Promotions: WWE (Cole) and AEW (Baker)

Here's another WWE and AEW couple, albeit not the last one on the list.

No wonder Adam Cole and Britt Baker are smiling though. At NXT TakeOver: XXV, Cole beat Johnny Gargano to become the new NXT Champion. A week earlier, his girlfriend Baker won the first ever women's match on AEW pay-per-view by overcoming Kylie Rae, Nyla Rose and Awesome Kong in a tremendously fun Fatal-4-Way.

Britt has to be in the running for that forthcoming AEW Women's Title, and rightly so. The couple must be over the moon with their synchronised success in both major companies. It's not every day wrestling lovers score newsworthy wins just seven days apart for two different promotions.

Much like everyone else here, Baker and Cole must find it a struggle to get the time they'd like together when they're not working. At least Britt can take solace in how far she's come since jobbing to Nia Jax on Raw three years ago.

She's Adam Cole's, bay bay.
