John Silver is officially off the market. The AEW star and his fiancée, Denise Liguori, tied the knot on Saturday, September 19, capping off a engagement that began back in June 2025. The couple shared photos and video from the ceremony on social media, giving fans a glimpse at the celebration.
Among the guests spotted at the wedding was fellow professional wrestler Chuck Taylor, a longtime friend and former tag team partner of Silver’s dating back to their days together in the independent scene before both landed in AEW. The presence of familiar wrestling faces at the ceremony underscores just how tight-knit the AEW locker room and its extended circle of indie-scene veterans have become over the years.
Silver has spent the better part of the last several years carving out a niche in AEW as part of The Dark Order, the quirky and often underestimated faction that has provided some of the promotion’s most memorable comedic and emotional moments alike. Alongside stablemates like Alex Reynolds, Silver has become one of the more durable and well-liked figures on the roster, a testament to consistency in a company that has seen no shortage of roster turnover and shifting storylines since its 2019 launch.
While the wedding itself isn’t tied to any on-screen angle or storyline, moments like these matter to the wrestling community for reasons beyond the ring. Wrestlers often spend more time on the road with each other than with their own families, and the bonds formed backstage — the kind that lead to guys like Chuck Taylor showing up for a friend’s wedding — are part of what makes the industry’s tight social fabric so distinct from other forms of sports and entertainment.
There’s no word yet on how, or if, Silver’s new marriage will factor into any creative plans, and there’s little reason to expect it will; personal milestones like this typically stay separate from on-screen programming unless a wrestler or the promotion chooses to fold it into a storyline. For now, it’s simply a happy occasion for one of AEW’s most tenured talents.
Congratulations are in order for John Silver and Denise Liguori as they begin the next chapter together, on and off the road.
