Rollins, 35, takes on Roman Reigns in a singles match for the WWE Universal Championship.

While Lynch, 34, goes toe-to-toe with Doudrop in defence of the Raw Women's Championship belt.

The pair met on the wrestling circuit and became best friends, until Rollins plucked up the courage to ask the Irish beauty out.

They welcomed a daughter named Roux in 2019, before getting married two years later.

Here's the story of their unique romance.

WWE brought them together

Rollins, real name Colby Lopez, signed a developmental contract with the WWE in 2010, two years before Lynch, originally Rebecca Quinn, joined the NXT group.

From the offset, the pair became inseparable and formed a strong bond - with Rollins helping Lynch settle in to her new Florida surroundings.

Eventually, Rollins would ask her out.

As Lynch recalled, he approached her one day and suggested they should begin a relationship.

With nothing to lose, she agreed they should try it. However, they kept it on the downlow initially.

The big reveal

Months after getting together, Rollins and Lynch went pubic with their love.

The big reveal happened after Big Time Becks got into a war of words with WWE Hall of Fame star Beth Phoenix on Twitter in 2019.

After trading shots, Phoenix called on support from her husband Edge in the row and Lynch did the same with Rollins, although WWE fans were none-the-wiser.

A few hours later, Rollins took to Instagram to share a picture of him and Lynch in a clinch.

He captioned the photo: "Am I allowed to post this now."

A romantic engagement

Months later, Lynch revealed the pair were engaged.

She took to social media and showed off a diamond sparker revealing: “Happiest Day of my life. For the rest of my life.”

Speaking to Ryan Satin on Out of Character, Rollins spoke of the romantic moment he got down on one knee to ask for Lynch's hand in marriage.

“I didn’t really have a plan. I had a ring, but I didn’t have a plan," he revealed.

"We’ll see what happens, and we had gone though, and we had come around this corner, and the sunset was going down over the Pacific and I was, like, 'Oh, let’s stop and take some pictures it’ll be really nice. I got out and I was taking my time in the backseat getting the ring out.

“I was, like, not nervous but also nervous, and so then she went down ahead of me so I was, like, perfect. So I snatched it up and got in there.

"I went to take it out and she was a few feet ahead of me and she turned around and when she turned around I was on a knee there with the ring and she was like, ‘oh my god, is this real? Is this real? Yes of course’ which elated me”

A new arrival

By 2020, Lynch made the dramatic announcement that she was relinquishing her Raw Women’s Championship. The reason? She was expecting her first child with Rollins.

They released snaps of their ultrasound on social media, as well as Lynch's growing baby bump.

Shortly before Christmas, their beautiful daughter Roux was born.

Rollins has been vocal about the challenges of parenthood in the past.

"The husband part is easy. I’m married to a beautiful, extremely talented, lovely, perfect partner for me. The dad part is a learning curve for sure," he said.

"That’s a whole new skill-set. I’ve never changed a diaper before having this baby. So just little things like that.

“I think the biggest thing is you go from living this life as a top-tier WWE Superstar where really it’s all about you to now where you are in a backseat and you are not the most important part of your life.

"So to change everything around is really humbling, but also a cool experience to see it from this perspective. To see what life can be when you matter so much to somebody else. It’s really an awesome experience."

Summer lovin'

Almost two years after their engagement, Rollins and Lynch finally walked down the aisle.

The big day was kept hush hush until Rollins shared a snap on Instagram of Lynch working out outside with the caption: "Seems like a fine day to (finally) get married."

Later, the WWE confirmed they were getting married on Twitter.

The ceremony itself was a small, private affair with only friends and family in attendance - nothing like the crowds they are used to performing in front of.
