WWE has no shortage of real-life couples on its roster, and the company usually does a solid job of keeping partners on the same brand or even weaving their chemistry into storylines. We’ve seen it recently with Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch, who stepped into CM Punk’s feud together, which eventually led to the return of AJ Lee and a rare on-screen pairing of all four.
Ava and Tatyanna Dumas Go Public
Ava, the current NXT General Manager and daughter of WWE legend The Rock, has officially confirmed her relationship with WWE star Tatyanna Dumas. While the two sparked buzz when they appeared together at the premiere of The Smashing Machine, The Rock’s latest project, fans weren’t sure if the two were romantically involved.

That speculation ended when Ava posted a reel on Instagram featuring Dumas, calling herself “extremely lucky” to be with her. The pair even launched a joint Instagram account, giving fans a glimpse into their personal life and making their relationship crystal clear.
A Historic Moment for WWE
This is the first time a same-sex WWE couple has gone public while both partners are actively on the roster. While Sonya Deville was the company’s first openly lesbian wrestler, her partner wasn’t part of WWE during her run. Ava and Dumas stepping forward together marks a meaningful and positive moment for representation within the company.
Fans and WWE Stars React
The WWE community has been buzzing with supportive messages. With Ava’s growing role in NXT and Dumas rising through the ranks, the two have quickly become one of WWE’s most talked-about couples both for what they represent and for how openly and confidently they’ve shared their relationship with the world.
