10. Rusev & Lana

A few years ago, Rusev and Lana would've been higher on this list, but they've been overtaken by some new couples that have shot ahead. The main reason for that is their respective struggles on WWE TV. As sad as it is to say, Rusev isn't quite the future World Champ he seemed before, and Lana has lost some lustre as his 'Ravishing Russian'.

She's also kinda' lost the accent that came with it.

Still, both Ru-Ru and Lana do have huge social media followings that chart their every move. This, in today's society, is seen as important, and it helps keep both (specifically Lana) relevant even when they're not appearing on SmackDown or pay-per-view.

There's hope here, and yet it's dwindling. The chances of Rusev recapturing his old momentum and getting in the mix for the top titles are lower than ever, and Lana, who is part of the on screen package, is along for that ride with him.
