling/CodyRhodes and Hornswoggle. Funnily enough, her BFF AJ locked lips with the last two as well.
*** And as of December 2012, AJ is with Dolph Ziggler as well.
