Promotions: WWE (Riott) and Impact Wrestling/Indys (Something)

Ruby Riott's career is in limbo at the moment. Not only is she facing months on the injury list due to shoulder surgery, but her Riott Squad group were seemingly split when Liv Morgan jumped to SmackDown in the Shake-Up. Right now, it's hard to see what's next for Ruby and her old running mates.

Thank God for a good love life then.

Away from the ring, Riott is dating current indy star and Impact man Jake Something. Impact fans will know him as Jake Deaner, cousin of Cody, from 'The Redneck Renegades' tag-team. Elsewhere on the independent scene, Something has worked for the likes of AAW and Glory Pro.

It can't be easy for a WWE starlet and her Impact boyfriend to make things work, but the couple look smitten on social media. Long may it last.
