Moreover, Cena revealed that he was pretty nervous about the whole thing as he didn’t know how the fans would react to it. He added that he was grateful to the fans in attendance for helping him celebrate the greatest moment of his life.
Interestingly, ‘The Champ’ also confirmed that he has a wedding date in mind. However, he did not give out any specific details. On the topic, he said that things are pretty much on ‘ground floor’ at present.
What’s next?
Cena and Bella have not appeared on WWE programming since WrestleMania 33. However, it is a matter of time before they return. Once that happens, it will be worth watching how they are utilised.
Author’s Take
John Cena and Nikki Bella do make a good couple onscreen as well as in real life. As such, once the two are back, the WWE could pair them onscreen once again. Bella could serve as Cena’s manager and also participate in mixed tag matches.
Cena and Bella are going through a terrific phase on the personal front. We wish them all the best and hope to hear the wedding bells ringing soon.
