What’s next?
John Cena and Nikki Bella will face the Miz and Maryse at WrestleMania 33 this Sunday in Orlando, Florida.
Author’s Take
John Cena and Nikki Bella are currently the topmost Superstars of the SmackDown brand. Their absence will be a huge loss to the blue brand and will be difficult to cope up with.
However, we support Nikki’s decision of taking time off as nothing should be given a higher priority than any performer’s health. We hope to see them back on our television sets soon.
