#10 Wanting to do a storyline about their relationship

John Cena, Nikki Bella, — Will John Cena and Nikki Bella do another storyline about their relationship?

Believe it or not, there is a rumour going around that John Cena and Nikki Bella want to WWE to do another storyline about their relationship. The couple already did a storyline with The Miz and Maryse that culminated with Cena proposing to Nikki Bella at WrestleMania 33, which wasn’t exactly perceived very well by fans.

While The WWE Universe did seem excited at times by the negative picture that The Miz and Maryse were trying to paint the power couple in, the ending was predictable and few segments just seemed to drag on forever. In the end, The Cenation and The Fearless army seemed to enjoy the whole thing, but there were also fans that didn’t believe it desired airtime.

With that being said, an inside source has reportedly told Hollywoodlife.com that “Both John and Nikki realize that people are sceptical about their breakup and makeup, which is still in the process of happening.

But as they are legitimately working on getting back together and getting back to a place where they will get married and have a family. They have also thought about what it would be like to present their struggles and reconciliation into a future WWE storyline

#9 Willing to get married on WWE television

Going back to the source from the Hollywoodlife.com article, they also claimed that Nikki Bela and John Cena were willing to get married on WWE television. Not only is that a huge departure from Bella claiming that she would never televise her wedding to Cena, it also doesn’t seem to fit in with John Cena’s private lifestyle.

“They got engaged at WrestleMania and would highly consider getting married on WWE television and then get married off TV as to make everyone happy since their real life and work life go hand in hand. It's baby steps right now, but they are looking into getting to a place where all options are done and achieved

Sure, Cena did lay himself pretty bare for the world to see during his WrestleMania 33 feud, but even that seemed tame compared to what they could have done if they really wanted to surprise fans. With that being said, it will be interesting to see if Cena and Bella are actually interested in getting married on WWE Television and if WWE can satisfy fans with a month or so long storyline about it.

Maybe WWE could pull it off, but they are going to have to be willing to hit below the belt to make it interesting. They are also going to have to figure out how to blend storyline and reality in a way that gives fans some unpredictability. That might be hard for the company, especially with their desire to portray them both as faces, but maybe WWE is willing to risk more this time.

#8 John Cena versus The Undertaker at Summerslam?

Remember that match between John Cena and The Undertaker that barely lasted five minutes and ended with Cena getting pinned? At one time it was regarded it was regarded as one of the most anticipated matches of WrestleMania 34 but was continuously bogged down by The Undertaker not appearing on television. It quickly became one of the most lacklustre storylines leading up to WrestleMania 34 and was only criticized worse after their lacklustre performance in the ring.

Believe it or not, WWE wants to build upon that with a rematch between the two at Summerslam. What’s interesting about this rumour is that seems to back up reports that The Undertaker is physically is in good shape and wants to compete a few more times. Whether that is true or not remains to be seen, but The Undertaker competing at Greatest Royal Rumble seems to back the theory up.

With that being said, Wrestlingrumors.com is reporting that. “Cena’s schedule is open after he’s done filming “Bumblebee.” The expectation is he will be back on WWE television sooner rather than later. He may even return after Money in the Bank. The point is Cena vs. Undertaker II is a real possibility for the biggest party of the summer. However, there are still some questions to answer.”

#7 John Cena giving Daniel Bryan contract advice

It’s no secret that Daniel Bryan’s contract with WWE is due to expire in later in 2018 and while he remains one of the company’s most popular stars, the company has still not finalized a new deal yet. If that wasn’t hard enough to believe, especially since WWE originally didn’t want to lose him to indie promotions, it’s now being rumoured that it’s due to advice was given to him by John Cena.

According to Wrestlingrumors.com,” John Cena could be causing some major issues between Bryan and WWE officials. Apparently, Cena advised him to hire ICM Partners to negotiate his contract extension with the company. ICM Partners are telling Bryan to begin negotiations asking for as much as possible before re-signing with the company.

Some are speculating that Cena was just giving his brother in law honest advice about how to handle his next contract, but one has to wonder if he has ulterior motives on this one. In fact, it almost seems like Cena wants the deal between WWE and Daniel Bryan to fall through or at least hit some kind of snag that paints Bryan in a negative light.

Of course, that’s just speculation and would be pretty petty of Cena to do, but it's not totally out of line when considering his behaviours in the past. In the end, maybe John Cena’s changed and is just trying to help his brother in law out in regards to getting the best deal possible, it is hurting WWE and Daniel Bryan’s relationship in the meantime.

#6 Current relationship goals

Much has been speculated about the status of John Cena and Nikki Bella’s relationship status and it’s only going to get louder until fans get an official word from the couple. The couple did release a statement announcing their breakup to the public on E.com but haven’t really talked about their relationship status since then.

With that being said and both The Fearless Army and The Cenation dying to know details about their favourite power couple, it seems they are on back together. In fact, one source told People magazine that Bella and Cena are currently on the road to reconciliation and that Cena is definitely the love of Nikki’s life.

Of course, it’s not known whether this is true or not, especially since the couple has again yet to put out any statement confirming this, but it does seem to be lining up with a lot of what else Cena and Bella have been saying in interviews. Cena even admitted during an interview on Good Morning America that he was heartbroken by the breakup, which showed how much he really regretted the decision.

