He is the current WWE World Heavyweight champion and, arguably, the most popular wrestler in WWE. She is a former Divas champion and the co-star of Total Divas on E! Network. Together, they are one of the most recognizable married couples in today's wrestling world. Bryan is among the most respected and admired wrestlers in the world. His body of work in the independents, including Ring of Honor, helped him get onto both the national and international radar while WWE turned him into a legitimate Superstar. His hard work and determination helped him make it to the very top of the company, leading to the greatest night of his professional life at WrestleMania XXX this past April. Brie is a perfect example of what can happen when one does not settle for a label and, instead, works hard to improve themselves. A former model hired by John Laurinatiis, Brie has gone from being just another pretty face to showing improvement and fire as a babyface worker. How much of her in-ring work can be attributed to learning from her husband is debatable but what is not is that she stands as one of the better wrestlers of the Total Divas lot. Recently, their relationship has been worked into a storyline involving Kane and Stephanie McMahon. Recognized as Bryan's wife, Brie gives the champion a weakness that can be exploited to further storylines and keep things fresh and interesting. Furthermore, she can partner with Bryan to face Kane and Stephanie in a high profile mixed tag match if the company would ever opt to go in that direction. For now, Brie will be on her own following Bryan's recent neck surgery.
