10.
Trish Stratus & Christian
The budding relationship began back in the fall of 2003 when Christian & Chris Jericho made a bet on whom could get lucky first with Lita & Trish Stratus. The Divas found out and Mr. Bischoff made a "Battle of the Sexes" Match for the 2003 Armageddon PPV. In storylines fans saw Christian ditch his crush on Lita whilst Jericho continued his hunt for Trish Stratus and her affections. Christian would form a rivalry with Chris Jericho, whom was being supported by Trish. The twisted love triangle would come to a climax at WrestleMania 20 at MSG in front of a sold out crowd. Trish Stratus shocked everyone by turning heel and sided with Christian and sealed the deal with a hot kiss.

Dawn Marie & Torrie Wilson
In 2002 fans were treated to the arrival of Hot Lesbian Action by Eric Bischoff and life was never the same again. Although Stephanie McMahon's interaction with lesbians at Unforgiven 2002 might have been voted one of the hottest moments of the year nothing could prepare fans for what was on the horizon. Dawn Marie formed an erotic interest in the Wilson Family and set out to seduce Torrie's father and boy did she get her man. It was Dawn's romance with Torrie that got your votes though and if you want to see the climax of the romance then purchase a copy of the Armageddon 2002 PPV. Dawn seduced Torrie in a hotel room scene that had to be edited for network broadcast but was later aired on PPV for everyone to see, enjoy or just observe.

Lita & Edge
They were voted the Partnership of the Year in RHD's annual Year End Awards and with good reason. This pair took the world by storm in 2005 with their affair and were literally the talk of the Internet for many months and got someone fired in the process. Lita's real-life romance with Matt Hardy was public and out in the open for many years so it was all the more shocking when it came out that Lita had cheated on Matt with his close friend.. Edge. The fans at an MSG RAW aired the feelings in a bitter chant that ruined an in-ring segment. Lita would later turn on Kane in storylines and form an on-air relationship with Edge, which led to one of the hottest weddings in WWE history. The pair would go onto deliver record ratings in 2006 with their Rated R sex session in a ring.
7.
Molly Holly & Spike Dudley
Forming a relationship with someone isn't always a smooth road, especially if you've got family members that don't approve of your loved one. Family played a big part in the Molly/Spike romance during spring 2001. Molly & Spike gave fans many a cute moment whilst the Holly's & Dudley Boyz tried their best to put an end to the budding romance. Molly was subjected to a devastating table assault by Spike's brothers whilst Spike was beaten up by the Holly Family. Family didn't win on this occation and the romance was sealed when the pair shared a tender kiss on a LIVE broadcast of RAW. Even "Stone Cold" Steve Austin couldn't come between the pair.
6.
Marlena & Goldust
This unusual relationship took the WWE by storm in early 1996. Fans were already intrigued by Goldust's flamboyant actions but the arrival or the cigar smoking blonde bombshell only took matters to another level. The pair would have a memorable appearance at WrestleMania 12, taking on the legendary Rowdy Roddy Piper. They'd continue to work as a partnership until the WWE decided to reveal them as lovers, real-life lovers too and we even saw their real-life daughter used in storylines. The pair would continue their romance until fall 1997 where things took a sinister turn with the XXX-Files, courtesy of Brian Pillman. Luna would also join in on the separation of the pair and convert Goldust into a true freak of nature.
5.
Stephanie McMahon, Kurt Angle & Triple H
Kurt Angle joined the WWE in 1999 but really made his mark in 2000 by capturing the IC & European Championships. He'd go onto form a close friendship with Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley but Triple H wasn't happy. Mr. McMahon tried to be the voice of reason and unite the men but it just wasn't mean't to be and the pair continued to form a bitter dislike for one another. As the summer drew to a close so seemingly did the McMahon-Helmsley Era as Kurt Angle looked set to take Stephanie for his doing. During a match on SmackDown! fans saw Stephanie knocked to the ground and taken backstage by her man but Kurt would soon follow and planted a kiss on Stephanie, which she didn't object to. Stephanie would later have to choose between the pair and picked her husband, Triple H.
4.
Trish Stratus & Mr. McMahon
This relationship began as nothing more than a harmless friendship or so the pair would lead you to believe. Their antics began late-2000 during their "charity" work over the christmas period. Stephanie, Vince's daughter, wasn't best pleased and set out to destroy the relationship. Vince & Trish went to great lengths to be together whilst humiliating Linda McMahon in the process. Not only did the pair sedate Linda in storylines but locked lips in one of SmackDown's most sizzling kisses. Their romance hit a road block the night after the 2001 No Way Out PPV, which saw Vince finally side with his daughter. Together the pair mopped Trish with dirty vile water and humiliated her but the Canadian bombshell hadn't had enough of her McMahon. Trish would actually beg Vince for his forgiveness and was made to bark like a dog on LIVE TV alongside stripping down to her bra & panties. Their romance ended at WrestleMania X-Seven where Trish slapped her former lover across the face and enabled Linda to seek vengeance on her spiteful husband.
3.
Lita & Matt Hardy
As noted earlier in our Top 10, this romance was the talk of the Internet and soon turned into a storyline. Matt finally kissed Lita after saving her from a beating at the hands of Dean Malenko. Their relationship saw many ups and downs ranging from Matt's desire to beat his brother at Vengeance 2001, Lita's injury and the eventual brand split. Matt would later return from an injury and joined the RAW roster to be with Lita but Kane would later come between the pair and injured Matt Hardy and married Lita in the process. Lita would later have a real-life affair with Edge and you've already read how that ended up happening.
2.
Miss Elizabeth & "Macho Man" Randy Savage
The "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth were known throughout the entire global community as the first couple of pro wrestling. Together they were a powerful duo and involved in several hot storylines over the 80's and 90's. Sadly the duo splitup but the love was too powerful and they reunited in fashion. Sensational Sherri was dishing out a beating to Savage for losing but was soon fended off by the
lovely Elizabeth and the ultimate WrestleMania Reunion soon followed. Their wedding was the first major wedding of it's kind in pro wrestling and set the bar high for future wedding segments.
1.
Stephanie McMahon & Triple H
Please believe us when we say that nearly every single email sent in had this duo as one of the votes and with good reason to. The McMahon-Helmsley Era was one of the most talked about eras in pro wrestling and saw some record high rated segments, hot storylines and record buyrates. The pair began their romance back in 1999 where Triple H drugged Stephanie and married her in Vegas - airing the footage during Stephanie's wedding to Test. Mr. McMahon stepped forward to defend his daughter and faced Hunter at Armageddon 1999 in a bloody war. Stephanie shocked the world by turning on her father and siding with the man we were led to believe drugged her. Their unity soon sent shockwaves up and down the WWE as they wrecked havoc on those that stood in their way. Mick Foley was one of their prime targets. Their reign of terror came to a bitter end in May 2001 when H was struck down with an injury that sidelined him until early 2001. When H returned he was united with Stephanie but her pregnancy lies got the better of her and he dumped her on LIVE television during a mock wedding ceremony.
