The 'King' and 'Queen' dynamic worked a treat for Booker T and Sharmell back in the day. Sure, they often went for laughs, but there's something natural about a man and woman looking down on the rest of the roster as a power couple. WWE's best choice currently? Karrion Kross and Scarlett.

This could actually lead to more if WWE stops to think about it. Say Scarlett starts calling herself the 'Queen' of the company - that'd raise the ire of whomever wins the next Queen's Crown/Queen Of The Ring tournament, meaning she'd be able to branch off into her own feud separate from Kross.

Meanwhile, Karrion would be despotic and cruel.

WWE's seamstresses would have a blast coming up with all manner of gothic royal attires for their twin entrances, and the whole concept just makes sense the more one thinks about it. 'King' Kross even has that kind of alliterative quality pro wrestling adores.
