#1 Nikki blamed Cena for not calling her after their breakup
In their first meeting following their breakup, Nikki Bella blamed Cena for not calling her and confessed that she missed him.
As seen on Total Bellas, Cena and Bella bumped into each other backstage during RAW after calling off their wedding. The former Divas Champion blamed her ex-finacé for not calling her the day before. He responded by saying that he wanted to do the right thing.
Cena told his ex-fiancée he missed her, and Nikki admitted she felt the same way.
John Cena moved on with his life and started dating Shay Shariatzadeh in early 2019, less than a year after splitting up with Nikki Bella. A few paparazzi photos of the couple soon surfaced on the internet before they made their red carpet debut at the premiere of his film Playing With Fire.
Cena's photos with Shariatzadeh had a strong impact on the former WWE Champion's ex-fiancée. On The Bellas Podcast, Nikki revealed her reaction to seeing Cena with another woman.
"When I saw the photo, it was weird. You know sometimes when you get a text, or you see a photo, or you see your significant other flirt with someone, you get those knots in your stomach and it hurts? Like you either want to poop your pants immediately … or you just have the craziest tummy-ache. Neither of that happened to me when I saw the photo."
The Total Bellas star further explained how she felt towards Cena dating Shay Shariatzadeh.
"He’s one of the people, besides you, Brie, who’s made me an amazing person. But because of how sad I made him and how much I felt like I hurt him, when I saw the big smile on his face with the paparazzi photos, I think that’s why I didn’t want to s— my pants."
Nikki ensured Cena that she was happy for him. However, she issued a warning to his then-girlfriend.
"I felt happy for him. I am very happy for him. As long as John is happy, I’m happy, let me tell you, she breaks his heart? I will rack-attack her in a heartbeat. Still protective of that man."
Luckily for Shariatzadeh, she did not break Cena's heart. Instead, she married the Hollywood star to make him extra happy.
