Nikki Bella shared her thoughts on John Cena’s shocking heel turn at Elimination Chamber during an interview with TK Trinidad at the “Queen of the Ring” premiere.
Cena turned heel after winning the Elimination Chamber Match that earned him a title shot against Rhodes at WrestleMania and Rhodes turning down The Rock’s request to be his champion. Nikki praised the execution of the turn and called it a gift to the fans.
Nikki stated, “It was done so well. To end your farewell tour and turn into a character that the fans have wanted for so long. How great for the fans. It’s like a gift he’s giving. I think it’s so cool. It was amazing.”
Cena and Bella began their relationship in 2012 and became engaged in 2017. Cena proposed in the ring at WrestleMania 33 following their mixed tag team match. They initially separated in 2018.
Both moved on as Cena married Shay Shariatzadeh in 2020, while Nikki married Artem Chigvintsev in August 2022, but their divorce was finalized in November 2024.