#5 How John Cena coped with the breakup

While John Cena is usually a very calm cool and collected person, the announcement of his breakup with Nikki Bella took an obvious toll on him and it really showed during his recent interview on Good Morning America. Not only was that extremely obvious by the pained look in his eyes when he admitted that the relationship was over, but also by his sudden plea to Nikki about working things out.

With that being said and loads of information still circulating about the breakup between the two, a source talked to People Magazine about Cena’s reaction to the breakup and claimed that Cena saw it as a mistake. The source also claimed that Cena didn’t want to be alone and he knew he had to find a way to get Nikki back.

According to the inside source “John’s almost never been alone, and he can’t be alone, and it’s definitely hitting him that he would be making a huge mistake if he let Nikki go for good. He wants to figure out how they can put this back together, and that’s where her heart is, also. In some ways, this is almost exactly the plot of the first Sex and the City movie: when it’s just the two of them, they’re fine,”

In the end, it might be hard as a fan of John Cena to here that he was so devastated by the breakup, but hopefully, they are rejoicing in the news that the two might be back together already. Furthermore, Cena’s emotional reaction seems to show that he cares very deeply for Bella and might just prove that he is serious about marrying her in the near future.

#4 Details on why they broke up

It’s the million dollar question on everyone in The WWE Universe’s mind and while there have been several accounts from Nikki and her sister on what happened, fans have yet to really hear Cena’s side of the whole thing yet. Fortunately for fans eager to get more details about the breakup, the source from People Magazine also claims to have has those juicy details in spades!

“Just like in the movie, the wedding got bigger than the both of them,” the source claimed to People,” — originally, it was going to be this small, intimate, family-oriented gathering with just the nearest and dearest. Then it blew up into a televised special and this whole ornate thing and it was just too much,”

The source also claimed that Cena’s humble upbringing and not having his dad around were two big things that shook him up emotionally during the wedding planning process. The source even claimed that Bella and Cena lost their strong bond with each other, which the source believes will be critical to them getting back together.

You’re dealing with a guy who grew up poor, without a dad, and with a history of commitment issues the source said,” — non-stop wedding publicity and a whole big extravaganza was bound to rattle him, and it did the source told People,” They got away from what made them work, which is the bond that’s just between John and Nicole— not John Cena, WWE Superstar, and “They need to regroup, and they both want to do that.”

Whether they actually are able to find that bond or not remains to be seen, but fans of the couple can always hope for the best!

#3 The breakup being a publicity stunt

What if it was just all a publicity stunt?

Unfortunately for The WWE Universe, that is now the reality they have to grip with after Star Magazine published a rumour claiming that Bella and Cena’s breakup was all a publicity stunt to help them make money off of their love life. Not only is that low for the couple to do, it also goes against the belief that Cena is private about his life.

Whether the rumour is true or not remains to be seen, but there are a lot of good reasons why people believe it to be true. The first of the reasons is that the breakup was announced only a few days before the season premiere of Total Bellas, which makes it seem like it was just a way to promote the show.

Another reason for the claims is that Cena and Bella have supposedly reconciled with each other, which makes the break up seem even more like a coordinated strike for ratings. The icing on top, however, is the fact that the current season of Total Bella’s focuses on the ups and downs of a relationship.

In the end, it could just be a way to promote the show and get fans to watch the premiere, but it could have also been genuine as well. In fact, it seems to be a genuine breakup due to the fact that it was supposedly over Cena not wanting children, which is something has been consistent on since the beginning.

#2 New Wedding plans

Believe it or not, there is now a rumour going around that John Cena and Nikki Bella already have wedding plans together after breaking up only a few months ago. Not only is that a huge departure from the road to reconciliation given to fans earlier, it furthers rumours that it was all a publicity stunt.

Interestingly enough though, this seems to coincide with the rumour of Cena and Bella wanting to have the wedding on WWE television. In fact, according to Wrestlingnews.co, John Cena and Nikki Bella “already have wedding plans” and E! execs are in the loop since it will air during season four of Total Bellas.”

With that being said, it’s not known when or where the wedding will actually happen, but its convenient that the couple already has wedding plans to together after saying they needed time alone after breaking up. In fact, it almost seems to verify that it was all just a publicity stunt to promote Total Bella’s.

Although this rumour is a little bit surprising to hear, especially since Cena is usually known as someone who is calm, cool and collected, it was rumoured that he wasn't taking the breakup very well. In fact, an inside source close to the situation told Us Weekly that Cena was a mess after the breakup.

That might be the reason why Cena came on television the next day and poured his heart out to Nikki Bella and could also be the reason why they reconciled so quickly. In the end, as impossible as it might seem for some people to believe, Cena might really need Nikki and its very evident by the behaviour he exhibited after the breakup.

#1 Another reason for their breakup

Maybe it is about the babies...

John Cena has made his thoughts known about not wanting to be a parent countless times over the last couple of years and while he has seemingly changed that opinion recently, it is being blamed as a reason why the couple broke up in April. In fact, one source close to the situation of Bella calling his bluff!

“He said so many times that if Nikki really wanted kids, she should leave him,” an unknown source told People TV Watch when asked about why Cena and Bella decided to end their long-term relationship, “So you know what? She left him!”

Of course, this explanation breaks from the story of Cena ending the relationship, but it also seems to show that Cena really needs Nikki more then she needs him. That’s a very interesting development, especially with how selfish Cena has appeared over the course of his career, and could be the result of him growing as a person a lot!
