Brian Cage & Melissa Santos

In 2016, Brian and Melissa first met when they were both working in Lucha Underground. When they moved to Impact Wrestling, they got married in 2019 and also had Father James Mitchell conduct a mock wedding on TV for the cameras. Aside from two bouts, Melissa has worked primarily as an announcer. She’s also the voice of Impact’s Twitch channel, which she hosts. Because Melissa broadcasts live from their home, Brian Cage makes occasional appearances on the Twitch channel.

Brian Kendrick & Taylor Matheny

Brian Kendrick is a household name, but Taylor Matheny is less well-known. Anyone who watched the original Tough Enough will recall that she lost to Nidia in the Finals (manager of Jamie Noble). WWE did not give her a role in the company, unlike the winners and runner-ups Nidia, Maven, Josh Mathews, and Christopher Nowinski. We last saw her in a WWE-related video of Kendrick training Eva Marie on YouTube. They have been married since 2008, but no children have been born of the union.
