Portmanteau Couple Name / Professional Wrestling

Go To

  • Though it's hardly a common pairing, one can find Randy Orton/John Cena slash labeled "Centon". Here's hoping the bizarre Undertaker/Jeff Hardy shippers never come up with a portmanteau.
  • There is an official one of these for one of WWE's on-air couples; the pairing of Santino Marella and Beth Phoenix (aka the Glamazon) is referred to by WWE itself as Glamarella.
    • A portmanteau (Glamarella) based on a portmanteau! (Glamazon=glamourous + amazon).
  • A less common name for the somewhat-canon couple (at least, in the latter's mind) of Trish Stratus and Mickie James is "Trikie".
  • Another canon one, tag team of Chris Jericho and Big Show, "Jerishow". They even have mixed music.
    • Big Show later paired with The Miz as ShoMiz.
    • Then Jericho and Miz teamed up again, and Jerimiz and Jiz became popular couple names. The team was too short lived to get a name.
  • Another tag team example comes in the former team of Randy Orton (RKO), and Edge (Rated R Superstar), with Rated-RKO.
  • Layla and Michelle McCool have formed the pairing of LayCool.
  • The pairing of CM Punk and A.J. Lee is often known as AJPunk or Punklee.
  • The pairing of Dean Ambrose/Seth Rollins of The Shield is well established as Ambrollins. Pairing Ambrose with their other teammate, Roman Reigns, gets us Ambreigns (which gets name-dropped in a hilarious fashion by The New Day on one of their promos), and pairing Rollins and Reigns together is Rolleigns. When shipped as a threesome, the team is known as Ambrolleigns.
  • Hallowicked was teamed with Australian female wrestler Shazza McKenzie in a loss to Princess Kimberlee and The Whisper at CHIKARA La Loteria Letal 2018, October 27, 2018. The crowd chanted "Shazmaldun" as a possible name for their team, combining Shazza's first name with Nazmaldun, the mysterious entity Hallowicked worships.
  • Diva Dirt dubbed Gail Kim and Melina, who teamed together a lot in 2009-2010 'Gail-Lina'.
  • Alicia Fox and Aksana, an alliance in 2013-2014 were 'Foxsana'.
  • Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair are called "Charlynch" by their shippers.
