Its was touched upon on total divas once by Naomi stating that WWE wants the divas to appear available.
Why is this and what purpose does it serve?
Are you not like sexy anymore if you are married or in a relationship?

Because some crazy people think that if Roman Reigns is single, he might just might pick out a random girl in the audience, fall in love and marry her.

I guess it's kind of like why in 2ge+her all the guys had to have different favorite colors? www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-_TD4gefbE#t=2055"Say some girl picks up a copy of the magazine and she reads both Jerry and QT's favorite color is blue. Her favorite color is green. Nobody in 2gether likes green, ergo nobody in 2gether likes her, ergo she has no personality, no taste, she's worse nothing, she's a waste of human flesh!" Or why Chad must say that he ALWAYS loves his brother. |

Because then they're 'available' and you technically 'have a shot.' Read the Divas thread.

Well, a lot of men/women are going to want to have sex with them, and WWE want them to think they can... at least until they finish their tour of Sweden.

For wrestling couples it can also get awkward when it comes to face/heel alignments. For example the Bella's are both heels right now (I think), while their significant others are firm babyfaces. Best case scenario is both Bryan and Cena both come off looking whipped for not trying to show their girls the error of their ways. Worst case scenario is it comes off that they're condoning their actions which comes off as ethically dodgy for perennial good guys.

I think its probably a mix of keeping them open for storyline possibilities, wanting to let them seem attainable, and also because marital status (especially to a civilian) typically has little if anything to do with the character they are portraying.

I remember reading that's why most Divas do not have surnames either, to be perceived as being 'available'. Melina, Maria, Ashley, Kelly Kelly, Layla, Naomi, Aksana, Kaitlyn to name just a few. I believe JR was once scolded for saying 'Melina Perez' on commentary on an episode of SmackDown.

Yup. They dragged Natalya being The Great Khali's on-screen girlfriend on for months, then one week it was like "oh Nattie is married to Tyson Kidd". |

'We figure every girl in America is going to want to sleep with a WWE superstar. We've got everything, bedsheets, pillowcases, just one word from you and... we're in business.' 'We're in business??' 'I like the way you work.' |

This is common in entertainment. It's harder to do now in the age of the Information Superhighway, but was a time movie studios and record companies downplayed any relationship statuses of their stars in order to feed into the desire fans had for their favorites. Sometimes to present the star as innocent and virtuous, other times to keep a more "wild" star from seeming domesticated. Psychology of obtainable possibilities.
